| 2013-08-29 |
| [Al Ahram] Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi on Wednesday accused Western countries of "inventing" excuses to take military action against Syria over its alleged chemical weapons attacks. "Western countries, starting with the United States, are inventing fake scenarios and fictitious alibis to intervene militarily in Syria," he said, quoted by state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? In the meantime, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... called Wednesday for a "comprehensive" solution in Syria, as Washington and its allies considered military action against the kingdom's northern neighbour. "The king and Abbas discussed the Syrian crisis and urged a comprehensive solution to the crisis that would end the suffering of the Syrian people," a palace statement said after the two leaders met in Amman. Jordan's Information Minister Mohammad , whose country is a key US ally, reiterated on Wednesday that the kingdom would not be used as "a launchpad" for any military intervention in Syria. |
