Arab states call for international action against Syrian regime
NBC ^ | 9/1/2013 | Kristen Welker, Daniel Arkin

President Barack Obama's surprise move to seek congressional authorization before ordering any military action against the Syrian regime was met with a mixed reception around the world Sunday, with a chorus of Arab states calling for intervention — while a key Syrian government official disparaged the White House for a lack of leadership.

At an Arab League meeting in Cairo on Sunday evening, foreign ministers passed a resolution pressing the United Nations and the global community to “take the deterrent and necessary measures against the culprits of this crime that the Syrian regime bears responsibility for,” according to Reuters.

The ministers also concluded that those responsible for the lethal chemical weapons attack should face trial just like other “war criminals.”

What a steaming pantload this is. I see it as Hussein asking for favors from his fellow muslims.

Let the Arabs states expend their armies if they want it so bad.

Of course they want the US to expend their military and for them to keep their militaries intact to attack Israel.

Then let the Arab states take action and clean up their own back yard. I’ve had it with their insanity.

The “culprits of the crime” that the Syrian government is responsible for. That does not even hint that the “culprit” is Assad.

And those who are responsible should face trial. It still doesn’t mention Assad.

Typical Arab League....straddle the fence and get the US to do it’s fighting.

But Syria’s neighbors Lebanon and Iraq, as well as Algeria, all refused to sign off on the resolution, according to Reuters. Syria, moreover, is barred from the League.

Which means Saudi Arabia, while the most pro-war, will not have a route over to Syria, unless it uses ships.

So this is all just words.

Well maybe those lazy assed Saudi and Quatari’s should saddle up and go pick up a rifle. They are like the bad girlfriend who picks a fight with the Hells angels at the next table and then demands her boyfriend go do something about it.

F them. Im ready for a Saudi “Arab spring” movement.

Nothing would be better than for the Arab states to fight this themselves. That way, they can keep it inside the muslim world, and the rest of us can move on.

I’m no historian, but did any Arab countries interfere with or takes sides in the American Civil War? I don’t think so.

We, the Europeans and the Russians & Chinese have been selling them billions of dollars of arms since before World War I. Why don’t they attack Syria if they want it done?
