Gulf Urges Immediate Intervention to 'Rescue' Syrians
2013-09-08
[An Nahar] The Gulf Cooperation Council urged the international community Saturday to intervene immediately to "rescue" the Syrian people from their government's "oppression."
"Let's you and him fight."
"The genocide, and grave human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
 violations, faced by the Syrian people necessitate an immediate intervention by the international community," GCC secretary general Abdullatif al-Zayani said.
Don't the Gulf States have armies? I thought they did...
Those are just for impressing pretty girls, silly. If they were meant for fighting, the troops and officers would all be kaffirs, since the purpose of fighting Arab troops is to be defeated by the Joooooos.
The intervention would aim to "rescue the brotherly Syrian people from the oppression of its regime, and bring its suffering to an end," a statement added.

awaits a vote by the Congress over his request to back his plan to strike Syria over an alleged use of chemical weapons.

"The Syrian regime is fully responsible for what is happening in Syria, for rejecting all attempts to solve the crisis, and continuing to practice killing and destruction, including the use of chemical weapons," Zayani said.

#2  Don't the Gulf States have armies?

As most Arab nations, usually established to make sure the local inhabitants remain docile rather than fight Western style wars with neighbors. The confrontations with Israel really weren't what they were designed for. Even the big Iraq-Iran War showed the ability to get their skills up to WWI levels at best. They favored to be employed as a internal police force, though that appears a bit tough in Syria as well.
