Real Reason for the War in Syria

Bassma Kdmani, the head of Syrian National Transitional Council, was invited at the 2012 Bilderberg Conference. Paul Joseph Watson, the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com, cast a suspicious glance on it:

The presence of Syrian National Transitional Council head Bassma Kodmani at the 2012 Bilderberg conference clearly indicates that power brokers at the elite confab will be discussing the effort to topple President Bashar Al-Assad and install a NATO-friendly administration in the violence-stricken country.

Whether the above statement is a kind of 'conspiracy' or not, a simple question should be asked. "What is the real reason to intervene in Syria?"
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky helps us to get the timely answer in his latest article in Global Research.

What is the real reason for America's war on Syria?

This question is addressed in a lead article by James P. Rubin, a Bloomberg executive editor and former State department official under the Clinton administration. The article appears in this month's Foreign Policy Magazine under the clear-cut title: "The Real Reason to Intervene in Syria"

In an unusual twist, "the answer to the question", namely "the real reason" is provided in the article's subtitle: "Cutting Iran's link to the Mediterranean Sea is a strategic prize worth the risk.".

The subtitle should dispel --in the eyes of the reader-- the illusion that US foreign policy has an underlying "humanitarian  mandate".  Pentagon and US State department documents as well as independent reports confirm that military action against Syria has been contemplated by Washington and Tel Aviv for more than 20 years. 

According to James P. Rubin, the war plans directed against Syria are intimately related to those pertaining to Iran. They are part of the same US-Israeli military agenda which consists in weakening Iran with a view to "protecting Israel". The latter objective is to be carried out through a pre-emptive attack against Iran:  "We're not done with the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran" says James P. Rubin. (emphasis added)

As it has become clearer that the Houla massacre was not undertaken by the pro-government militia as claimed in chorus and without evidence by the Western media (actually it was committed by units of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), an armed entity directly supported by the US-NATO-Israel military alliance), the next questions should be asked:

What is the precise nature of the relationship between the FSA and the Western military alliance?  
What is the command structure? 
What is the nature of this diabolical covert operation? 
Who ordered these atrocities against the Syrian people?
