Syria conflict: 'Chemical attacks kill hundreds'

You're being silly, I think all agree chemical weapons are wrong, because they're a weapon of terror and weapons of mass random killing

Most people may agree, but the views on warfare are those of the person I quoted.
To go further his criticism of Japan is absolute bollox, according to his standards the Japanese never did anything wrong in regards to war crimes, and as for the mass rapes, well when it comes to rape women simply ask for it don't they.
So you are correct that the views are silly, but they are not my views, they are views expressed by skybird.

This looks like russian follow up.

Brilliant return by the Russians and Syrians, effectively trapping Kerry on his own careless words. Now it is even more difficult for Obama to convince congress.

I believe it when I see it. And I think I need to be very patient.

From a chessplayers POV, Obama has been pushed into the defensive again. He wanted to reclaim action, instead he now needs to react again. Press conference planned for today has been moved back in a haste.

Might be that it was not considered as serious agreeable option but i don't think it came from thin air in the hit of the moment.
If it came up it was most likely considered this way or the other.

Russians are usually pretty good at chess.

[Jimbuna]

Yes but actions usually speak louder than words.

Ok, I agree, Skybird is silly...

My point is this isn't to be compared to the Japanese. I was sickened when Obama compared it to UK in WW2, really trying to make himself out to be as smart as FDR.

This is a civil war, it's terrible, but not our problem. Right now I see no better alternative than Assad. Honestly, it would be better if he won out, unless we want to see the nation go through years of CW until nothing is left and someone starts over. Arab Spring is nothing but a radical movement using democracy to gain control.

Frankly, the entire area could go to waste and I wouldn't care. They have lived in the religious dark ages since time.

Obama not a chess player.
He's more of a hopscotch kind of guy.

He may just let the dog off the leash anyway to continue his support for the MB.

The destabilization party is still on for any country that doesn't abide by the IMF banksters rules.

Lol, that's for sure. He's being schooled the Russians, EU, Congress, Amurican people--everyone right now.

Here's Glenn Beck on Syria, Oil and Money:

this is a war for oil, and here’s how

And John Kerry with "unbelievably small" remarks about Syria:

Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday said a U.S. military strike on Syria would be “limited” and “unbelievably small,” words that must have struck fear in the heart of Syrian President Bashar Assad

Of course the playing field has changed somewhat since then.

Here's 14 reactions to that comment:

Beck either insane or great entertainer.
His crap makes him lots of money.
Maybe just both lol

More porn please.

Taken with a grain of salt and the expected biased opinions of such journalists he has a point.
Explains why the Russians have such an interest in Syria. like they couldn't pay the rebels to allow them to use that naval base just like they do Assad. It's a lot more than just abot a naval base

[Jimbuna]

It looks like Obama has painted himself into a corner in the eyes of the world and what worries me is what he might do to get himself out of that corner.

I shook a magic ball and it says there will be no war in Syria, just US naval drills nearby

He did that from the outset.

Very strange indeed.

Left himself with no room to move. Seemed almost deliberate.
