War

Kerry makes case for unilateral war with Syria.

"In an apparent declaration that the US was willing to forge ahead with military support with minimal international backing, the White House said it would be guided by "the best interests of the United States"."

That would be fine if it was in the best interests of the America people, but it's not.

"An attack could happen as soon as Saturday, when UN weapons inspectors are due to leave Syria, after their mission in the country was apparently cut short amid expectations of an attack."

That's convenient.

"According to an NBC poll, almost 80% of Americans believe Obama should get congressional authorisation before using force in Syria, while 50% were completely opposed to a military strike."

That sounds like the public has rapidly moved in favor of attack.

Members of the military resist attacking Syria.

Pakistan newspaper, no US newspapers, reports on the fears of Syrians.

Reports claim rebels used chemical weapons supplied by Saudis.

"However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.
“My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” said Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of a rebel fighting to unseat Assad, who lives in Ghouta.
Abdel-Moneim said his son and 12 other rebels were killed inside of a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.”
Ghouta townspeople said the rebels were using mosques and private houses to sleep while storing their weapons in tunnels.
Abdel-Moneim said his son and the others died during the chemical weapons attack. That same day, the militant group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is linked to al-Qaida, announced that it would similarly attack civilians in the Assad regime’s heartland of Latakia on Syria’s western coast, in purported retaliation.
“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”"

The false flag gives the warmongers their war.

"More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government. "

No surprise there.

"Although Saudi Arabia has officially maintained that it supported more moderate rebels, the newspaper reported that “funds and arms were being funneled to radicals on the side, simply to counter the influence of rival Islamists backed by Qatar.”"

Interesting factions.

"But rebels interviewed said Prince Bandar is referred to as “al-Habib” or ‘the lover’ by al-Qaida militants fighting in Syria."

Friends of the CIA.

US claims it knew about the attack three days in advance, but did nothing.

In a story about Russian forces countering US forces near Syria, Russian official describes US policy in the Middle East.

""The West handles the Islamic world the way a monkey handles a grenade," Rogozin tweeted Wednesday. "

That's good.

Even Bloomberg acknowledges that the Syrian rebels are affiliated with al Qaeda.

BBC columnist subtly scolds British Parliament for rejecting Obama's war on Syria.

"If Britain can't deliver, it will leave some in the US asking "what's so special?""

Shame on those people who didn't want to start a war. Maybe he's jealous of France, which plans to follow Obama.

This is supposedly the first time Parliament has overruled a British ruler in a drive for war since Parliament overruled King George and granted US colonists independence in 1782. This is a big deal in Britain because Parliament claimed the power to veto wars. Britain is going in the opposite direction of the US, where Congress has abdicated the power to declare war.

Al Qaeda bombing people in Iraq is bad, but al Qaeda bombing people in Syria is good.

Veterans' claims neglected in Ohio.
