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.
Putin’s version of Duck Dynasty? Up in the sky... It’s a plane ! It’s a bird! It’s A-Fluck-Drone!
Syrian Army continues the Military Operations in Damascus
This tunnel of the terrorists has a length of impressive 400 metres and was used as hideout, depot, as transfer route for the transfer of weapons, and as sleeping place by and for the armed terrorists. In addition, according to a source, several monitors and camera monitoring equipment were found in this tunnel as already in previous tunnels of these terrorists.
There are also some news about the strategically important city of Aleppo (Halab) in northern Syria, near the Syrian border to Turkey. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their mop-up operations against the terrorists and Al Qaeda-linked groups in the countryside of Aleppo. These operations by the units of the Syrian army had the result of several destroyed cars that were loaded with ammunition and arms. According to SANA, the cares were coming from Turkey.
....”Now that they’ve been used, the option to sit and watch is off the table. It sucks”.....
Not true....we did nothing in the two chemical attacks prior to this one Syria....nor did we do anything when Saddam took out the Kurds.....
This is all about Obama saving face for the red line he stupidly drew....and the fact he thinks neutralizing Syria will curtail the Iran threat....also stupid thinking...This is all part of a long-range US strategy to isolate Iran...
..... but once Iran is isolated, we’ll be facing Russia and China, not Iran.
What is the difference between thousands who have been killed by bombs and gunfire....and 300 killed by chemical weapons?
The idea we’re entering this because of chemical weapons is deceptive.....
“Assad has nothing to gain by gasing his own people.”
Especially if he is winning big! Assad defeated the bastards on the cost and was mopping up when the MB needed a lifeline; their OWN Air Force, aka, the USAF!

Learn to profit off of the flipping obvious world events....
Absolutely...
The U.S. Government has become corrupt to the core, they looted the American treasure with their decades long compassionate wars, devalued our currency, borrowed trillions from Communist, all while aiding and abetting open lawless violent borders as millions enter our country illegally...
And I'm supposed to be concerned with medieval religious fanatics in the Mideast? Bullsh*t.
If your home is on fire and being looted, are you going to play cop and run across town to stop some neighbors beating the sh*t out of each other?
What a sad farce.
“.....”if it were to be put to a vote - would almost certainly be vetoed by Russia and China, which have blocked past attempts to sanction President Bashar Assad’s regime.”....
It won’t matter anyway...they can always go thru NATO...and even without...as they did in Libya...there are no guidelines or rules for Obama...this we know.
“Alwaite minority is hanging on until the bitter end with the tenacity of true believer Nazi fascists. They have every motivation to fight to the death. If they go down, you can guarantee we’ll see the Al Queda co-opted Sunni majority killing Alawites like the Hutus killed the Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. The Maronite Christians weil be swept away along with them.”...Pat Buchanon
I agree.
....”This development convinces me even more that assad did not do this. They are setting up the news stories to conform to what the regime is saying, and doing the same in Britain.”....
Stunning deception they are all playing.....meanwhile people die and no skin off their noses it is so no matter what country is at war.
We are seeing the NWO Agenda being revealed bit by bit and how dastardly they are at achieving their desired end.
Because of the international law thing, that we signed on to. Personally, I think we should just end this whole thing pretty quickly.
I know Obama is only doing this for nefarious reasons. The only reason it got this far is 0 has been arming the rebels. At this point, there’s no way to win.
I think the world is fast becoming so volatile, and the people fed up with all the wars and threats of war...they will seek a ‘Hero’ to save the day....especially the Muslims country's who are fast tiring of getting soaked in their own blood.
RT:
17:37 GMT: Syrian Ambassador to the UN Bashar Jaafari said he had requested UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that the UN team investigating an alleged use of chemical weapons to also investigate “three more locations where the Syrian soldiers inhaled the nerve gas” last week on the outskirts of Damascus.
Jaafari also accused the US, the UK and France of undermining the UN investigation, as well as of arming the insurgents, who are attempting to topple the Syrian President Bashar Assad.
“They are behind arming and supplying the armed terrorists groups with all kind of logistical support, as well as with weapons,” Jaafari said, adding that the current “threat of using force… has only one goal – undermining the mission of the investigation team.”
The Syrian government “is against the use of chemical weapons by all means,” the envoy stressed, calling the attacks “a moral obscenity” and saying that Syria wants “those who committed this crime to be held accountable.”
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
They missed ‘Muslim Brotherhood” which should be at the top of the whole sha-bang....as long as ASSAD goes down they really don’t care who takes him down....they are prepared to take control of the Government.
The Sunni Shite issue is always played in the circus....that’s how they get people to fight...but be assured the Muslim Brotherhood knows well how to set them up...they’ve had years of practice at playing both sides against the other.
Cracked me right up! Rotflol!
Fox backs Obama. Simple as that. They’ll support Obama going to war if they can get gay marriages and free abortions.
