You really believe everything the news channels are spewing?


No but conversely I don't dis-believe all that they are "spewing". as ever the truth is somewhere in between

One for you, as the OPCW confirmed the Sarin attack 51 weeks ago, an attack the Russians rubbished can you tell me whether it is possible that there has been another attack?.

Simply asking my friend.

Before we go in all guns blazing let's find out if this is genuine or not.

Remember, there is probably chemical weapons in the hands of many different parties in this conflict.

If he did it, let's go in...but at least wait for the OPCW report and a vote put to Parliament. The Syrian government and the Russians asked them to come in and see for themselves immediately after the attack, shame its taken them so long to get their act together.

You cant just go in because you "think" he done it.

So in a country where the regime have on numerous occasions indiscriminately bombed and gassed it's people the world just says, meh!

There was the same allged lack of credibility last year with the Russians claiming a staged incidence... but guess what (51 weeks ago)

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/syria-chemical-attack-assad




It doesn't make any sense for Assad to use chemical weapons against his own people at this stage. No one is saying he has never used them before.

You use the word "sense" in the same statement where you acknowledge his previous use of CW... WTF!

Please tell us what he would have to gain from using chemical weapons on his own people and provoking the west at this stage. We're waiting.

As the area is now controlled by Syria and Russia I'm not so sure that evidence could be gathered. The Russians asked them to come with the "support" of Russian forces...neutral my ass. Also, just to disavow you of a misconception...The OPCW NEVER attribute the perpetrator in any investigation - They are not allowed to, if attribution is to be made it is the UN and the UN position(which is often a competing mess) can be vetoed by any of the 5 members of the security council

NOWHERE have I advocated going in "all guns blazing"

In the modern era any dictator/strong man who uses CW's is bereft of sense, so your (and others) fallacy of "nothing to gain" is a moot point.

I had not ignored previous posts from you...Based upon your poor reasoning skills , in the future I had best ignore your posts. Ta.

Is there some doubt about the veracity of claims about an aggressive foreign power’s use or possession of some kind of weapons?

Sounds vaguely familiar.

That wasn't it's intention ya loon

For me, the crux is that something MUST be done. What that is, is difficult to formulate because of the history on all sides, multiplied by the geopolitics of the superpowers - both currently headed by venal fûckers who have disregard for any view other than their own.

As we both know, nothing is simple when it comes to competing governments.

"So a Western funded organisation reveals information that may lead to Western intervention? So dodgy. They are NOT a credible source."

That's an intellectually dishonest statement - essentially you are stating that if any organisation receives some funding from the west they become untrustworthy. You sir, are a fantasist, divorced from the realities of everyday life. You seek "truth" through a filter of self affirmation based upon your biases.

You talk history of western failures but strangely ignore the history of Syrian chemical weapon use - PROVEN by the OPCW.


That wasn't what I meant, that was your interpretation. I meant in this instance. I admit it could have been worded better, in fairness.

The only fantasists are people who believe our government are, or have ever acted out of humanitarian concern when it comes to the Middle East. Ever. It's always been about what's in the ground, or wider geopolitical issues related to said natural resources.

Your arrogance and insults on this thread do you no favours either. Then again, it must be so frustrating to have to interact with others clearly not on your intellectual level. Like a Dostoevsky cast adrift on an ocean of Dan Browns...

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

Can anyone tell me why it's only us, the yanks and the French who are planning on going in large? What about the rest of the NATO members?

Another one, rather then going in two footed with military action, why can't Assad be put up for war crimes in The Hague?

So if you could have worded it better then I might have correctly understood it? Fair one?

Look at my previous posts, I've said that these things are usually more about resources and/or geopolitics

Your arrogance and insults on this thread do you no favours either. Then again, it must be so frustrating to have to interact with others clearly not on your intellectual level. Like a Dostoevsky cast adrift on an ocean of Dan Browns..

I've been getting ranty because there is this weird illogical thought process that says we can't trust the western governments because of their previous actions/lies but we will put faith in the position of Syria/Russsia in spite of their previous action and lies! (and I'm stuck at home on the biff...cabin fever).

As to my intellectual level...I look up to the Chuckle Brothers and I've read neither Dan Brown nor Dostoevsky but I've seen it written that to fully understand the Russian authors you really need to understand the Russian language and then what may seem as dour or negative to us english speakers has a different meaning - satire/sarcasm

Err, no, it is tongue in cheek! That said in this instance the CW's have been supplied by the Soviets and not the west. None of the superpowers(or security council members) are averse to selling weapons to questionable regimes.
