Chemical weapons used by Syria

The UN has ordered an emergency session for the Security Council in response to new certifiable reports that Syrian forces used chemical weapons last week on villages. What do you think, will it take one week, or a month for the commitment made by the US to intervene if chemical weapons was used. I bet a month, then it is party over for Assad. Away we go, again.
 
I find it odd that we ignored it when they were blowing people up, but now that chemical death is introduced it won't be tolerated. Dead is dead. Doubt we wanna be in Egypt with midterms right around the corner. I guess it depends on the polls as to what we'll do.
 
The United States used chemical weapons on it's "own" people a few decades back when they sprayed Mexican pot fields with paraquat, they knew much of the pot was bound for the USA.

Kinda like how firestorms killed many more people than atomic bombs in WWII but the method of killing was the protested issue...

I would be shocked if the USA put boots on the ground in Syria... So other than a no-fly zone or drone attacks I dont know what we would actually do.

Wrong... This has been covered before here and it was found that rebel jihadists were using chemical weapons supplied by the US via Turkey and Jordan.
 
Well folks, we are on the way. US navel ships are being diverted to stand off the Syrian coast. It seems that our involvement in Syria is going to be sooner than later. Well, on the bright side, this should help with unemployment in the US, because as we all know, there's nothing like a good war to improve the economy. Hopefully this one will go better than Afghanistan.:peace:

Well, killing is killing and though there is no thin line, mass killing of babies is different. No one wants to talk about the real reasons we went into Iraq. Gassing Kurd and S'hia babies, is just one of the horrors we stopped.

Dude, you should know, we never set out to win anything in Afgan, only to destroy the Taliban resolve and to show what US Marines really are for next time. It will probably be China Marines next time. They have big mining interest now. That is what we provided for them to take their gold to protect the sea lanes. AND THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT.

Much gold, copper, zinc, vast wealth untapped in that side of the Hindu Kush. The main Chinese copper mine was discovered 2000 years ago. Just a little hole to get a little copper.

Can we sit by while Hutu machete the Tooties? Sure, no problem. But, mass gas on the Borders or Israel and Iraq, no. But, if this makes anything better.....we will see.

And very astute, all Presidents need a little war at the end of their second term to hand a shit bag to the opposition if they take the vote.

What do you expect from the guy who received the Nobel Peace Prize???

Hope and change... of subject....
 
Is this like the "weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" ploy again? Any proof that Assad used chemical weapons on rebels? Or are we just supposed to have faith in the ability of our leaders to always tell the truth?

The NSA doesn't spy on you. no really. LOL

They dragged out footage of a room full of twitching kids from somewhere. And as ole' Doer always says, we don't need a good excuse to fight. Any excuse at all, is just fine.

Killing is killing according to what the meaning of is, is.

I might reluctantly kill to defend myself. I differentiate that from the kind of random killing (murder) that governments do and pass off as "collateral damage" or the more commonly accepted kinds of murders that thugs other than the uniformed kind engage in.

I'd agree that dead is dead, but think that when defining killing, an understanding of the kind of action it is, ie, "defensive" or offensive should be part of the understanding.
 
Does anyone remember a couple of months ago when the US made the same claim of chem/bio weapon use... Didn't pan out back then don't know why people think it will now...:dunce:
 
Cops use biological weapons on people all the time in the land of the imprisoned when they pepper spray them.
