Yesterday‘s calls for a diplomatic solution apparently forgotten, the European Union has offered its latest Syria policy after a new meeting of its foreign ministers, which includes tentative support for President Obama’s planned war on Syria.
That support, which would be the first real support President Obama has found outside of Saudi Arabia and its satellites, is conditional on the US waiting to attack until after the United Nations inspectors return with their report on samples taken from the site of the Jobar Incident.
The US vehemently opposed the inspectors being sent to Jobar at all, and has repeatedly ruled out waiting for them to report, with the unstated concern that they would issue a report that contradicts the administration’s narrative and would undermine the case for war.
With Britain out of the war and French President Hollande now promising to wait on the UN in an effort to placate his parliament, President Obama will have a particularly difficult time pushing through his plans to attack sooner, rather than later. This is doubly so because indications are that the House of Representatives will vote against the war.
The UN inspectors have been ordered to speed up their reviews of samples, but experts say it could still take 2-3 additional weeks before a report is ready. President Obama intends to give a speech Tuesday on the war, and says he expects the American public, which currently opposes it by a wide margin, to not only accept but “want” to attack Syria after his speech.
The UN report will only identify the type of gas that was used, an unnecessary three week delay, as all we want to know is the guilty party.
.
If you ask me, all of the Western officials know full well that Saudi Arabia orchestrated the deadly gas attack and its all a smokescreen, a thing that blind’s the mind by burning the emotions.
Just what is the EU waiting for; proof that chemicals were used at all or proof that it was the Syrian government that used them this time? The last time it was the rebels, who got caught using them, so shouldn´t the proof of “who used them this time” be the measuring stick?
Regardless of what the UN comes up with in their laboratories, the EU will be supporting a war crime if there is no UN resolution on attacking Syria.
Given that the bombs went of in a way that did not kill allot of combatants it seems likely that it was a case of the rebels mishandling munitions.
not only accept but “want” to attack Syria after his speech. So he sez 'the world' made him draw a 'red line' in the 1st place. In 2-3 weeks, 'America' will have made him The Butcher of Damascus…
No Mr. President you are the one who is going to attack Syria to prop up the apartheid state of Israel, not the American people.
UN investigation is based on 'use of chemical weapon" not who did it. So US can manipulate the result of the investigation in its favor and provides a cover for the European war criminlas.
