Syria megathread- is British government desperate for another war?

[I1L2T3]

If it's proved that it was Assad who ordered the attacks on his own people using chemical weapons what are you going to say then?

 

You can believe your sources of informtaion and I will believe mine. Time will tell who is right

 

Bush didn't kill all that many. He deposed a dictator and afterwards a sectarian war broke out in Iraq which is the real reason that so many have died and continue to do so to this day.

 

If Assad does manage to prevail what do you think will be left of Syria?

Who will rebuild it? Who will finance the rebuilding or where will the money come from? It will cost billions. You will really need the Russians then. How far can you trust Putin?

 

As for Assad do you really think he will be a recognized leader in the diplomatic world or just a pariah who clung to power using every means at his disposal?

 

Any way you look at it the future looks like ***** for Syria in the long term

 

If it's proved? I thought you believed it was proven.

 

Bush didn't kill that many? Thousands died as a direct result of allied operations. That is a tragedy.

let me understand this. You're using Bush to defend Assad?

The Iraq war was based on bull excrement evidence though wasn't it?

Stop being silly. Of course not.

Then why keep on bringing up George Bush? Bush was democratically elected with a set limited term in office unlike Emperor Assad.

 

Bush never turned the military on his own people nor used sarin gas. Bush does not belong to a sectarian tribe which has no other ambition but to keep that tribe in power.

 

If you'd bother to read the statstics on deaths in Iraq since the fall of Saddam you would see that sectarian warfare is responsible for 85 percent of deaths in that time

It did have some basis in the fact that Saddam Hussein was ... not that nice.

 

However it should have been sorted in the 90s. The Second Iraq War was a vaguely framed mess, based on lies, with a good motive.

I didn't bring up George Bush. Read back. I am taking issue with you playing down the killing and maiming of innocent civilians by US forces.

 

So because the allies were 'only' responsible for 15% of the deaths that's OK is it? And the legacy of the use of DU, itself a war crime, is that OK too?

[Chris_Sleeps]

DU?

 

What's that?

[mafya]

DU?

 

What's that?

All we know about Saddam is what we have been told by people making a case to go borrow his oil.

We will never hear his side of the story that is fact,and there is ALWAYS 2 sides..

 

What we do know is the Iraq is alot worse off now than it was before we started cowerdly dropping bombs and a lot more people have lost their lifes there as a result than they ever did under Saddam.

Syria will be the same,we ARE going after the oil and people ARE going to die as a result.But it wont matter because its unlikley it will be one of our family members,just something heavily edited to watch on TV.
