Friday April 5, 2013 I've Been Thinking: Syria sent a very public message to its neighbor, Jordan, yesterday. The clear and unambiguous message was butt out - or else. The announcement was printed as a front page editorial on the most read newspaper in Syria, the newspaper which is an official mouthpiece of Assad. The message was also declared on Syrian radio. Over on the other side, according to a report released yesterday, And then a major mystery emerged yesterday when the Egyptians stopped and commandeered a ship with 63,000 arms on it, not including ammunition. The vessel was not flying a flag, but information has been leaked out of Egypt suggesting that it may have been registered in Togo. No one knows where it was going. Most probably the ship carried weapons from Iran going to support Assad in Syria. But they could also have been weapons from Qatar going to the aid of the rebels in Syrian. The last possibility - and no one idea is less plausible than the others - is that the weapons were destined for either Hamas in Gaza or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. More details will, I am sure, surface soon. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
