(Editor’s Note: This is not a new story, it’s actually about a year old. HOWEVER, given recent events, it seemed apropo.)
One year ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote an article detailing that the reason the U.S. wanted to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was actually because he refused to back a Qatari gas pipeline project.

Apparently, had the project been completed it would have had major geopolitical implications, “the Sunni kingdoms of the Persian Gulf decisive domination of world natural gas markets and strengthen Qatar, America’s closest ally in the Arab world.” The gas link would also have provided Ankara with “rich transit fees.” For Kennedy, this was proof that the Syrian conflict was actually about a “violent foreign-sponsored insurgency aimed at bringing a business project to life,” and not human rights.
From the article:
“If we study the history of America’s relation with Mideast and looking at the US’ violent intervention in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt over time and the extraordinary and astonishing thing is the solid record of the cataclysmic failure every time we venture there in violent fashion. Most Americans are completely unaware of us attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government in Syria, contrary to our own state department policy and contrary to American values.”
While the recent chemical gas attacks on the people of Syria have been called a “false flag,” there are still others who are thankful for the intervention.
Let’s hope we aren’t on the brink of WW3.
