SYRIA: Another Western WAR CRIME In The Making

[Segami]

UPDATE:

The war criminals in Washington and other Western capitals are determined to maintain their lie that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Having failed in efforts to intimidate the UN chemical inspectors in Syria, Washington has demanded that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon withdraw the chemical weapons inspectors before they can assess the evidence and make their report. The UN Secretary General stood up to the Washington war criminals and rejected their demand. The US and UK governments have revealed none of the "conclusive evidence" they claim to have that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Listening to their voices, observing their body language, and looking into their eyes, it is completely obvious that John Kerry and his British and German puppets are lying through their teeth. This is a far more shameful situation than the massive lies that former Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell claims that he was deceived by the White House and did not know that he was lying. Kerry and the British, French, and German puppets know full well that they are lying.


The face that the West presents to the world is the brazen face of a liar.



************



Washington and its British and French puppet governments are poised to yet again reveal their criminality. The image of the West as War Criminal is not a propaganda image created by the West's enemies, but the portrait that the West has painted of itself. The UK Independent reports that over this past week-end Obama, Cameron, and Hollande agreed to launch cruise missile attacks against the Syrian government within two weeks despite the lack of any authorization from the UN and despite the absence of any evidence in behalf of Washington's claim that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against the Washington-backed "rebels," largely US supported external forces, seeking to overthrow the Syrian government. Indeed, one reason for the rush to war is to prevent the UN inspection that Washington knows would disprove its claim and possibly implicate Washington in the false flag attack by the "rebels," who assembled a large number of children into one area to be chemically murdered with the blame pinned by Washington on the Syrian government. Another reason for the rush to war is that Cameron, the UK prime minister, wants to get the war going before the British parliament can block him for providing cover for Obama's war crimes the way that Tony Blair provided cover for George W. Bush, for which Blair was duly rewarded. What does Cameron care about Syrian lives when he can leave office into the waiting arms of a $50 million fortune?



The Syrian government, knowing that it is not responsible for the chemical weapons incident, has agreed for the UN to send in chemical inspectors to determine the substance used and the method of delivery. However, Washington has declared that it is "too late" for UN inspectors and that Washington accepts the self-serving claim of the al Qaeda affiliated "rebels" that the Syrian government attacked civilians with chemical weapons. See also here. In an attempt to prevent the UN chemical inspectors who arrived on the scene from doing their work, the inspectors were fired upon by snipers in "rebel" held territory and forced off site, although a later report from RT says the inspectors have returned to the site to conduct their inspection. The corrupt British government has declared that Syria can be attacked without UN authorization, just as Serbia and Libya were militarily attacked without UN authorization.



In other words, the Western democracies have already established precedents for violating international law. "International law? We don't need no stinking international law!" The West knows only one rule: Might is Right. As long as the West has the Might, the West has the Right. In a response to the news report that the US, UK, and France are preparing to attack Syria, the Russian Foreign Minister, Lavrov, said that such unilateral action is a "severe violation of international law," and that the violation was not only a legal one but also an ethical and moral violation. Lavrov referred to the lies and deception used by the West to justify its grave violations of international law in military attacks on Serbia, Iraq, and Libya and how the US government used preemptive moves to undermine every hope for peaceful settlements in Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

1. This level of hyperbole does not help anything

[Junkdrawer]

2. K&R

[frazzled]

3. Disgusting, over-the-top propagandizing

Jeezus, I just can't believe this kind of irresponsible drivel would be tolerated here. Since when does DU stand for spouting Syrian government positions?

[KoKo]

5. Dr. Roberts /Assistant Secretary, US Treasury for Economic Policy/Reagan Administration

Dr. Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan Administration. He was associate editor and columnist with the Wall Street Journal, columnist for Business Week and the Scripps Howard News Service.

[frazzled]

10. And certified conspiracist!

I am not impressed that he served as an assistant secretary for one year in the Reagan administration. That is qualification for nothing. His other credentials, which you fail to mention, are stints at the right-wing Cato Institute and Hoover Institution. Not to mention appearances on the Alex Jones show!!

Honestly, folks. Have we no discernment for teh crazy here?

4. Maddow Ask Why Would Obama Attack Syria Before U.N. Weapons Inspectors Finish Their Job?

[Segami]

9. Thanks.

Maddow:

"....While the U.N. inspectors are there in that country, that we would axe before we actually found.......aaah, is very conflicting direction as far as I'm concerned in terms of what the point of this is..........If the idea is that we're supposed to re-establish international norms and an international regime against this sort of thing.........well, the tip of the spear there is the weapons inspectors.....why wouldn't we wait for them?.."

[KoKo]

6. He's an excellent counter-weight to the "Project for New American Century"

war hawks who got us into Iraq and won't give up with us involved in their LIST to be ticked off for their Grand Plan. The ones who just wrote the LETTER to Obama about why we must intervene in Syria with Missile strikes and "boots on the ground" to secure the country.

[cali]

8. He's a right wing racist piece of shit.

fuck posting him on DU

[KoKo]

12. Cali...I don't know that about him. I've seen his posts on Nation of Change

and even on Common Dreams. So, I don't know about his other writings. I thought it was interesting that he's a Reaganite and is expressing a different view.

I don't have anything to base what you say on. Another poster says he appears on Alex Jones...but, I don't watch or listen to whatever his show is.

If anyone has a link to his racism or that he's supporting PNAC or Teabaggers...then I'd like to know. I didn't see anything like that from this article...that he would be spreading RW/Racist stuff in it.

[maddezmom]

14. Here is what admin thinks about this racist POS

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=437x1149

[KoKo]

15. I wish the Admins would put a "Black List" up...It's hard to know

what they disapprove of. That post from Skinner is from 2010 so one would think there could be an alert and the reason why. I've seen people trash "Global Research" and I'm not a reader of it...but, I never hear the reasoning.

As I said, I didn't see anything that was rascist or Teaparty in that particular post at all. I thought he made good points about Syria. But, then I probably would disagree with him if his views are what the person who alerted on the post to Skinner said they were. Eugenics or something... sheesh..

[cali]

7. what an embarrassingly crappy piece. yikes.

damn, I hate stupid with a passion. and I don't care where it comes from.

I'm completely opposed to a military strike, but this is shite.

just a few points:

uh, no idiot author, we don't know that its a lie that the Syrian gov't used chemical weapons.

no, it's not close to being as shameful as what Powell did at the U.N. duh

Paul Craig Roberts is a right wing racist piece of shit.

fuck.

[dionysus]

11. welcome to the New DU, where woo runs rampant and vile sources are revered...

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Unreal, isn't it?

I don't get why supposedly liberal members are using racist, right-wing sources to back up their arguments.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/VDARE

VDARE is a "editorial collective" website run by paleoconservative Peter Brimelow. The site features regular articles by writers such as Michelle Malkin, Chuck Baldwin, Paul Craig Roberts, and Pat Buchanan on a variety of topics, and several writers who mostly only write for VDARE about race and immigration matters.

The site appears to be mainly a platform for Peter Brimelow's anti-immigration views, which veer frequently into playing footsie with overt white nationalism; the other topics are window dressing. VDARE has carried articles by fringe "academics" Jared Taylor, J. Phillipe Rushton and Kevin MacDonald, who more than just flirt with overt "scientific" racism (or "racial realism," as they like to call it). It also carried articles by the white nationalist Sam Francis until his death in 2005.

Let me join you in

16. I don't see WOO all over here...Admins, Juries and MIRT take cared of

most of that when it's first posted...and those who don't get caught first posting get it later.

I think there's good Balance here.

I don't know where you see this that you are talking about.
