Syria Conflict & Sarin Gas

[Viva 3,169]

I think everyone by now knows what is happening and had happened in Syria. Over a thousand of people, maybe more according to some news, were killed by wat seems to be a attack using Sarin Gas.

 

The videos below contain GRAPHIC and very UNPLEASENT IMAGES. Things like this makes me wanna wakeup as a dog or a dolphin such is the shame I feel of being part of the human race.

The US has issued the strongest signal yet that it intends to take military action against Syria, as secretary of state John Kerry said it was "undeniable" that chemical weapons had been used in the country and vowed to respond.

In a powerful statement on Monday that gave every impression that the White House is moving towards some form of armed intervention, Kerry said

 

President Bashar al-Assad's forces had committed a "moral obscenity" against his own people.

"Make no mistake," Kerry said. "President Obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapon against the world's most vulnerable people. Nothing today is more serious, and nothing is receiving more serious scrutiny".

The White House immediately echoed Kerry's comments, and said it would release an intelligence assessment about the use of chemical weapons in the coming days.

Assad, Syria's "democratic"elected president, says he didn't use Sarin.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has dismissed Western allegations that he used chemical weapons as politically motivated and warned Washington that any US military intervention would fail in an interview published in a Russian newspaper on Monday.

"Failure awaits the United States as in all previous wars it has unleashed, starting with Vietnam and up to the present day," he told the Izvestia daily when asked what would happen if Washington decided to strike or invade Syria.

Assad said Syrian government forces had been close to where rebel forces say chemical weapons were used last week during the country's more than two-year-old civil war.

"Would any state use chemical or any other weapons of mass destruction in a place where its own forces are concentrated? That would go against elementary logic," Assad told Izvestia, a pro-Kremlin newspaper.

Russia has been Assad's most important international ally throughout the civil war, supplying his troops with arms and resisting pressure at the United Nations for tighter sanctions on Damascus.

Fun Facts:

 

- US Government with support of several other heads in chief , like David Cameron wanted to drestroy all documents off mass surveilance that Snowden leaked. WAN-IFRA (World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers). Basically Cameron tried to destroy, effective did destroy part of the documents but obv not all, of public interest and prohibiting British newspapaers, print, video and digital, to publish any info reguard the subject. In other words US government is not only spying but also threatning over terrorist act journalists and media communications in general that get involved in it. The timming makes you wonder also the fact that besides the videos posted by locals the source of news is basically CNN.

 

It described as "outrageous and deeply disturbing" the detention of David Miranda, the partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, at Heathrow airport under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

 

Brazilian Government issued a letter to Brits Gov because under our legislation you call the terrorist act over the press is a terrorist act itself. (David Miranda is Brazilian)

- Near Iraq and Israel , Syria is in a strategic position, militarily speaking, for the U.S.

- In 2009 Israel attacked Gaza with white phosphorus (similar effects) . Anyone said they would invade Israel?

- U.S. used napalm in Vietnam (which Mr. Kerry participated). Unnecessary to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

- Brazil was the country that NSA liked the most. They were particularly interested in the Amazon resources, Petrobras (OIL / Natural Gás/ ), Globo INC (News/Midia), ABRIL (print media), Vale do Rio Doce (Mineral/steel), Army forces and national intelligence. Funny how they want to burn the information, punish who gives Snowden a new home yet refuse to answer or provide any logical explanation to such actions against so many countries.  But hey why not bomb Syria right?
