EXCELLENT POST. Would like to add this to the conversation involving QATAR. I do not know where I got this email, but it goes along with THIS:

and is mentioned inside the article. So you have a news piece AND the document the news piece refers to. Hope it helps add something to this excellent thread:

Subject: Syrian Issue

Phil,

We’ve got a new offer. It’s about Syria again. The Quataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the deal is approved by Washington. We will have to deliver a CW to Homs, a soviet-style g-shell similar to those that Assad should have. They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.

Frankly, I don’t think it’s a good idea, but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?

Kind regards,
