The mess in Syria

[weso1]

I partially made this thread for sturg, but I actually had a conspiracy thought about this whole chemical gas thing.

Assad get let out of prison and then maybe a couple of days later this chemical attack occurs. It just seems like interesting timing here. I don't get the benefit from Assad's point of view of gassing the rebels. Assad has to have a little bit of sense. He has to know that US, France, etc. will probably get involved now. Either someone else wants the US to get involved here, Assad wants the US to get involved or there is just no control over the situation at all right now from anyone.

US cannot go into Syria alone. This is either a total world effort or none at all. We do not need another Iraq.

[sturg33]

We are going to Syria because they are threatening to break away from the dollar in oil trading. Much like we do in all of our wars.

This will likely start a world war. US, France, and Britan are all lining up against Russia, China, Syria, and Iran. It is going to be a mess.

We can take care of Syria but do it the American way. Kick ass and leave. We're not the Chinese, Brits, or Russians, we don't have an occupying army. We're a run in mess everyone's **** up and they pay us back for recovery. If we kicked Syria's ass they acted up again and we kicked their ass again, eventually they'll learn their lesson.

No thanks. YOu can't just destabilize a country and leave. Either the world commits to fixing it or just stay out.

It's what America does best. Is it in the best human love story fashion? No but it's what we do best, kick ass and take names.

This word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Fine. This could start a world war.

China will not start a war with the US they have too much riding on western money. If they go to war with us it will ruin them financially.

China will crumble eventually.

China will crumble eventually.

At some point yes, because their people will revolt, but until then they're sitting pretty because their government essentially manipulates both it's people and their currency to make China the most attractive place to manufacture goods.

[Julio3000]

China will crumble eventually.

You'd be amazed at how long ceramics will last.

Yahoo Article from 1/31/2013 states "US 'backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria, blame it on Assad govt'"

http://in.news.yahoo.com/us-backed-p...045648224.html

London, Jan 30 (ANI): The Obama administration gave green signal to a chemical weapons attack plan in Syria that could be blamed on President Bashar al Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country, leaked documents have shown.

A new report, that contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence, showed a scheme 'approved by Washington'.

As per the scheme 'Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons,' the Daily Mail reports.

Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria using chemical weapons against its own people.

According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam's Business Development Director David Goulding to company founder Philip Doughty.

The emails were released by a Malaysian hacker who also obtained senior executives resumes and copies of passports via an unprotected company server, according to Cyber War News.

According to the paper, the U.S. State Department has declined to comment on the matter.

I hope nobody in White House would give green signal to such a harebrained scheme.

Don't underestimate the potential of Bo as the evil mastermind behind this whole thing. Although he prefers that you call it a furbrained scheme... or maybe that should be a dogbrained scheme now that I think about it. But either way what a son of a bitch.

If the U.S. does go to war with Syria, will the Democrats finally admit that Obama is just Bush's third and fourth term? Seriously, dude is doing everything he can to advance the Bush agenda, it sucks.

I think it's already proven it doesn't matter what party we elect, they all have similar overall goals - extend government power and become more wealthy. There is a company line in Washington and the POTUS isn't exempt from it. Sure, they differ on some things, but they are basically the same at the core. Until we somehow get a 3rd party candidate in there that will attemot (and likely fail) to totally turn things, it won't matter.

I don't believe we have as much choice and power as people as politicians like to say. Something drastic will need to happen in the next 30-40 years.

Nobody else thinks it's odd that this was written about in January and it has played out exactly so?

[CK86]

The problem with the article is simply because of the source - infowars. It's hard to take anything sourced by them seriously.

So basically we're going to be fighting on Al Qaeda's side on this. Cool....
