Islamic State: Putin says claims Russian air strikes killed civilians are 'information warfare'

Updated 14 minutes ago

Vladimir Putin has dismissed claims that Russian air strikes have killed civilians in Syria, as his government faces criticism from the West that it bombed moderate rebel factions fighting Syria's president instead of Islamic State (IS) fighters.

Russia launched air strikes in war-torn Syria on Wednesday, its first overseas military engagement in nearly four decades, hours after the Russian parliament gave Mr Putin permission to use force abroad.

The head of Syria's main opposition group has accused Moscow of aiming to support Bashar al-Assad's regime and killing 36 civilians in the central province of Homs.

"When it comes to media reports regarding the suffering of the civilian population, we are ready for this information warfare," Mr Putin said.

King Obama has caused world war III to begin. America will suffer tremendously. All hail the rotten King of America. He is importing hundreds of thousands of military age Muslims into America who will be the beginning of America's war in the streets.

No, that would be American ally Pakistan that was helping Iran build nuclear weapons capabilities for years.

Here, do some reading: http://iis-db.stanford.edu/evnts/3889/Khan_network-paper.pdf

“The exposure in early 2004 of the nuclear trading net
work of Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani metallurgist who headed the Khan Research Laboratories and is revered in his country as the father of the Pakistani bomb, marked the public acknowledgement that a new era has begun in
the history of nuclear proliferation.”

Not that the design will really work if and when they try to use them....:-)

Putin is not dumb and knows those nukes could someday target his country

We are now the emasculated limp wrist bastion of liberal hope.... Obama’s screw up in the ME proves one thing.... George W. Bush was right....Let me clarify... “ In the 20th century, some chose to appease murderous dictators, whose threats were allowed to grow into genocide and global war. In this century, when evil men plot chemical, biological and nuclear terror, a policy of appeasement could bring destruction of a kind never before seen on this earth.”

No, the Pakistani bomb was a SUNNI bomb. That is why the Shi’ite Iran wants/needs their own.

No, Obammy is supporting the Muslim kind of freedom -- freedom to beat your wife, rape boys, and squeeze taxes out of any non-muslim folks.

You may privately believe this, but publically posting it is not acceptable

That’s the “gray fallacy”, the idea that if one party says one thing, and the other a different thing, the the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

As we all know, Pakistan is an American ally, not a Russian one.....

A.Q. Khan boasts of helping Iran’s nuclear programme

A.Q. Khan, the nuclear scientist renowned as the architect of Pakistan’s atomic weapons programme bomb, has boasted of how he helped Iran to develop its own capability to “neutralise” Israel’s power in the Middle East

By Dean Nelson, South Asia Editor

10:22PM BST 10 Sep 2009

He also claimed he had acted with his government’s permission.

While Khan’s activities are well known in the West, his first major interview after five years of house arrest amounted to a public challenge to Pakistan’s military establishment and an act of revenge against the country’s former president, Pervez Musharraf, who branded him a dangerous maverick.

They will also cause fresh embarrassment to Islamabad which has been under intense pressure from Washington to allow Mr Khan to be questioned over allegations that he also sold nuclear technology to Libya and North Korea.
