Reports out of Kuwait suggest that Arab states are set to impose a no fly zone over Syria with US logistical support, advancing the prospect of a military assault to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad under a “humanitarian” pretext.
“Senior European sources said that Arab jet fighters, and possibly Turkish warplanes, backed by American logistic support will implement a no fly zone in Syria’s skies, after the Arab League will issue a decision, under its Charter, calling for the protection of Syrian civilians,” reports Albawaba, citing Kuwait’s al Rai daily.
YNet news, the website for Israel’s most widely read newspaper, also carried the report.
As part of a plan to cripple the country’s military forces within 24 hours, the “movement of Syrian military vehicles, including tanks, personnel carriers and artillery,” would all be banned under the terms of the no fly zone.

The bloody chaos engulfing Egypt again, just months after its first revolution toppled President Hosni Mubarak, is the focus of the world’s media spotlight. But Western leaders are turning a blind eye, instead setting their sights on pastures new.
It seems the bogeyman of the moment is another Middle Eastern country.
“Abuses and loss of life are taking place in Syria,” says British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
“The future of Syria now depends upon the ability of all us to keep pressure on them,” says EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton.
“We’ve called on President Bashar al-Assad to make reforms,” says French Foreign Secretary Alain Juppe.
Around 30 people have died in Cairo’s clashes already, and it has been all over the international media.

Tear gas, rubber bullets and angry slogans have been flying in Egypt’s Tahrir Square as police and protesters clash for a third day. The country’s officials claim at least 35 people have been killed in the largest demonstration since February’s uprising that ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak. Independent online journalist James Corbett says spring revolt threw out a figurehead but didn’t achieve structural changes in military power structure.

The West is doing its best to destabilize the situation in Syria, author and journalist Webster Tarpley told RT. According to him, civilians have to deal with death squads and blind terrorism, which is typical of the CIA.
“What average Syrians of all ethnic groups say about this is that they are being shot at by snipers. People complained that there are terrorist snipers who are shooting at civilians, blind terrorism simply for the purpose of destabilizing the country. I would not call this civil war – it is a very misleading term. What you are dealing with here are death squads, you are dealing with terror commandos; this is a typical CIA method. In this case it’s a joint production of CIA, MI6, Mossad, it’s got money coming from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and Qatar,” he explained.
