Syria conflict: 'Chemical attacks kill hundreds'

[Skybird]

It could also just be a brilliant counter by Syria to force the Americans to put a foot on the break and win time. I do not believe one second that Kerry has planned this.

Actully its Kerry that came up with the idea that if Syria destroys its chemical arsenal the military intervention may be avoided.
This looks like russian follow up.

he meant it as a quick replying to a journalist's question, and it was said afterwards that it was not considered to be a serious option, that it was not expected.

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.

Yes but actions usually speak louder than words.

Certainly the best possible outcome of this mess, if true. Where there are no chemical weapons, they cannot fall into the hands of Hezbollah and Muslim terrorists.

If there is nothing wrong with chemical weapons there is nothing wrong with terrorists having them.
It makes no difference if they kill with chemicals or kill with machetes apparently, plus of course as there should be no rules of war they cannot even be terrorists in the first place.

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. In this case they're being used as a weapon of terror.

The fact is most nations that have chemical and nukes would use them if it came to their survival, including the USA.

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.

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.
