NO SHAME

rough second draft.

The recent U.S. raid inside Syria was a whopper of an event to put to use by regional parties.

SYRIA

Aware that it’s the only pan-Arab country still standing on its feet, Syria allowed all to visit the region where the raid took place. Why? To give room to the Arab Street to sympathize with the pan-Arab country, an essential sponsor of Hezbollah, the guerrilla army that showed off those Arab leaders, the ones on their knees, the “half-men.” A huge doze of pan-Arab legitimacy.

You can tell that the Arab Street was sympathetic. The non-Saudi funded Arab press seemed solidly in Syria’s corner. Abdel-Bari Atwan from al-Quds al-Arabi showed terrific understanding. He could’ve criticized Syria for not responding. But he didn’t, likely for the reasons outlined below. Likely, too, for the reason that no Arab can afford to see the harmful idiots dismember yet another Arab country.

To have the Israelo-Americans – the same people who devastated an Arab country, Iraq, dismembered it! – to have these people attack you is nothing short of a badge of honor. Milk it for all the legitimacy it'll get ya.

SAUDI ISRAELABIA

But the Saudi ruling elite weren’t impressed. I’d dare say they were envious, even jealous. They seemed to be wishing that the harmful idiots had ordered a raid inside the Kingdom.

The Saudi Al-Riyadh.com on October 29 featured an article adapting nearly in full a story from its Israeli edition (Yedioth Ahronoth) saying that the raid ordered by the harmful idiots inside Syria had been coordinated with Syrian intelligence. Ha! The Israeli article – and its adaptation (in effect) in full in alRiyadh.com – made hay of the fact that the raid had taken place in the daytime; that Syrian troops had been on a state of alert but didn’t respond. That the Syrian Air Force didn’t respond either. You see: coordination. Hush.

Yedioth Ahronoth got that intelligence from a recent appointee at the Pentagon, it said, per its Saudi edition, alRiyadh.com. Yeah, like anyone at the Pentagon wants to talk to the Israelis since they really trust that these wouldn't be spying.

Oh, you want me to answer the allegations in Yedioth Ahronoth A.K.A. alRiyadh.com? Here it is: because Syria is too smart to be drawn into a conventional battle with the harmful idiots. The troops of these (ours, sadly being led by harmful idiots) would destroy Syria’s Air Force in a nano second. Drawing Syria into a conventional battle likely was one reason for the raid, anyway. A calculated boost for John McCain, said the Syrian press. (They’re not idiots, you see, though they can be harmful when their interest is threatened.) The harmful idiots are too scared of Iran to stage a raid inside that country. In contrast, Syria was/is an easy target.

At any rate, al-Riyadh A.K.A. Yedioth Ahronoth (forgive me -- but I'm loving this) featured its thinly-veiled adaptation of the article from its its Israeli edition (Yedioth Ahronoth) on the front page of alRiyadh.com. AlRiyadh.com featured the Israeli article on top of the front page, following the mandatory two articles about the King, May God Protect Him – the articles (about the King) which no one reads. In effect, therefore, the adaptation from Yedioth Ahronoth was front-and-center for the Israeli al-Riyadh–Ooops, I meant Arab, oops, I meant Saudi. Oops, I meant Saudi Israelabian.
