Putin should say we have reason to believe the rebels were behind this chemical weapon attack and launch his own strikes on the rebel emplacements at the same time.

What would have happen to FDR if he had ordered our Flying Tigers to attack the army of China instead of Japan’s air force and troops in China?

--

I guess he would have gotten away with it if ALL the news media of those times had lied and served up propaganda to support him, and 95% of the uni-party politicians supported him.

The media in this country are absolutely despicable.

I know it is not an easy thing to interpret this stuff Mel...I’m sorry it was painful for you. It should pain us all what they are doing to Christians there...and will do if Assad is taken down.

I didn’t know what they were saying and found it difficult to watch them extend this interrogation and draw it out as they did....Would it have been possible to just not have stopped, when they flagged them, and make a run for it?

Perhaps none of us know what we would have done in that situation...

I hate these men...I truly do...yet the world still does not seem to get what is in store for all nations peoples if these guys continue to do as we’ve seen in Egypt and Syria and the other nations where they destroy everything in their path.

Then we have such a lame brained administration and congress who really hasn’t a clue what they are contending with....it seems like a replay of Egypt...except Russia is in this and that does make a difference.

Thank you for your interpretation MEl...as rough as it was to do... we are all grateful......sometimes truth is even hard to reveal.

...”Such distribution is unofficial, thus it does not trigger a 24-hour rule for a vote after the formal introduction of a resolution to the UN Security Council, Gatilov said”....

Oh yea! Russia is playing their hand and fully engaged in this political game-manship at the UN...and I suspect lined up for Nato as well, if push comes to shove...

As said..Russia will not stand idly by...

Thanks, CW.

there’s isn’t any good reporting in these threads, only the bad and the ugly.

Iranian reporter who, in the middle of a chemical warzone finds evidence that the foreign-backed insurgency fighting the Syrian government is using chemical weapons against Syrian soldiers in Jobar.

Here's a chilling thought - just speculation on my part:

what if BOTH sides in the conflict have access to chem weapons?

Be very cautious with Aljazzera.....during the Egyptian Protests 20 of their journalists walked off permanently because of the station requiring them to fake stories and not report the facts as they discovered. Qutar owns it ....pays to know who they are supporting....known is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Right, Russia knows delays will hurt the WH. What little public support is waning.

Got news for them...I am not buying anything they are ‘selling’ if no republican congress person that I trust sees the classified version! Even then, I would worry about them being scammed. I sure as hell will not buy anything that McCain, Corker, King, Mike Rodgers, Graham and a host of other rino sell outs will push!

It would be easier to list those I still trust...because the list is much, much shorter....lol.

William Hague plays down imminence of Syria attack as UN seeks more time

Talks could take days, foreign secretary says as pressure mounts on west to let weapons inspectors finish their job

EXCERPT

Hague also said he thought it would be a mistake for military action to be delayed too long. “It’s very important not to take so long to respond that people confuse what the eventual response is about,” he said.

Yep..they do already have some, but will probably get their hands on a whole lot more when the bombing and chaos begins. There will be WMD storage sites that will probably be abandoned by Syrian soldiers....no doubt the AQ terrorists can hardly wait to steal more.

Dangerous situation. I would rather Syrian regime have control of WMDs....they have had chemical weapons for decades and never used them or given them to terrorists. All bets off soon.

Thanks Obama....you traitorous scum..
