There will be an emergency meeting in Geneva Saturday to discuss the on-going violence and near civil war in Syria.
Unsurprising to many, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will not attend.
As the Western World watches the escalating chaos within Syria, and even the cross boarder escalation between Turkey and Syria, fears have persisted that the crisis may jeopardize the security of the entire globe. Feeding this anxiety is the reported enormous stockpile of chemical weapons held by the Syrian government. Intelligence officials both in the United States and Israel worry that as the violence continues and the situation in Syria devolves into a true civil war, the security of those weapons may be at stake with the increased potential that they fall into the hands of rogue actors – including Hezbollah or Al Qaeda. Aside from the ongoing slaughter of the Syrian people, might this national security threat be the tipping point of U.S. involvement in the crisis? Or should the U.S. resist the temptation to act with troops following reports of heinous weapons based off recent negative experiences in the region?
Clare Lopez of the Center for Counterintelligence and Security Studies joined “Real News” Friday to discuss the situation:

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 10:25pmNothing but lies. Everyone has know for 30 years that Syria uses torture. The Russians, Iranians, and Chinese have troops in Syria. Would these two nations defend Syria if it was using torture and chemical weapons. North Korea sank a South Korean ship killing everyone on board last year and non of these agencies said anything.
In WWI the British swore that the German soldiers were throwing babies up against walls. In the US war with Spain, the US claimed the Spanish were stopping ships on the high seas and rapping white women.
This trick is not going to work this time.

Posted on June 29, 2012 at 8:32pmFrance created Syria, Britain created Israel, the Europeans created chemical weapons. Where in history does it say the U.S. is responsible for Syria or Turkey?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_weapons
I say:
> Let the Turks and Syrians fight it out.
> The U.S. needs to get out of the Middle East and let Europe worry about the problems they created.
> If the Jews want to move to the U.S. fine, if not, they need to fight their own battles.
Prediction:
Report Post »Obama will get us involved and Romney will support U.S. involvement. Since Obama and Romney work for the same elites and elites love war we’re going to start another war.
