Syrian Chemical Weapons Kill Or Maim a 1000

[sadaist]

It is time to sit this out.

This.

If I was Al Qaeda, I would definitely be interested in staging a nerve gas attack on the Syrian people and casting blame on Assad. They would benefit the most from this turn of events, in my opinion. Oh and also the US military industrial complex.

And just in case anybody doubted that this was a Likud/PNAC operation.....

....look what the treasonous piece of shit William Kristol published in his own Weakly Standard......

Dear Mr. President:

Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has once again violated your red line, using chemical weapons to kill as many as 1,400 people in the suburbs of Damascus. You have said that large-scale use of chemical weapons in Syria would implicate “core national interests,” including “making sure that weapons of mass destruction are not proliferating, as well as needing to protect our allies [and] our bases in the region.” The world—including Iran, North Korea, and other potential aggressors who seek or possess weapons of mass of destruction—is now watching to see how you respond.

We urge you to respond decisively by imposing meaningful consequences on the Assad regime. At a minimum, the United States, along with willing allies and partners, should use standoff weapons and airpower to target the Syrian dictatorship’s military units that were involved in the recent large-scale use of chemical weapons. It should also provide vetted moderate elements of Syria’s armed opposition with the military support required to identify and strike regime units armed with chemical weapons.

Moreover, the United States and other willing nations should consider direct military strikes against the pillars of the Assad regime. The objectives should be not only to ensure that Assad’s chemical weapons no longer threaten America, our allies in the region or the Syrian people, but also to deter or destroy the Assad regime’s airpower and other conventional military means of committing atrocities against civilian non-combatants. At the same time, the United States should accelerate efforts to vet, train, and arm moderate elements of Syria’s armed opposition, with the goal of empowering them to prevail against both the Assad regime and the growing presence of Al Qaeda-affiliated and other extremist rebel factions in the country.

Left unanswered, the Assad regime’s mounting attacks with chemical weapons will show the world that America’s red lines are only empty threats. It is a dangerous and destabilizing message that will surely come to haunt us—one that will certainly embolden Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons capability despite your repeated warnings that doing so is unacceptable. It is therefore time for the United States to take meaningful and decisive actions to stem the Assad regime’s relentless aggression, and help shape and influence the foundations for the post-Assad Syria that you have said is inevitable.

Ammar Abdulhamid

Y'all remember which fascist terrorist war criminal organization was famous for publishing letters like that, and what they eventually led up to, right??

[FORD]

War.... what is it good for? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING!!

I just heard they have chatter of Syrian forces talking about conducting the attacks. Also, the scope and scale of the attacks show that it had to have been done by a trained army with doctrine for use of chemical weapons: i.e. launching chems in the morning where the weather would not mitigate the chemicals as quickly...

[ashstralia]

Oh dear...
This could be the big one.

BecKKK's got it all figured out - It's a Librul conspiracy to bring on world peace !!

Ambassador L. Paul Bremer has a fucking nerve advising anyone about anything.

He should probably be in jail.

Every last goddamned one of those treasonous fucks should be in jail

Certainly deserve it far more than Bradley Chelsea Manning.
