West arming Syrian rebels who eat human flesh,Vladimir Putin says

44. Post the videos, then--let's have a look. I haven't seen them.

And the "babies out of incubators" thing was a GHWB concept.

I do believe that Saddam's RGs DID film their exploits. I've seen plenty of film on the Iran Iraq war, and it would not surprise me if there is film of those attacks. The point I am making is that there doesn't have to be a great big cloud, coming at you from miles away, high and wide, to poison people. It can be a much more intimate process. Many chemical weapons are invisible.

Look at the order that this situation was revealed, here. It was the socialist French, followed by the UK, who first raised the alarm about this--NOT the USA.

The USA has been dragging their feet on getting involved in Syria--which is why they didn't just say "Oh, OK, French, we'll take your word for it."

The USA, in fact, didn't take the French word, or the British word--they went and got their own samples. And, boom goes the dynamite, three times the charm.

Look, even Morsi of Egypt--the Muslim Brotherhood leader and hardly Obama's "BFF"--is calling for a no-fly zone. So's Jordan (and the young king has had his differences with USA, so it's not like they're touting "our" POV). You know the Saudis want this shit rolled up as quickly as possible. This is a proxy war, and it's an Arab - Iranian one, with Sunni-Shi'a overtones. The Arabs are quite annoyed with Assad for coloring outside the lines, and they just aren't having it. Even the non-Arab Turks, who have managed to make friends in the area from their perch above the fray, aren't having this without complaint--after all, they end up with the refugees and the hassle, and wars have a way of spilling over borders.

Arabs like stability, more than anything, and they like countries that have strong leadership, consensus-based problem solving (even if the consensus is amongst elites) and few surprises. Basher is no Hafiz al-Assad; his father knew how to play the carrot/stick game AND keep his Arab neighbors in his corner, but the son has absolutely no clue, and has lacked one for a long time. Plus, he's ruthless. He makes his dad look like a pussycat.
