"If approaching our coasts, the French nuclear aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' will be directly targeted" (Syrian General)
The Syrian General Mohammad Issa, one of the top commanders of the Syrian army has threatened to target France's aircraft carrier directly if he dares to approach the Syrian coast.
Interviewed by the Russian agency Sputnik, the Syrian General said: "The announcement made by France to involve the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, in military operations in Syria will force the country's army to directly target the aircraft carriers".
Focusing on French air strikes in Syria, Issa said: "These strikes target Syrian oil wells and all this is done without the approval of Damascus government, which for us means the violation of our sovereignty".
"The Western coalition has targeted so far no position or camp of Daech or other terrorist groups. Through its strikes France seeks to bomb our oil wells as revenge against Damascus who did not give to France any oil concessions", insisted the Syrian General Mohammad Issa."

What is the life expectancy of a Syrian General?
Iran, Al Qaeda, Russia, China, now France.
Gosh, I WONDER if this sounds like its shaping up to pose a chance of WW3, eh....?
HMMMMM...!!
Good one to stay the hell out of...
Fifty-two years, generally speaking.
France may not have a large military, but they have really large nuclear weapons, and they were exhaustively tested in the 60’s.
bookmark for later.
Backed by the Russian military, a lot longer than before it.
so does russia. and pakistan. and india.
these things tend to take on a life of their own once started
well, boots on the ground in Syria weren’t the route to go then.
neither is sending supplies to the “rebels”.
And i’m sure a no fly zone is on obummer’s mind to protect his people
Opposing Assad is the same as supporting isis, because that’s who will fill the power vacuum if he’s gone. I don’t understand why all the major powers arnt United against isis.
I’m sure Putin would tell president fart face where he can stick his no fly zone.
We know they work because if they didn't, we wouldn't have Godzilla.
This is France we’re talking about.
Depends on whether he marries into the Assad family, or follows an Assad dictator’s orders during an invasion of Israel then has to take the fall for the failure.
Before the deGualle can approach Syria it first has to not break down....
Not really. Tugs can be leased to tow it to wherever it needs to be. The tugs will also boost the number of vessels in the task force.
I know where you're going with that -- at least we don't have archdukes any more.
Back when the New Jersey was working for Ronnie Raygun, about 55 seconds.
Got one of old man Hafez al-Assad's cousins, bunkered up in the Bekaa Valley.
When I read that French air had attacked ISIS positions in the oil fields, I suspected what this general is saying
The French probably did not target ISIS which was gone, they targeted the oil production facilities to prevent Damascus from retaking control
Hate to say it but I suspect we do and will do the same.... Destroy the infrastructure left behind by fleeing ISIS just to impede or punish the Syrian government and making Syrian civilians suffer in the process....
Just need to read about what “NATO” did to Libya and the human rights investigation of NATO bombing the Great Manmade River Project
