I don't give a shit about Rand Paul, or Obama's political standing, or House GOP motivations.

It is still unclear which side in Syria used chemical weapons. It should be noted that the so-called evidence presented by the US and France is too ambiguous and insufficient to convict Syria, an entire country, of crimes, and military strikes on Syria will very likely cause many casualties. As countries built on the rule of law, (sic) the US and France have made reckless decisions.

The problem is both Washington and Paris do not really care about international law. Every action they take on Syria stems from their own political judgment of Syria's national situation. Such a judgment is also based on their geopolitical interests in this area. It is irrational to say that someone who wants to stop a war is "crazier" than someone who wants to start one.

Washington has made its judgment - even if it turns out that chemical weapons were not used by Syrian government troops, the US knows it won't be held to account for launching such a misguided war, as it did in Iraq. A journalist with the Associated Press has reportedly revealed the inside story, claiming that Syrian opposition forces mishandled chemical weapons. But this revelation has not been given enough attention since it was reported, either from the US government or Western media.

...

To make matters worse, nobody is really being held responsible for the chaos left by (Iraq and Afghanistan). President Bush has left office and doesn't need to concern himself with the consequences. Obama still has about three years left in the White House. As long as he manages his remaining time well, nobody will ask him to be responsible for Syria in a few years' time.

Those of us who know better don't buy the "rule of law" bit for a second - "law" is for We Peons, while Wall St Banksters and NSA-Compliant Transnational Corporations get special laws written to "legalize" their traitorous, criminal behavior. In many respects, this piece is too kind and too soft. Still, it reflects China's position as not "on our (sic) side" in wanting to put Al Qaeda in charge of yet another nation in the region.

Given their position, does anyone find it odd that only Russia gets called out for being "obstructionist" in the Security Council? Perhaps China has agreed, behind the scenes, to "abstain" as they have on other, similar occasions.

Maybe, just maybe, this is because this war is about screwing Russia, who stubbornly will not sell out its resources and people to Western Transnational Power, and has NOTHING to do with the "humanitarian concerns" we are being fed. Only a complete idiot could actually believe our wars are about "helping people" given what is NOT being done in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and other "friendly dictatorships" of the Western Transnationals. Only a blind fool could miss the NGO / Foundation aid given to Chechnyan fundamentalist-terrorist 'rebels' to kill Russians - the same groups getting our (sic) help in Syria now, Lybia before, and Afghanistan from 1979 (Six months Before the USSR responded to the US/Terrorist Proxy army) through June of 2001 (date of last payment to the Taliban schoolgirl-murderers from the US Treasury).
