All-Out Civil War Middle East 2 help Israel? Would You Welcome Emails frm Someone Who Floats This?
Everyone is probably well aware that HRC accepted continual emails from Sidney Blumenthal, an employee of the Clinton Foundation with business interests in Libya, all the while she was SOS.
This is from one of the emails he sent her, in which he forwards or mentions a viewpoint concerning the consequences of toppling the Assad regime in Syria. HRC valued this email enough to seemingly forward it to Jake Sullivan:
7. ... At the same time, the fall of the House of Assad could well ignite a sectarian war between the Shiites and the majority Sunnis of the region drawing in Iran, which, in the view of Israeli commaders would not be a bad thing for Israel and its Western allies. ... In addition, certain senior Israeli intelligence analysts believe that this turn of events may even prove to be a factor in the eventual fall of the current government of Iran.

Here's something, apparently, from the State Dept. Can anyone figure out who authored this?

The best way to help Israel deal with Iran's growing nuclear capability is to help the people of
Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad.
Negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear program will not solve Israel's security dilemma. Nor will
they stop Iran from improving the crucial part of any nuclear weapons program — the capability
to enrich uranium. At best, the talks between the world's major powers and Iran that began in
Istanbul this April and will continue in Baghdad in May will enable Israel to postpone by a few
months a decision whether to launch an attack on Iran that could provoke a major Mideast war.
Iran's nuclear program and Syria's civil war may seem unconnected, but they are. For Israeli
leaders, the real threat from a nuclear-armed Iran is not the prospect of an insane Iranian leader
launching an unprovoked Iranian nuclear attack on Israel that would lead to the annihilation of

This is a policy of bloody regime change. This is the WORST kind of way to go about foreign affairs, it's warlike, not peaceful. It's arrogant, it's mean and evil.
Is anyone shocked? Probably not, we're so conditioned to think we're exceptional and know better what is good for other people so just fuck them, rah rah rah Merka.
