Syrian situation: update

[danny]

welll it looks like turkey is trying to get away from sryia after calling on their citizens to leave syria, which brngs the possibility of them calling out their ambassador to syria.

Also syrian army defectors have started fighting their former comrades which poses the interesting question of whether their military personnel actually agree with whats going on there. cant wait to see what comes of it.

looks like it is getting worse there. Oh well, another war in the middle east...

if the us we're allowed to drill well then... we'd be even higher up on the target list of every opec nation, seeing as we could supply oil at a lower price given the surplus we would have.

So they watch over the exchange of oil?

Look, countries buy petrol from the cheapest source usually (unless they are in a war situation with that country). If US invades countries and gains control over their petrol, then ofcourse they will sell it cheaper and be the #1 petrol provider, lowering profit from other countries.
In other words,
1. America gets petrol sources
2. America sells petrol in lower prices
3. Other petrol selling countries sad
4. Other petrol selling countries bankrupt
5. America greatest/only petrol provider.
6. Americans buy petrol way cheaper because now America doesnt buy from other countries, so it is cheaper
7. Americans happy with obama's plans
8. Obama gets re-elected (if he hasnt already been, not following politics in US)

Ah, i see. Also, Obama hasn't been re-elected. Election for the US are in November.

and with gas prices going UP not DOWN because obama ISNT letting us even become self sufficient on our own oil. he wont be re-elected. thank all that is holy for that. his advisors WANT to raise gas prices, they think that in doing so that green energy companies wil do better, in fact this isnt the case. while the garage start ups htat have recieved little federal money are doing ewell many of the companies that obama gave MILLIONS and in some cases BILLIONS to are going bankrupt. this is why the fed should stay out of the private sector in most cases.

"MOSCOW
Russia today categorically refused to join about a dozen Western and Arab foreign ministers gathering in Paris to discuss ways to pressure Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad to abide by the terms of the United Nations peace plan, alleging that the meeting's intent was "counterproductive."

Moscow's self-exclusion from the latest "Friends of Syria" conference – which will include top policymakers from the US, Germany, France, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other countries – suggests that the recent reconciliation between Russia and the West over how to approach the Syrian crisis may be short-lived.

In fact, though both Russia and the West say they support the plan crafted by UN envoy to Syria Kofi Annan, each appears to have a dramatically different interpretation of what results should flow from its implementation."
