Since theres apparently not enough war in the Middle East just now, theres more on the way from Washington. So heres a novel suggestion - what about the American, Israeli, Iranian, Russian and other governments bomb each other for a change and leave Arab peoples and oil alone...? US Army report calls for ‘military support’ of Israeli energy grab 01-01-2014: A new report by the US Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute emphasises the need for “US security and military support” to its key allies in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly Israel, over access to recent vast discoveries of regional oil and gas. The Army study, released earlier in December 2014, concludes that extensive US military involvement “may prove essential in managing possible future conflict” in case of “an eruption of natural resource conflict in the East Mediterranean,” due to huge gas discoveries in recent years. Visible US engagement is also necessary to ward off the regional encroachment of “emerging powers and potential new peace brokers such as Russia - which already entertains a strong interest in East Mediterranean gas developments - and notably China.”
