So we're back to a showy but ultimately harmless smack to the face of the projected winner. I just don't see that being worth the thousands of civilian casualties this could produce.
Just for the record, lets say you are right ...

Where are these chemical weapons going to wind up?

In the hands of the friends of Syria?

or in the hands of the rebel commanders?

Sooner or later (2018 is Israel's 70th anniversary of statehood)
they will be used against Israel, the common enemy of all non
Jewish settlers in the region.

have tried to find the same story in some of the English newspaper without success

In Danish and Swedish newspaper there have been lots of story about crisis between USA and Russia.

In the latest article it says that Russia is going to support Syria military and economical, if Syria is attacked.

I have always said that Iran could joint Syria with more weapons and lots of soldier. Not officials of course.

Now that I have been reading these latest article in some of the Danish and Swedish newspaper I'm not so sure anymore.

I hope that USA wait until the UN-report is at hand before they do something.

Prelude to war? I hope not ...

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Lebanon-Syria/2013/09/06/id/524213
The State Department on Friday ordered nonessential U.S. diplomats to leave Lebanon due to security concerns as the Obama administration and Congress debate military strikes on neighboring Syria.

If it ever was an internal Syrian affair, it became an international one with the support of foreign countries for one or the other party. Some did it openly, others disguised.

Today we see a proxy conflict of the US led and the Russian led supporters.
This may run hot - hotter than it is - and set the region or the world on fire.

Economic interests kill people. Money rules the world.

Not the Muslim world. And here I've just said everything I'm allowed to.


Looks like it's going to start all over like in 1938-45 : A world war whose first victim is going to be Syria, later to be followed by Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Algeria, Afghanistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, whose public purpose is to destroy evil/corrupt dictators, but whose real goal is to hide the stock market crash to come, foreseeable to insiders.

Just read The Psychology of Finance: Understanding the Behavioural Dynamics of Markets, by Lars Tvede. Way to understand what's taking place actually.

Which chemical weapons, again ?

I know there's so much hype in the western media, there HAVE to be chemical weapons, right ?
Soon Mr. Kerry will step up and show a glass tube full of 'evidence', just like Mr. Powell.

Maybe the West should just check its bills of weapons sold to Syria, i am sure they find something

Maybe denying some other oil-producing country to build a pipeline, through Syria ?

He dared to try to defeat a revolt. CWs were deployed by one or the other party, but there is only one entity entitled to deploy CWs if it seems fit.

He is close with Iran.

And iirc the Saudis are interested to run a pipeline through Syria to Europe.
