Syrian Free Army signing own death warrant : Comments

By David Singer, published 16/9/2013

This could well signal the end of armaments supplies, funding and promised diplomatic support from America and the West for the Syrian Free Army.

Rhrosty: "As some might say, my enemy's enemies are also my friends!"

No. In a modern, complex world, one's WORST enemy may be one's second worst enemy's enemy too. To translate; the US's worst enemy is Assad's worst enemy too, the Islamists.

Of course, if Assad is shown to have conclusively used chemical weapons on his own women and children, then he should he creamed. But a worse enemy would be the Islamists, whom the US cannot ever support, despite some rather crazed comments on other threads.

It really is a b@stard of a world.

Here is a video showing Israel using White Phosphorous on the Palistinians. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iA9RkRS6zk Why is not Israel being investigated for using chemical weapons?

Arjay, Israel is one of the so-called 'Good Guys'. Good guys can use Agent Orange, depleted uranium, napalm, cluster bombs, landmines, Daisy cutters, white phosphorous munitions, etc, to their heart's content and no criticism is ever offered!

Good Guys can fill the world with hate for certain groups, certain races, certain religions. The hate created via never-ending propaganda allows war to be endless. It also enables some nations (well, one in particular) to create huge militaries which they can spread right across the world and bully all who oppose them.

They claim that they are keeping the world safe from those designated as enemies as they go about their imperialism which has one objective: to control the world.

Some people fall for the propaganda. They fail to see the danger right before their eyes. They worship military power, are excited by it, not realizing or caring that it cancels out peace!

Intelligent people realize that war in a nuclear-armed world that fights to control scarce resources can only have one outcome: human extinction!

If that is the way the world ends, then so be it! At least I did my bit to point out where we're headed.

Orwell had it right. The U.S. is Big Brother!

America forgot to plant the WMD's in Iraq before looking for them.

They will do what they want does not matter what any country says.

Nearly EVERY war America was involved in was by lies and manufactured evidence.

It is a wonderful outcome for the liberal democracies to see two brands of Islamic fanaticism killing each other off. The best course of action is to keep the pot boiling and to give each side just enough diplomatic and military support to prevent one side or the other from losing. The more these characters fight each other, the less inclined they are to fight us or our friend, Israel.

The decision by the Sunni "Free Syrian Army" to not hand over it's own captured supplies of chemical weapons would have to be the dumbest military decision since Saddam Hussein thought that he could win a war against the USA. With a bit of luck, the dummies might be stupid enough to use the stuff themselves on the Alawite Assad regime and thereby destroy any moral support they might have had from any misguided western public opinion.

Either way, let's just buy a packet of chips and enjoy the spectacle of our enemies fighting each other.

Dear LEGO,

After losing 25,000 soldiers in 14 hours in the battle of Eylau, Napoleon replied: “One night in Paris will replenish the ranks”.
