| Moscow Warns West against 'Tragic Mistake' in Syria |
| 2013-08-26 |
| [An Nahar] Military action against the Syrian regime would be a "tragic mistake", Russia said Sunday, warning the West not to preempt the results of a U.N. probe into alleged deadly chemical attacks. Moscow warned there was a danger of history repeating itself a decade after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, which it opposed, and urged the United States to refrain from any reckless decision. "We strongly urge those who, by attempting to impose their own results on the U.N. experts, are raising the possibility of a military operation in Syria to use their common sense and refrain from committing a tragic mistake," foreign ministry front man Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement. "All this is reminiscent of events from a decade ago, when the United States bypassed the U.N. and used fallacious information on the presence in Iraq of weapons of mass destruction to launch an adventure, the consequences of which are known to all," he said. |

| #4 As long as Russia does not mention the phrase "grave concern" or maneuver Russian warships Cold War-style against NATO naval assets in the region, Obama has a green light to strike Syria. As long as your enemy is vigorously working toward self-defeat, you shouldn't stop him. |

| #2 Last time I looked Moslems are using Poison gas on other Moslems. Yes? Are we going to be afraid the Moslems would use poison gas on Us? You KNOW a Moslem will use poison gas on ANYbody. Come on, they are Moslems. But as long as they use it on EACH OTHER and the wind isn't blowing toward New Jersey...well...why not? Its the Principle of the thing? How many men in the platoon are ready to die for the "principle of the thing"? Think: Moslems are gassing Moslems....yeah and finish your breakfast. |
