Obama coming under pressure to do something about chemical warfare been used in Syria yesterday.
He made some comment back along that the USA would not stand for anyone using Chemical weapons. Fox also throwing it out there that if this goes Unpunished that the US are soft and Iran are bound to start using Chemical weapons.
Their logic is hilarious, I actually get a kick out of Fox these days, used to wind me up, but it comic gold now.
Does the stuff we use on flies count as chemical warfare?
Typical media narrative in the states.
The rebels are aligned with “Al Queda” and Assad is using chemical weapons. The yanks don’t know what to do.
It’s amazing how ignorant the Yanks are about the people in the Middle East. I suppose you may not expect the ordinary American to realize there is a multitude if races/cultures (Sunni Muslim, Shian Muslim, Nation of Islam, Arabs, Persians, Christians etc)in the Middle East. But the fact that their media and politicians don’t know helps reinforce how much of a joke they are.
What exactly is your point here Kev?
Syria has shown America up for the utter failure of its supposed foreign policy. Attack a country like Iraq for no moral, political or ideological reason whatsoever. Purely a business decision. But stand idly by when tens of thousands are killed by Syria.Its even forced me to agree with the likes of John McCain on some points (though of course he’s only making an issue out of it as ammo against Obama. Let it go John, you lost).
Likewise the utter failure of Russia and China.
We live in a disgusting geo-political world.
