Officials continue hyping Wednesday’s allegations of a chemical weapons strike, saying that they believe such an attack probably happened even though they don’t have any actual proof to back that up. Conveniently enough, the Pentagon has new plans for attacking Syria.
The Pentagon was apparently hard at work coming up with these new plans and new targets, even though Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey had only two days prior warned against military involvement, and now has the cruise missiles ready to go, just waiting for presidential approval to launch the attack.
Now officials seem closer than ever to starting a war, and though President Obama did insist there would be “no rush” to attack Syria, there seems to be a renewed Congressional push to get the jump on Syria by not waiting for any pesky evidence to support their claims and just attacking outright.
With NATO allies France and Turkey already on the bandwagon and the Pentagon now having cruise missiles ready to go at a moment notice, it will be awfully easy for the administration to start attacking and argue that it was a “compromise” compared to some other, even bigger attack.
The case for that already seems to be getting laid out by the White House, which insists that they don’t envision “boots on the ground” during any potential military intervention.
What sort of attack that would mean remains to be seen, but officials have often discussed setting up “buffer zones,” nominally for humanitarian reasons but primarily to give Syrian rebel factions a place from which to launch attacks with impunity.
At the same time, any military intervention that seriously changes the situation on the ground will run into the same problem that has repeatedly been pointed to, that of the rebels’ dominance by al-Qaeda allies. This means that any attack that harms the Assad government too much risks bringing a jihadist faction into power that will be even more hostile toward the US.
So they're going to bypass the security council, break international law & start another massacre in the Middle East? How will China & Russia react?
they will look the other way
I hope not. However, there's a small part of me that almost hopes that they DO look the other way since direct Russian and Chinese involvement could lead to something very unpleasant.
US is lying when they accoune on their fucking TV and Radio that Assad does not allow UN inspections to do their job. In fact is the Obama's CIA trained terrorists who are preventing an investingation. How much lies gulligble American can get and stays silent as usual. Every silent American is a war criminal. How many times do you want to attack Mulisms based on LIES AND DECEPTION AND YOU STAY SILENT?
You are right. The enlightened American populace who belong to the land of the brave and the free are much worse than the Germans from WWII. At least the latter could claim most of them ignored about the Holocaust. Surely they didn't have access to Internet and the array of information from all over the world. How will they justify their complicit silence?
This is all kinds of just plain wrong. The chemical attack -was- confirmed, by multiple sources; mostly pictures and videos coming out of Syria, in addition to the BBC. What's unclear is -who- did it. Furthermore, France has demanded that we do something, and NATO isn't talking them down. However: We have literally no reason or desire to attack Syria. All of the US' enemies are tearing themselves apart in a massive proxy war/influence grab.
All the evidence on the ground point to Obama's terrorists supported by the US terrorists state of Saudi arabia who also is behind the massacre in Iraq. Therefore, Obama and his advisors and military crew ALL ARE WAR CRIMINALS WHO MUST BE ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Obama is deceiving the gullible American by referening ONLY use of chemical weapon but DO NOT TELL THE PUBLIC THAT ACTUALLY IS CARRIED OUT BY THE LOOSERS, CIA trainted terrorists who are fighting for US government to topple another elected president. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS TO TOPPLE OBAMA, the frist black 'president' with its war criminal cabinet using FORCE if the gullible Americans are not able to do it because too busy shopping in the mall. Russia, China and India and the rest of the world has duty to do it now before more bloodshed and more war crimes committed by Americans against Muslims and other gourps.
Fall is upon us and the neocons and neolibs, the latter also known as pwogwessive humanitarian imperialists, are rolling out the next step in dominating the Middle East and Central Asia by theUS/NATO/Israel, the axis of neocolonial evil.
"Pwogwessive humanitarian imperialists" is an awkward way of saying "zionists".
So what is our POS CON…gress doing right now? Nothing as usual?
Well, you can burn Afghan children to death and blame it on their parents ( http://news.antiwar.com/2011/02/21/petraeus-accus… )…but how dare those killing-his-own-people-types gas Al Qaeda.
The question we should be asking is if the United States were not interfering in what could be argued and WOULD be argued if it was an American Allied nation, that the rebel forces were not terrorist in nature, and America and its Allied nations are in fact aiding Terrorist activities against the lawful Government of a country, and the oft given argument that it isn't a Democratic nation is itself immaterial because when rebels in other NON Democratic countries in the region that are US allies such rebels are ALWAYS called Terrorists.
The question is how long such terrorist uprising would last if the United States and other US allies were not supplying them with weapons would this activity last!
What however is not being said here is that an Attack on Iran cannot be carried out UNTIL the supply route can be secured and Syria is on the right flank of the Turkish supply route!
Hopefully Russia and China will stop THE WARMONGERS IN THEIR TRACKS!
Russia, China and India must strike on Wh, Pentagon, Congress if these bastards dare to attack another Muslim country based ON LIES AND FALSE FLAG using their trained terrorsts, Al Qaeda like they did in false flag 9/11, otherwise they will be recognized as criminal states.
Down with police state. Arrest them now. Syria and Dr. Assad have been framed. Put the war criminals, Obama, Bush, Rufsfeld, Cheney, Hagel and the fucking rest on TRIAL NOW and keep them in prison for the rest of their lives. Save humanity now. The world SPIT AT THE WAR CRIMINALS. The world is fed up, fed up, fed up.
Well, China could send a jolt through the American economy & Russia can FINALLY arm Syria with those S-300 systems. Keep in mind that this will damage Putin SEVERELY domestically and in the international arena if he allows the US to force regime change in Syria without putting up a fight. Medvedev's ratings plunged in Russia after the Libya fiasco.
obama says he needs a UN mandate. the inspectors, which the Syrian Govt INVITED IN, are only tasked with establishing USE, not who used them. presumably, just establishing USE is going to be sufficient for an attack on Syria.
23 Aug: Jerusalem Post: Report: Syrian rebel forces trained by West are moving towards Damascus
Le Figaro reports rebel soldiers trained by US, Jordan, Israel crossed border to Syria on Aug 17…
***The UN team, including weapons experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, will try to establish only whether chemical weapons including sarin and other toxic nerve agents were used, not who used them. http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Report-Syrian-re…
Why would a government "invite" people in only to have these folks crucify them in the process. That's insane. But, of course, this is the very angle our American nut jubs use to justify their actions.
So what are they going to blow up – aspirin factories again?
What else are they going to do with all those cruise missiles? The abundance of them avoids the more difficult solution of actually trying to solve a problem.
The Obama administration is apparently looking for any reason to hand another reasonably secular Arab nation over to the Wahhabist jihadis. And the congress, both sides (sic) seems to be on board with it. Strange days in this unraveling republic.
The American politicians and to a somewhat lesser extent the American public have been well trained and conditioned by the Zionist-American media. They know which buttons to push and how to 'shade' the appearance of facts to arouse them to act in their (Zionist) behalf. The question I always wonder about in these cases is where is the CIA in all this? What secret ops have they and their agents been up to under the shadow of darkness ?
When the government can spy on its own citizens without warrants in total violation of the 4th amendment and when the President believes he can launch wars of aggression on sovereign nations without a Congressional declaration of war, clearly this demonstrates that we are no longer have a lawful government.
I was wondering about the Israeli attack on anti ship missiles. So maybe this is more than a show of force, it might really happen. Needless to say it is always possible Syria has many more anti ship missiles they are not bragging about. During the Israeli incursion into Lebanon in 06 a few anti ship missiles appeared out of nowhere, one actually hitting an Israeli vessel, although the Israel claimed it did not have its electronic warfare equipment running. On the other hand a US fleet will have many more targets than a lone small Israeli patrol ship. There have also been scandals around poor construction of US naval vessels so if one were hit, I hope it was built in Maine not the Gulf coast.

U.S. officials say Israel targeted advanced anti-ship cruise missiles near Syria's principal port city
Been telling everyone for the last eighteen months that the game plan is for the US and NATO to attack Syria to allow Israel to attack Hizballah in Lebanon.
No one believed me. Professor Dan Joyner called me a "crazy conspitacy theorist".
It's going to happen, probably by end of this year, if not sooner.
