Do warmongers dream of playing chess? By Pepe Escobar
10 September 2013 — Asia Times Online
The frantic spin of the millisecond is that the White House is taking a “hard look” at the Russian proposal for Bashar al-Assad to place Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal under UN control, thus defusing (or at least postponing) yet another US war in the Middle East.
‘War on chemical weapons’: Obama traps himself into Syrian combat By Pepe Escobar
29 August 2013 — RT
Only a few days before the 12th anniversary of 9/11, Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama might be fighting side by side with… al-Qaeda, as he was foolish enough to be trapped by his own rhetoric on Syria.
New York Times Puts Launch Point of Chem Weapons Rockets Inside Rebel Contested Area By Scott Creighton
28 August 2013 — American Everyman
The New York Times is attempting to bolster John Kerry’s baseless claim that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on their own people and in doing so, they seem to have provided some hard evidence to the contrary. Continue reading
Syria gas attack story has whiff of Saudi war propaganda By William Engdahl
21 August 2013 — RT
The reports of massive chemical attacks in Syria might become the “red line” for the US for active military intervention. But even rudimentary analysis of the story shows it is too early to believe its credibility.
Sarin gas is as volatile as Washington’s promises by Thierry Meyssan
16 June 2013 — Voltaire Network
Did Syria or did she not use sarin gas against its armed opposition? After haunting newspaper columns, the question found a positive answer in Paris, London and Washington. The red line has apparently been crossed. War may therefore be imminent. In reality, this media game comes too late. In terms of international law, Syria is not a signatory to the chemical weapons Convention and may use them freely. Moreover, inventing that Damascus has used weapons of mass destruction is a perfectly futile ploy, considering that the war is nearing an end.

June 14, 2013 — NeelamTv
CIA whistle blower Edward Snowden has reportedly been stopped from flying to the UK. The man who lifted the lid on America’s secret surveillance activities is being pursued by Washington.

US Chemical Weapons Report on Syria ‘Cooked’ – Russian MP

How damn convenient Syria Has Used Chemical Weapons

How damn convenient!
Syria Has Used Chemical Weapons Against Rebels, U.S. and European Officials Conclude
American and European intelligence analysts now believe that President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have used chemical weapons against rebel forces in the civil war in Syria, an assessment that will put added pressure on a deeply divided Obama administration to develop a response to a provocation that the president himself has declared a “red line.”
So says the NYT quoting an ‘internal memorandum’. And just as the ‘rebels’ got a bloody nose and it looks like the Syrian govt might be turning the corner. It’s Saddam’s phony bloody WMD all over again!
But will we learn? And more importantly, will our propagandized population stop this madness? I’m doubtful. So another country destroyed in the Empire’s orgy of destruction.
Shame on us for doing nothing to stop the barbarians!

Invasion of Syria: Obama and U.S. Military Divided over Action? By Shamus Cooke
29 April 2013 — Global Research
Has Syria crossed the “red line” that warrants a U.S. military invasion? Has it not? The political establishment in the United States seems at odds over itself. Obama’s government cannot speak with one voice on the issue, and the U.S. media is likewise spewing from both sides of its mouth in an attempt to reconcile U.S. foreign policy with that most stubborn of annoyances, truth.

25 April, 2013 — Global Research
