Syrian state media on Sunday reacted to President Obama's decision to ask Congress for authorization to strike President Bashar al-Assad's regime, calling the move the start of a U.S. retreat.
"Whether the Congress gives the red or green light for an aggression, and whether the prospects of war have been enhanced or faded, President Obama has announced yesterday, by prevaricating or hinting, the start of the historic American retreat," Al-Thawra said.
The Syria story just keeps getting weirder and weirder. So who knew that back in May, 2013 Carla Del Ponte, a member of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria, stated that she believed the rebels had been engaged in chemical weapons attacks. Specifically, she told Swiss-Italian television:
I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated…This was used on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities.

Killing Cancer isn't murder. It's a way to save the children of his war.
The idiot shouldn't have shot protesters when this all started.
Only a Cancer would do that.
Now, think about that for a second.
So, we come in there and bomb all of those targets only to find out that Assad did exactly what he said he was going to do and put human shields at all of those locations.
All of the targets are dead as well as the human shields.
Will that make the U.S. the "Cancer":? and if so .. How should those Murderous Sons a Britches be dealt with?

Whatever you say but your thoughts about this whole event is based off of bad information, so I just wanted to point all of that out for you.
So how do you feel about America's Middle Eastern wars, conflicts, and drone operations killing way more people than the Syrian civil war combined?
How is he laughing? Please, post that source.edit on 1-9-2013 by Swills because: (no reason given)
