France says "ready to punish" Syria for alleged gas attack


President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that France was "ready to punish" those behind last week's alleged deadly chemical weapons attacks in Syria, stressing that the conflict threatened "world peace".
Tensions have ratcheted up dramatically in recent days as Western and Arab nations increasingly call for action in the wake of the suspected gas attacks on August 21 in the Damascus suburbs, which Syria's opposition says killed more than 1,300 people.
"France is ready to punish those who took the vile decision to gas innocent people," Hollande said in a televised speech, pointing the finger of blame at President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Syria says 'terrorists' will strike Europe with chemical weapons


(Reuters) - Syria's deputy foreign minister said on Wednesday that the United States, Britain and France helped "terrorists" use chemical weapons in Syria, and that the same groups would soon use them against Europe.
Speaking to reporters outside the Four Seasons hotel in Damascus, Faisal Maqdad said he had presented U.N. chemical weapons inspectors with evidence that "armed terrorist groups" had used sarin gas in all the sites of alleged attacks.

Israel calls up reservists over Syrian threat


JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel ordered a special call-up of reserve troops Wednesday as nervous citizens lined up at gas-mask distribution centers, preparing for possible hostilities with Syria.

With the U.S. threatening to attack Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons, Israel fears that Syria may respond by attacking Israel, a close American ally. While Israeli officials believe the chances of a Syrian strike remain slim, people were clearly preparing for the possibility.

Could be that Putin wasn't grossed out till the militant got to the liver. Liver must have been an organ too far. He'll fight a world war over that. I don't know all the details.

As it has always meant to be. And when it does, we'll see if our "greatest ally" is fighting along side us.

I think Putin was more pissed about the Prince basically threatening him that if he didn't allow his ally Assad to be toppled that the Chec terrorists would be unleashed. I don't think Russian's in general take too kindly to being threatened, especially their President.

The amount of foreign policy experts on this forum is encouraging.

Couldn't be any worse than the amatuer hour production we're watching unfold on TV.

Just remember, we're on the side of Jamat al Nusra D'mocracy! Murrica!

It's been the goal since 1913. We've been spoiling for a redux since 1979.

Sadly I agree, we tried to get our way there once & look how it ended. Now they hate us even more than back then & we are about to jump in there again.

If Obama backs down now, he probably thinks that he'll be laughed at and mocked. He is very thin-skinned and his ego will not allow (more of) that. We are definately going to war and it's all about what Obama wants.
