Re: British Parliament votes against British military involvement in Syria

Turkish security forces found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front who were previously detained, Turkish media reports. The gas was reportedly going to be used in a bomb. ...

Did they inform John Kerry? He keeps spewing malarkey to the contrary.

Re: British Parliament votes against British military involvement in Syria

Don't ask for proof, only the headlines are sufficient for those wanting to believe it wasn't the Syria military.

I'm sure there will be more to follow. If I had the American military threatening to blow the hell out of me I'd sure want a lot of alternate theory stories appearing.

Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

http://stuff.digitalock.com/Will.I.Am-AlexOnTheSpot.mp3

Wonderful... the sectarian idiots use American behavior over oil to give themselves an excuse to settle long-standing disputes. They are overpopulated muther-f*cking bored idiots who want to fight because they don't have nintendo.

70% of the crap happening in Syria is about their ability to maintain control over sectarian violence. Busting them out will be like letting Yugoslavia go free... all they can do with their IQs the level of a hamster is revolt and break everything up.

Who the f*ck got the idea those ... hillbillies... wanted democracy. Tell me for one second how they'd enjoy joint thought while the f*ckin piece of monsterous control over their tribe smacks them to death with his club.


Anyway, what I saw was this: http://stuff.digitalock.com/The_Corries_Kismuils_Galley_v1.mp3

It will not be the first time Russia and Uncle Sam have faced down. Pitty the Syrian-Assads cought inbetween.

The President says, we shall test all satelite-guided cruise-missiles and drones against anything we thing is making chemical ...

No American flesh is drawn, and now we are going to grind you down.

http://stuff.digitalock.com/The_Corries_Cam_Ye_Oer_Frae_France.mp3


The Wall-Streeting servents of those deamons I tricked into joining my side is *seriously* never going to

The point is, Russia can't complain because we developed Cold War technology when she was Soviet, and now we are going to excercise satelite technology against Syria until she gets he sectarian pricks do something like form popes for each sectation.

I cannot belive the shame these sectatrians are doing, except I bet it has something to do with how I am going to kill Lufer.

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

Personally I think Obama going to Congress is the only thing he could do and his best play. Congress votes no to Syria then it's their fault this "humanitarian crisis" is continuing. They vote yes and things go to hell for the US, well the blame is on Congress.

Personally I'm of the opinion that the whole region can burn. Tired of their BS, tired of their killing, tired of, well, all of it. They don't give two hoots about anything, why should the rest of the world. If the Syrians take it beyond their borders, then maybe the world should look at stepping in but until then, it's an internal Civil War, gas or not. Let them solve their own problems.

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

Obama can't loose this one. The right will vote against military action simply because Obama proposed it. It will be very hard for them to later demand that the US interfere.

The tea bagger caucus will still do their usual...

Re: British Parliament votes against British military involvement in Syria

yeah like marching into the Indian subcontinent and killing millions of people constitutes morality

A lot of those people got what they deserved.

Anyway, now that that's sorted, back to the topic in hand.

It was saying on the news today that if more evidence emerges of the Syrian Government's use of chemical weapons against its own civilians then there may be another vote in the British Parliament on whether Britain should take military action. So Britain could still take military action against the Assad regime.

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

Obama is seeking approval from Congress to act. That isnt a retreat - its following the law.




Oh sure WLDB, there you go pointing out a fact. You sure are a party pooper............



Media Cheerleads For Another War: Blasts Obama For Not Rushing Into Syria -- They repeatedly claimed that Obama’s decision to hold off on immediate military action emboldened America’s adversaries and undermined the nation’s “credibility”

Congressional Leaders Doubtful On Approval Of Military Strike Against Syria



Like I said yesterday, Obama hasn’t even made the case that Assad did it yet, let alone that we should respond, or that a response will achieve desired results and not be worse than not responding.


This is the dangerous time, when people who want there to be a strike may seek to precipitate further actions to generate it.

I would bet that you are not willing to gear up and lead the charge. Typical arm chair soldier who has no qualms about sending the young in to die for your idiotic patriotism and phony humanitarianism. I think all the pin heads who think we should go to war, should man up and go over there and put their lives where the mouths are.

We should go to war. Canada, as usual, is willing to stand by and do nothing whilst civilians are gassed and brutally murdered by their own government but Britain, unlike Canada, has a history of helping those who are the victims of oppression and evil worldwide and of standing up to dictators. And we would have gone into Syria if the disgraceful Labour Party weren't looking to score cheap party political points in the Commons on Thursday night. There's a human tragedy going on and yet numpties like you want us to ignore it.

I often think, what if the same was happening in Canada? What if the Canadian government suddenly started gassing Canadian civilians? All these Bolshevik, sandal-wearing peaceniks who are against going into Syria would be the first to go crying to the USA for military help. It'd be different when it happens to them.

As for calling me a "typical arm chair general" I'll have you know that I'm a former Royal Navy sailor, and I'd gladly join up against should my Queen and Country need me.

Re: Syria hails 'historic American retreat' as Obama hesitate

If the controlled right wing media didn't stir up as much war hysteria as it has done Congress wouldn't bother to have a discussion about it - they would immediately say NO.
Which media, other than a few internet sites and some talk radio, are right wing?


Obamacare: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna; except for you and you and you and you and congress and companies.

Syria: I'm gonna bomb, I'm gonna bomb, I'm gonna bomb; but not now.

He doesnt need it unless declaring war - which wont happen. But they can always pull the plug on funding paralyzing him. That also is not likely to happen for some reason. Congress hasnt pulled the plug on any Presidents military adventures in quite some time - even when they have opposed them. Strange the way that works.

I believe the last time congress was asked about approving a war was in '41.

Re: British Parliament votes against British military involvement in Syria

You really believe that BS!

I believe we should recognise that Syrian civilians, including children, are being maimed and killed by their own government, who are also breaking international treaties in using chemical weapons.

I believe we should take military action against the Syrian regime and put an end to it. I don't believe we should stand by and let these atrocities continue.

The only BS going around is spewed out of the mouths of those who want to stand by and do nothing to end these human rights abuses. They'd be the first asking for foreign military intervention if it happened to them in Canada.
