Everybody knows the broad outlines of the story. Arab Spring swept into Syria a year and a half ago and the Syrian masses rose up against the evil dictator etc.
Most people by now know the subtext too. The "spontaneous uprising" in Syria has been orchestrated by US vassal states Saudi Arabia and Qatar from the beginning. It's the "road to Damascus leads to Tehran" scenario much ballyhooed from this blog and many others.
Behind the masses yearning for freedom lies the realpolitik of US-Russia power struggles and the simmering Shia-Sunni war of attrition for dominance of the Islamist agenda.
So this story has a discombobulation factor that's off the scale. The headline and most of the text are what we expect. Iranian warships through the Suez on their way to Syria causes alarm in Israel!
That on the face of it is a scary story. What could those dodgy Persians be up to? And lets not forget that once they've cleared the Suez and are sailing past the Israeli coast, ISRAEL WILL BE SURROUNDED BY THE IRANIAN WAR MACHINE OH MY GOD!!!
But wait a minute, what's this? Three paragraphs from the bottom, we learn that the two-ship Iranian flotilla has put into Jedda for a couple of days r & r.
Jedda? That's in Saudi Arabia! That's where Bandar Bush, the CIA's favorite Arab, has just been promoted to Chief of Chiefs of secret service intel stuff of all sorts. He's the top spook, and probably the most powerful man in the land of Saud!
And this is where our arch-enemies the Iranians stop off for a few days on their way to Syria?
Something's not adding up here...
