“WMD lie” re-run for another state act of international terrorism

President Barack H. Obama is convinced and very insistent that Syria must be attacked and bombed. The on going current excuse is that Syrian Forces used chemical weapons against its own people. He has resorted of getting congressional approval for the international illegal attack and crime against the sovereign government of Syria.

Obama says U.S. will take military action against Syria, pending Congress’s approval

President Obama said Saturday that the United States has decided to use military force against Syria, calling last week’s alleged chemical weapons attack there “an attack on human dignity,” but said he would to seek congressional authorization for an attack.The announcement puts off an imminent cruise missile strike, a prospect that had put the region on edge and stoked intense debate in the United States, where many dread getting dragged into a new war. It is not clear what the Obama administration would do if Congress declines to authorize a military operation.
“We cannot and must not turn a blind eye to what happened in Damascus,” Obama said during an address at the Rose Garden. “This has implications beyond chemical warfare.”
Congress is in recess until Sept. 9, and it was not immediately clear whether lawmakers would try to convene earlier for an emergency vote. Leading lawmakers who had called on the administration to seek congressional approval were pleased by Obama’s announcement.
“At this point in our country’s history, this is absolutely the right decision, and I look forward to seeing what the administration brings forward and to a vigorous debate on this important authorization,” said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.).
With five U.S. Navy destroyers deployed in the eastern Mediterranean, the Pentagon has been ready to strike for days, and appeared likely to remain on a war footing as the debate at home continues to unfold.
“We are prepared to strike whenever we choose,” Obama said. But he added that plans to launch an attack were “not time-sensitive” and that a strike could come “tomorrow, next week or a month from now.”
Obama’s remarks came as senior administration officials were making a fresh round of calls to congressional leaders Saturday in an effort to bolster support for a potential military strike, officials said.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were among the administration officials expected to speak to key members of Congress on Saturday afternoon.
“We’re confident in our analysis that the United States and our allies can handle any contingencies that come as a result of military action should it be chosen by the president,” a senior U.S. official said.
Hagel, who returned to Washington on Friday night after a week-long trip to Asia, had substantive discussions with Obama, as well as with his French and Israeli counterparts, while on his way home, according to the official, who would discuss the administration’s efforts only on the condition of anonymity.
As key allies and members of Congress have raised concerns about and objections to U.S. military involvement in Syria’s messy civil war, the White House appears to be carefully weighing the risks of launching an attack that would likely be carried out with cruise missiles. The priority Saturday appeared to be bolstering support for the operation on Capitol Hill, where key members have expressed strong reservations and called on the White House to fully consult with Congress before authorizing a strike.
“We have a financial crisis in our military,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Thursday after being briefed by an administration official. “Several members agreed with me that whatever is decided upon, it’s going to take military resources that are at decreased readiness levels due to a lack of funding.”
White House officials have said they are contemplating only a limited, brief strike and have pushed back on the contention that such a move could drag the United States into a new, prolonged conflict in the Middle East.
**************
Obama claimed that they are ready to strike against Syria at any time and he also admitted that he is ready to commit the US Forces on the attack even without congressional approval and support.
This is unilateral attack is without any evidence being presented to the United Nations Security Council, let alone a resolution. The matter of fact the UN inspectors haven’t conclusively finished their investigations in Syria.

U.N. experts prepare to leave Syria, chemical probe needs time

UNITED NATIONS | Fri Aug 30, 2013 4:49pm EDT
(Reuters) – A team of U.N. investigators has finished gathering evidence related to a suspected chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds of people in suburbs near Damascus last week, but will need time to complete its analysis, the world body said on Friday.
The announcement the U.N. inspectors will not be releasing their findings immediately came as Washington suggested the U.N. investigation would have no bearing on its decision about whether to attack Syria in retaliation for the alleged poison gas attack on civilians.
Russia, diplomats said, was hoping to use the time needed to complete the U.N. probe to slow down any push for air strikes.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said the inspectors would be leaving Syria on Saturday but would return later to investigate several other alleged poison gas attacks that have taken place in Syria during the country’s 2-1/2-year civil war.
“The samples that have been collected will be taken to be analyzed in designated laboratories and the intention of course is to expedite the analysis of that sampling that’s been taken,” Nesirky said.
He offered no timeline for when that analysis would be completed, but said all samples would need to be fully analyzed.
“This is not an electoral process, where you have exit polls and preliminary results,” he said. “This is a scientific process. The only result that counts is the result of the analysis in laboratories and the analysis of the evidence that’s been collected through witness statements and so on.”
He was addressing reporters while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was meeting with delegates from the five permanent U.N. Security Council members – Britain, ChinaFrance,Russia and the United States – to update them on the U.N. investigation in Syria. Envoys from the five countries gave no details of the meeting to reporters after it ended.
Ban cut short a visit to Europe amid concerns that Western powers are preparing military strikes against Syria to punish the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the chemical attack. Assad’s government, like Syria’s ally Russia, blames the rebels for the attack.
France said on Friday it still backed military action to punish Assad’s government and Washington pushed ahead with plans for a response despite a British parliamentary vote against a military strike.
An unclassified report by U.S. intelligence agencies released on Friday said the attack killed 1,429 Syrian civilians, including 426 children.
NO TIMELINE
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday the U.N. experts could not provide the United States with anything it did not already know about the August 21 incident.
The U.N. inspectors’ mandate dictates they will only seek to determine whether chemical weapons were used, not who used them. Western diplomats said that limitation undermined the usefulness of the inspectors’ findings.
Shortly afterward, U.S. President Barack Obama blasted the U.N. Security Council for its “incapacity … to move forward in the face of a clear violation of international norms.”
Russia, backed by China, has used its veto power three times to block resolutions condemning Assad’s government and threatening it with sanctions.
U.N. diplomats said that Russia, anticipating military action against Syria soon, might call an emergency meeting of the 15-nation council over the weekend to urge countries to wait for the U.N. investigation results before making any decisions.
“Russia wants to use the Security Council and the time it takes to produce a report on the U.N. investigation to slow down the momentum toward action,” a Western diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
U.N. officials say the world body’s findings will be important because they will be widely seen as irrefutable, in contrast to doubts that arise with intelligence in light of the erroneous information on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs that was used to justify the 2003 invasion.
Asked about rumors that all the U.N. investigators had left Syria already, Nesirky said the experts were still there and would be departing on Saturday, although translators and some support staff had already left.
Earlier this week, Syria’s U.N. envoy asked the United Nations to order chemical experts in Damascus to investigate three rebel attacks in which he said Syrian troops “inhaled poisonous gas,” while Britain pushed for the Security Council to act on the crisis.
Nesirky said the team began an inquiry into those allegations on Friday.
“Today the mission visited a government military hospital in Damascus as part of its evaluation of information provided by Syria on that,” he said, adding that the investigators would continue investigating when they return to Syria.
The United States dismissed the appeal by Syria’s U.N. envoy, saying it had stonewalled the U.N. experts for months.
The United Nations has received at least 14 reports of possible chemical weapons use in Syria. After months of diplomatic wrangling, the U.N. experts, led by Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom, arrived in Syria on August 18 with a 14-day mandate to visit the country.
The U.N. team was initially going to look into three incidents, but its priority became last week’s incident.

United Nations inspectors just arrived in Rotterdam, Netherland and it would be weeks before they could come up with a proper report on their findings.
The truth is that United Nations inspectors hastily left Syria in fear of an American unilateral attack against Damascus and this inadvertently opened a window of a military attack. A military intervention however illegal and criminal is eminent, despite the lack of legal proofs.
Two days ago British Prime Minister David Cameron lost the bid through Westminster Palace to get British MPs to support the agenda of attacking Syria. Even his own party’s Ministers and MPs did not support him.

Syria crisis: Cameron loses Commons vote on Syria action

David Cameron: “It is clear to me that the British parliament… does not want to see British military action”
MPs have rejected possible UK military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government to deter the use of chemical weapons.
David Cameron said he would respect the defeat of a government motion by 285-272, ruling out joining US-led strikes.
The US said it would “continue to consult” with the UK, “one of our closest allies and friends”.
France said the UK’s vote does not change its resolve on the need to act in Syria.
Russia – which has close ties with the Assad government – welcomed Britain’s rejection of a military strike.
The prime minister’s call for a military response in Syria followed a suspected chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of the capital Damascus on 21 August, in which hundreds of people are reported to have died.
The US and UK say the Assad government was behind the attack – a claim denied by Damascus, which blames the rebels.
Assad said Syria would defend itself against any aggression.
‘Harm relationship’
The UK government’s motion was in support of military action in Syria if it was backed up by evidence from United Nations weapons inspectors, who are investigating the attack.
They are due to finish their work on Friday and give their preliminary findings to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the weekend.
After the vote Prime Minster David Cameron said it was clear Parliament did not want action and “the government will act accordingly”.
Chancellor George Osborne told Radio 4′s Today programme there would now be “national soul searching about our role in the world”.
He added: “I hope this doesn’t become a moment when we turn our back on all of the world’s problems.”
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond had told BBC’s Newsnight programme that he and the prime minister were “disappointed” with the result, saying it would harm Britain’s “special relationship” with Washington.
But he said he did not expect Britain’s decision to “stop any action” by other countries.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said on Friday that the House of Commons had spoken “for the people of Britain”.
“People are deeply concerned about the chemical weapons attacks in Syria, but they want us to learn the lessons of Iraq,” he said.
“They don’t want a rush to war. They want things done in the right way, working with the international community.”
He said Britain “doesn’t need reckless and impulsive leadership, it needs calm and measured leadership”.
Ian Pannell: The victims “arrived like the walking dead”
Mr Miliband said Britain’s relationship with the US “remains strong” despite the vote. He said there is a lesson that Britain must do what is in its national interest, even if that means doing something different to America.
He also said that Mr Cameron must “find other ways” to put pressure on Mr Assad.
The result of the vote was condemned by former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown, who tweeted that in “50 years trying to serve my country I have never felt so depressed [or] ashamed”.
He later told the BBC that by doing nothing President Assad will use chemical weapons more “those weapons will become more commonplace in the Middle East battlefield” and “we will feel the effects of that as well”.
PM ‘diminished’
The defeat comes as a potential blow to the authority of Mr Cameron, who had already watered down a government motion proposing military action, in response to Labour’s demands for more evidence of President Assad’s guilt.
Britain will not be involved in any military action that takes place in Syria, the chancellor has confirmed
The BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson said the prime minister had now lost control of his own foreign and defence policy, and as a result he will cut a diminished figure on the international stage.
He added that some strong advocates of the transatlantic relationship were worried that America may now question the value and reliability of Britain as an ally.
During the debate, Labour had seen its own amendment – calling for “compelling” evidence that the regime was responsible for chemical attacks – rejected by MPs by 114 votes.
But, unexpectedly, MPs also rejected the government’s motion.
Labour’s shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the government defeat was down to the “fatally flawed” case put to MPs by Mr Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, claiming the pair’s credibility was now diminished.
‘The system works’
Shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy said so many of Mr Cameron’s own MPs had voted with Labour because they were now “unwilling to take him at his word”.
Conservative rebel Crispin Blunt said he hoped the vote would “relieve ourselves of some of this imperial pretension that a country of our size can seek to be involved in every conceivable conflict that’s going on around the world”.

The British public once were duped into beliveing then Prime Minister Tony Blair’s lie in the British Parliament.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin is far from being convinced. Putin felt is is “Utter nonsense” for the Syrian Forces to use chemical weapons against their own people, in a civil war where they have the offensive upper hand and control.

Russia’s Vladimir Putin challenges US on Syria claims

Obama statement
Russian President Vladimir Putin has challenged the US to present to the UN evidence that Syria attacked rebels with chemical weapons near Damascus.
Mr Putin said it would be “utter nonsense” for Syria’s government to provoke opponents with such attacks.
US President Barack Obama says he is considering military action against Syria after intelligence reports that 1,429 people were killed on 21 August.
UN weapons inspectors have now left Syria and arrived in the Netherlands.
They are taking the evidence they gathered during four days of site visits to the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons, in The Hague.
The BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner examines what we know about the Syria attack on 21 August
The samples are thought to include soil, swabs from munitions, blood and hair from the victims and, experts say, possibly even flesh from dead bodies.
The UN has said its inspectors had been able to carry out a “wide range of fact-finding activities”. However, their mandate is limited to determining the use of chemical weapons and not who used them.
UN spokesman Martin Nesirky refused to set a timeframe for the results of lab tests and the inspectors’ full report.
He described as “grotesque” the suggestion that the departure of inspectors from Syria “somehow opens the window for military action”.
The UN’s humanitarian work in Syria would continue, he said.
Obama statement
The US says hundreds of children were among those killed in the suspected chemical weapons attacks, which it blames on the Syrian government.
Syria says the US claim is “full of lies” and says rebels carried out the attacks.
Mr Obama is to make a statement on Syria at 17:15 GMT but will not announce any imminent military action, the White House says.
Senior officials are holding conference calls on Saturday about Syria with both Republican and Democratic senators.
Mr Obama said on Friday the US was planning a “limited, narrow” military response that would not involve “boots on the ground”.
‘Trump card’
The inspectors’ departure from Syria removes both a practical and a political obstacle to the launch of US-led military action, correspondents say.

At the scene

There are those in Syria who will cheer on the US action and those who will be quite worried by it, but I think everyone is making some preparation.
People are trying to buy what they can, stockpile things, get water, bread, food that lasts, because they don’t know what’s going to happen.
They don’t know what President Obama means by a limited attack and what consequences that may have for their lives and the degree to which it would stay limited.
The BBC’s Jeremy Bowen in Damascus says people are worried and are making preparations.
They do not know what Mr Obama meant by a limited attack and what consequences it will have, he adds.
Speaking to journalists in the Russian far-eastern city of Vladivostok, Mr Putin urged Mr Obama – as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate – to think about future victims in Syria before using force.
He said it was ridiculous to suggest the Syrian government was to blame for the attack, calling it a “provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict”.
“Syrian government troops are on the offensive and have surrounded the opposition in several regions,” he said.
“In these conditions, to give a trump card to those who are calling for a military intervention is utter nonsense.”
Russia’s Vladimir Putin challenges US on Syria claims
He said that the US failure to present evidence to the international community was “simply disrespectful”.
“If there is evidence it should be shown. If it is not shown, then there isn’t any,” he said.
The main findings of the unclassified US evidence state that:
  • the attack killed 1,429 people, including 426 children
  • Syrian military chemical weapons personnel were operating in the area in the three days before the attack
  • Satellite evidence shows rockets launched from government-held areas 90 minutes before the first report of chemical attack
  • 100 videos attributed to the attack show symptoms consistent with exposure to a nerve agent
  • Communications were intercepted involving a senior Damascus official who “confirmed chemical weapons were used” and was concerned about UN inspectors obtaining evidence
‘Completely unexpected’
Russia – a key ally of Syria – has previously warned that “any unilateral military action bypassing the UN Security Council” would be a “direct violation of international law”.
Moscow, along with China, has vetoed two previous draft resolutions on Syria.
Barack Obama: “We’re not considering any boots on the ground approach”
Mr Putin also expressed surprise at a vote in the British parliament on Thursday ruling out participation in military action.
“I will be honest: this was completely unexpected for me,” he said.
“This shows that in Great Britain, even if it is the USA’s main geopolitical ally in the world… there are people who are guided by national interests and common sense, and value their sovereignty.”
Meanwhile in France – seen as the main US ally since the UK vote – an opinion poll suggested that 64% opposed the use of force.
Neither France nor the US needs parliamentary approval for military action.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said his country will defend itself against any Western “aggression”.
Forces which could be used against Syria:
Syria map
• Four US destroyers - USS Gravely, USS Ramage, USS Barry and USS Mahan – are in the eastern Mediterranean, equipped with cruise missiles. The missiles can also be fired from submarines, but the US Navy does not reveal their locations
• Airbases at Incirlik and Izmir in Turkey, and in Jordan, could be used to carry out strikes
• Two aircraft carriers - USS Nimitz and USS Harry S Truman are in the wider region
• French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is currently in Toulon in the western Mediterranean
• French Rafale and Mirage aircraft can also operate from Al-Dhahra airbase in the UAE
*****************
Putin had asked the Americans and Brits to produce credible evidence via the United Nation’s for the “Chemical weapons” claim.
Putin’s skepticism makes a lot of sense. The two have proven themselves to manufacture ‘evidence’, to warrant their illegal war actions. Just like the lie about “Possesion of Weapon of Mass Destruction” to warrant the attack against Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi forces slightly more than 10 years ago.
He committed the Russian Navy to check on the US and Royal Navies maneuvres in East Mediterranean, in anticipation of the attack against Syria.

Russia sends warships to Mediterranean as Syria tension rises

MOSCOW | Thu Aug 29, 2013 7:59am EDT
(Reuters) - Russia is sending two warships to the east Mediterranean, Interfax news agency said on Thursday, but Moscow denied this meant it was beefing up its naval force there as Western powers prepare for military action against Syria.
Interfax quoted a source in the armed forces’ general staff as sayingRussia, Syria’s most powerful ally, was deploying a missile cruiser from the Black Sea Fleet and a large anti-submarine ship from the Northern Fleet in the “coming days”.
Any strengthening of the navy’s presence could fuel tension, especially as the United States has said it is repositioning naval forces in the Mediterranean following an alleged chemical weapons attack which is blames on Syrian government forces.
“The well-known situation now in the eastern Mediterranean required us to make some adjustments to the naval force,” the source said in a reference to the events in Syria.
It was not clear when the vessels would arrive but Interfax said the Moskva missile cruiser was currently in the North Atlantic and would set sail in the next few days.
President Vladimir Putin has said the naval presence is needed to protect national security interests and is not a threat to any nation. Russiacooperates with NATO navies against piracy and its ships call at Western ports.
The navy later indicated a deployment was imminent in the Mediterranean but gave no details except to say it would be part of a long-planned rotation and suggested it would not increase the size of Russian forces there.
“This is not a new group … but a planned rotation,” an highly-placed navy official who was not identified told state-run RIA news agency.
The reason for the discrepancy in the reports by Interfax and RIA was not clear but confusion has at times surrounded previous Russian deployments in the Mediterranean because of the secrecy involved. The Defence Ministry declined comment.
Washington accuses Syrian government forces of carrying out last week’s chemical weapons attack and has made clear it could soon launch a military strike.
Russia is one of Assad’s biggest arms suppliers. It opposes any military intervention in Syria and has shielded Damascus against further sanctions at the U.N. Security Council.
Defense experts said the deployment of the two warships identified by Interfax could give Assad early warning of cruise missile launches, particularly by submarine, or jam radars or navigation systems although they might never be used for this.
“What we may be seeing here is an example of gunboat diplomacy rather than a deliberate attempt to interfere directly in any coalition strike militarily,” said Lee Willett, editor of IHS Jane’s Navy International.
“The simple presence of any ships will have an impact politically, and that is the primary intent.”
Russia’s chief of staff said in June the navy had stationed 16 warships and three ship-based helicopters in the Mediterranean, its first permanent naval deployment there since Soviet times.

The United States and the West, which include United Kingdom have been supporting the Free Syrian Army rebels right from the start. Now, it seems that they would be irectly arm in their quest to topple President Bashar Al-Assad.
Wahington Post report:

Free Syrian Army likely to get US arms: Who is this rebel group?

The Free Syrian Army’s extremism ties and loose command are alarming since it may receive arms from the United States. Photo: Associated Press
Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - EMEA Watch by Tiffany Shorter
NEW YORK, June 25, 2013 — The Free Syrian Army (FSA), which received nonlethal US support in the past, may soon get American arms to help oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from office.
Last Friday, the FSA confirmed it received a shipment of weapons after reports that Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, sent arms to rebels last week. In late May, Senator John McCain visited FSA leaders to gain a better understanding of the situation on the ground. These events signal that the FSA may be armed in the future by the White House, but its loose command structure, implementation of Sharia law and extremist fighters on the ground are causes for concern.


The White House has provided no details on which opposition groups will receive military assistance from the United States. General Salem Idriss is the head of the FSA’s representative leadership body, the Syrian Military Command (SMC), and says he is waiting to hear from Washington.
The FSA is a network of independent local grassroots militias under the SMC. Instead of the SMC acting as a management unit, it serves the FSA as a tactical coordinator to plan operations and pool resources. General Salim Idriss is left with playing a role of a consensus figure, which does not align with the ultimate goal of the SMC becoming Syria’s new official military.
The decentralized model of the FSA has allowed the organization to grow across Syria. During the beginning of the civil war, individuals with arms had the freedom of calling themselves FSA fighters, which advanced the movement to overthrow Assad. Although most FSA fighters are former soldiers of Assad and not civilians, the structure of an independent network of militias no longer forwards the goals of the rebels who need greater creditability to receive foreign weapons assistance and become a legitimate military force. Unlike a militia, an effective military organization needs a strong centralized chain of command.
The SMC was created by FSA commanders in response to the need of a unified front in December 2012. Rebels envision that the SMC will become the defense arm of the National Coalition of the Revolution and Opposition Forces (Syrian Coalition) who is positioning itself to replace the Assad government. The Syrian Coalition is officially recognized by the United States as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. This acknowledgement should not be confused with America expressing that the Syrian Coalition is the present government of Syria.


In some parts of Syria, FSA forces are accused of having the same lack of moral depth or respect for humanity as Assad. In Homs, rebel forces retaliated against attacks committed by Shabiha, a pro-Assad civilian militia, by torturing and murdering Shabiha suspects and their family members. In Aleppo, Syria’s industrial and financial capital, the FSA established a Sharia legal system – a strict Islamic moral and religious code of conduct. Veteran activist, Wael Ibrahim, in March committed a Sharia violation when he threw aside a banner that contained a Muslim declaration of faith. In accordance to Sharia law, Ibrahim was sentenced to 10 lashes with a metal pipe.
The FSA also admits that within its ranks are jihadist militants and some fighters with ties to al-Qaeda. One of the SMC’s goals is to reduce extremism by: urging the FSA to uphold the Geneva Conventions; imposing that commanders abide by the age requirements on new recruits; and cutting off groups from military and nonlethal assistance who break SMC’s rules.
According to the Congressional Research Service report titled “Armed Conflict in Syria: U.S. and International Response”, General Idriss does not have operational control over all of SMC affiliated units. The report also claims, “Within the Syrian opposition, he is considered more of a political figure than a respected military commander.” The loyalty of the commanders and rebel groups is secured by Idriss because he regularly requests for outside assistance for materials and funding.
The report was issued on June 14, the day after Washington promised to arm the insurgency.
Idriss is a former general of the Assad regime, he has the experience and capability to develop the military hierarchy needed to fuse the FSA into a cohesive body that follows SMC’s authority. Given the reports that the CIA has been secretly training rebels, the White House may want to provide strategic leadership training to the SMC. Weapons assistance alone will not ensure peace and democracy in Syria’s future. The more involved Washington gets in Syria, the greater responsibility America will have to guide the SMC into becoming a stronger, but more religiously moderate organization.

It is evidently that the Free Syiran Army rebels are losing. The Neo Con Jewish agenda of staging an uprising against Al-Assad via the regional ‘Arab Spring’ almost three years ago  failed. The civil war also failed and now the rebels are waning.
The Neo Con Jewish lobbyists within the corridors of Washington D. C. and Westminster and their agenda out to destroy President Al Assad’s government has not progressed. In fact, the initiative is actually dying.
Along with Iran, these are the last two Hamas’ supporting nations which are direct threats to the Zionist Israelis.
Obama’s excuse that the attack is for the pursuit against the fight of international terrorism. A criminal attack against Syrian Forces is by far a state’s tactical act of international terrorism where it is actually US Forces’s national as a country which is committing the heinous act against humanity.
He also attacked the UN Security Council as being “Paralysed”. Then again this is not US’s first unilateral attack and criminal use of deadly force. not sanctioned by the UN. in October 1983, US Navy and Marines attacked and invaded Grenada. In December 1989, Panama. In August 1998, it was against Afghanistan and Sudan.
In 2002, Bush committed US Forces invasion of Afghanistan. In March 2003, US Forces and invaded Iraq.
The more recent criminal use of deadly military force was the attack against Libya. The attack on Libyan Forces saw the toppling of Muammar Ghaddafi’s regime. Since 2002, US forces have used drones and cruise missiles to bomb facilities in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
All in the excuse of “War against tyranny and state sponsored international terrorism”.
The terrible inconsistency is that in the past it was the Americans who vetoed against UN Security Council’s resolution against Israel for atrocities they have committed against the Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and South Lebanese. Mor eoften then not, against unarmed and non combatant and civilian population.
This unilateral criminal attack against Syria would just defer any initiative for the West Asian peace process between the Zionist Isarelis, Palestinians and immediate neighbours taken a few steps backwards. It is actually what the Neo Con Jews wanted, to allow more room and time for making the hand over of land occupied by the Zionists after the June 1967 war unattainable. - bigdogdotcom
