As the war drums for Syria get louder, let this thread serve as a repository for news, background, Tweets, photos, video, on-the-ground reports, etc., as was done recently with Egypt.

I still have a vivid memory of CNN’s first hand accounts of the opening attack on Iraq in Gulf War 1. It was compelling.

Just listening to McCain talk with Greta....he was tripping all over his tongue as usual. All jittery as well as Greta fired the questions.

He said any thing being reported that the US has been arming terrorists is a lie......blah.blah.blah.

Doesn’t this Congress and it’s members realize the people are fed up with their lies...they’ve danced to their own music for so long that can’t tell the band isn’t playing with them anymore.

There are thousands of various deadly chemicals that can be used and produce the results seen in the people in Syria.....even idustrial chemicals can cause this...one chemical expert didn’t think it was Sarin ...and that it cannot be determined unless tested on the ground.

The fact is something deadly was used to attack with in Syria....and both sides have access to them...

They were caught representing our soldiers in a very unfavorable light..and falsely..therefore kicked out from reporting.

Same in Egypt...and they usually do get kicked out.

Seriously, he sounded desperate and bordering on panic to sell his BS. He was almost begging.

On June 30, 2013 The UN met with The Action Group for Syria to discuss a transitional Gov’t in Syria - to include the opposition (rebel). I had not heard about this:

http://www.un.org/News/dh/infocus/Syria/FinalCommuniqueActionGroupforSyria.pdf

Then today, the UN discussed it again:

“Issued after a meeting of the Action Group for Syria, the document lays out key steps in a process to end the violence. Among others, it calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, with full executive powers and made up by members of the present Government and the opposition and other groups, as part of agreed principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led political transition.”

Copts in Egypt being turned away at our embassy.... ~ Vanity

Posted on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 6:01:31 PM by GraceG

Just heard on the blaze on Glenn Beck’s TV show from a Coptic Priest who keeps in contact with the Coptic Pope in Egypt, the US embassies are turning away Copts.

Sounds a hell of a LOT like when FDR was turning away Jewish refugees from Europe.

Wow, thx for the update.

The MB said to not strike Syria - as they don’t want it to turn into another Iraq or Afgh. (He’ll probably listen to them, not congress or the UN - seriously)

http://jordantimes.com/muslim-brotherhood-denounces-syria-strike

“n its statement, the Islamist movement voiced rejection of any military intervention in Syria “regardless of its merits and justifications”.

“The coalition that is preparing for a military strike against Syria is not acting in the interests of the Syrian people; it is first and foremost serving American and Zionist interests,” the statement said.

“We have already seen the US wage war against Islam and destroy Iraq and Afghanistan; we do not want to see it happen in Syria,” he told The Jordan Times in a phone interview.”

The article is dated....16 August 2013 – less then 2 weeks ago....I wouldn’t call it old by any means...the current crisis has been going on for some time...

“Thousands of Syrians fleeing the conflict in their homeland have streamed into northern Iraq in a sudden movement across a recently constructed bridge, the United Nations refugee agency reported today.”
