Chemical weapon attack in Syria.
There are many problems with the stories put out by various
governments.To start with, governments can't be trusted without
independent verification.Remember the supposed WMD that Iraq had?
The war was started on a religious pretext.The rebels are Sunni, the
majority of the population, later joined by al Qaeda, fighting the
minority Alawi, Shiite, Christian and others' government. A reverse echo
of the minority Sunnis being deposed by the Shiites in Iraq. The country
gains nothing except destruction, both sides being equally unpleasant.
It is just a matter of fighting for who has power.
Consider who gains if America can be persuaded to attack Assad.
1. The Sunni rebels and al Qaeda
2. Israel, who has long lobbied for America to attack Syria.
3. The military industrial complex, who will make millions.
Assad is ruthless and rational. He knows if he uses chemical weapons
America would probably attack him. So why would he do that? The reported
attack could have been be faked, killed far fewer than claimed, could be
a false flag operation, could have been a lower ranked military
operation without Assad's knowledge or support.
If America attacks Syria it will certainly be killing many who had no
hand in the attack and will be immediately condemned by the same people
now calling for war. Not to mention it would be against international
law without UN approval, that the US can't get.Doesn't America boast of
being a nation of laws?
Unfortunately President Obama has painted himself into a corner.He
assumed Assad would not use poison gas. Now unless he gets cast iron
proof Assad wasn't responsible, which he won't, he has to attack or be
seen as a bluffer and lose credibility.
How many lives is credibility worth?
It doesn't matter that only 9% in the US are in favor of attacking
Syria. Any attack will probably go wrong as they usually do,Then the
bloodhounds will be baying for his blood and the situation in the Middle
East will certainly become even more desperate. Also certain is that the
villains who started the conflict will get away without punishment.
