Despite public denials, military preparations for intervention in the horrendous Syrian crisis are quietly afoot in Washington, Paris, Rome, London and Ankara. President Barack Obama is poised for a final decision after the Pentagon submits operational plans for protecting Syrian rebels and beleaguered populations from the brutal assaults of Bashar Assad’s army
This process is also underway in allied capitals which joined the US in the Libyan operation that ended Muammar Qaddafi’s rule in August, 2011. They are waiting for a White House decision before going forward.
(CNN) -- "Widespread, systematic and gross human rights violations" amounting to crimes against humanity in Syria have been conducted with the "apparent knowledge and consent" of the country's "highest levels," a U.N. commission said Thursday.
U.N. bodies probing the crimes should identify perpetrators and hold them accountable, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic said, stressing that "urgent, inclusive political dialogue" is needed to end the crisis.
"The government has manifestly failed in its responsibility to protect the population," the report said. "Anti-government armed groups have also committed abuses, although not comparable in scale and organization with those carried out by the state."
The commission said it has documented "crimes against humanity and other gross violations."

Here's what French says:
"Damascus owes us an answer"; French Foreign Minister Juppe says France holds Syria responsible for Remi Ochlik death
Remi Ochlik is the French journalist that died yesterday under Syria's army bombing...
There is no doubt that the tone goes up between France and Syria...

They need it at this point in my opinion. Media reporters are being killed, injured and these "medical profesionals" are trying to help them but they simply do not have the supplies to do so. Places like Homs are turning into dust holes.
Something needs to be done here and quick. Just my opinion though.
Heres another link to the Syria crisis.

Yeah it's debka but the elite wants to take out Syria before Iran... and they want to take out Iran before the US election... so time is running short.
So it might be true.
