observer Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Heard one the other night, which may explain the enthusiasm from the US political hawks - the Saudi's are paying the US for the cost of the strike - which I guess makes the US mercenaries?!

Davy51 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Apparently there is a newspaper article doing the rounds which alleges that Britain supplied Assad with chemical weapons several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Well, the ingrediants at least; just as the West tooled Saddam with chemicals to use against Iran - the hypocracy is nauseating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 No wonder the US, indeed world public, are confused with Obama's position: he's ranting on about 1,400 deaths caused by a chemical attack; 100s of thousands of Syrian civilians have been killed or maimed by conventional weapons to date; and his proposed shock and awe strike will just add to the total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
