The stories are exactly the same!
Create fear of WMD's in the wrong hands of insane religious nutters or tyrants.
Portray the regime as elitists who live in opulent wealth while the peasants starve. Tell stories of a weekend flight to Paris to buy some extravagant tat for the palace back home.
Include a story from ex-member of regime who witnesses Assad/Saddam/Gaddafi's, son/brother/cousin/uncle grabbing boys and girls off the street for his own pleasure, and he tells his tale exclusively to Guardian journalist.
Include a story about the bobsleigh team who lost at the Olympics so had their toenails pulled out...but one of them escapes to tell the tale exclusively to Guardian journalist.
Include stories of torture chambers where a victim witnesses torture of the most heinous kind and mass murder...but who miraculously escapes to tell the tale exclusively to Guardian journalist.
Include story about Assad/Saddam/Gaddafi told by ex-butler who saw pornography and drugs hidden under the bed, and who says that evil leader likes to wear women's underwear, who tells the tale exclusively to Guardian journalist.
Support, train and finance what is in reality a minority opposition who terrorise the country with car bombs and assassinations.
Regime reacts and starts to impose curfews and bans the opposition.
Rebels take up arms and are called freedom fighters. Create a rebel Government in exile...whose leader has studied at some no-name US think tank for Middle East study, that seems to be financed by a neo-conservative slush fund.
Express surprise and outrage when the regime shoots back to defend their country from attack and call them 'war criminals' who will be brought to trial.
Tell us that they are moving their WMD's around and putting them into missiles/ drones and they can attack us any time despite the fact that they are a third World country (and can't get spare parts for the washing machine let alone an aeroplane) and we are the most powerful military in the World!
Find a disgruntled General who defects tell us that they are planning to attack us using portable WMD's given to terrorists!
Despite our warnings, the regime insanely uses the very WMD's despite the fact that they are winning and have little to gain, that guarantees that we react.
We 'reluctantly' intervene and start a no-fly zone where we bomb the crap out of any weapons that they have to defend themselves and warn them if they actually have the nerve to shoot back they will suffer the consequences.
Support rebels with high calibre weapons and black ops troops and if necessary INVADE if they aren't winning.
After tens of thousands dead and the evil leader lynched, we discover that all the evidence we had was wrong, but hey, the evil one is dead so 'move on and get over it!'
Rinse and repeat with some other regime who doesn't do as it's told!
It's the cold war domino theory but the boot is on the foot. After the fall of the Berlin wall, the west is rolling back it's enemies in the Middle East and the ultimate goal is to control the natural resources that we need to keep us living in the manner to which we have become accustomed and the final endgame is the downfall of the ayatollahs in Iran.
Whats weird is that it's all been put down on paper by US (self styled) neo-cons twenty years before...but the media never tells us that part of the story.
