Only the Golden Dawn would turn this conflict into a Christian vs Muslim conflict. Although, I have to really give it to Assad for being one of the few Middle Eastern countries that does not persecute its Christians. I wish he would do the same to Kurds and Jews. | ||

You have no clue if you think it's not a christian-muslim conflict. It has always being a christian-muslim conflict in this part of the world. | ||

The only thing is there's no way of knowing if the samples are from government firing chemical shells, or the rebels, or the rebels breaking open some shells they've captured and getting soil samples that way. I'm gonna break a leg here and say that there is the possibility for them to not exist at all. lol | ||

http://www.facebook.com/UgaritNews.English/posts/438837962874886 + Show Spoiler + Ugarit News || URGENT | PRESS RELEASE BY NATIONAL COALITION The Position of NATO’s Secretary General Regarding Intervention in Syria Statement Syrian Coalition Istanbul, Turkey April 24, 2013 The Syrian Coalition is highly disappointed with NATO’s Secretary General, Mr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s, conclusions regarding intervention in Syria. Mr. Rasmussen confirmed that NATO has no intention of intervening in Syria within the parameters laid out by the Syrian Coalition. These conclusions were made after Mr. Rasmussen’s own statements about the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria, and the dangers and risks of the Syrian crisis extending beyond Syria’s borders. NATO has stated that it will only monitor the activity of scud missiles being launched from the Assad camps near Damascus to neighboring towns and villages to the north. NATO’s radars will ensure that those missiles fall within the borders of Syria. However, the fact that these missiles will fall over the heads of innocent civilians and children seems to be of no concern to NATO, even though NATO has the forces and preventive tools to stop these missiles. The Syrian Coalition finds it tragic that NATO has the power to stop further loss of life in Syria, but chooses not to take that course of action. We do not expect the murderous behaviour of Assad’s regime to change in the near future, and thus we are certain that tomorrow will bring news of more innocent civilians dead in Syria. Therefore, it is our duty to remind the international community once more of the grave dangers facing civilians in all regions of Syria. The international community must rise to its great moral and ethical responsibilities and put an end to this bloodshed. History will not only condemn the murderous criminals, but also those who had the power to intervene but chose to be idle. American and Russian Views on Syria Must Take into Account the Demands of Syrians Statement The Media Office Istanbul, Turkey April 24, 2013 According to news sources at the NATO Foreign Ministers Conference in Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, and Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, met and seemed to share similar views regarding the Syrian Crisis. The Syrian Coalition applauds any efforts to present solutions and reach conclusions regarding the Syrian Crisis. However, this two-year revolution by the people for the people, which calls for freedom and dignity, will continue. Therefore, any solutions must take into account the demands of the Syrian people, which include freedom from tyranny, and most importantly, the departure of Assad. We have no indications that the Assad regime will change its murderous actions, which is why we know that tomorrow will bring more news of the deaths of Syrian civilians and the destruction of our country. We appeal to the international community once more, and NATO in particular, regarding the gravity of the situation across Syria. Immediate action must be taken to stop the bloodshed led by the Assad regime. For updates, follow Syrian Coalition on Twitter @EtilafUS.

This isn't the US saying one thing and most of the rest of the world disagreeing, everyone was in agreement before this civil war ever started that Syria does have chemical weapons stockpiles. | ||

Are they well documented? Really? Can you share an official article providing pictures, I would love to see that. And who's everyone, usa and puppet nations? Yes I'm sure they agree, just like sadam had nuclears or was it bio? Don't even remember. The rebels have lost almost all control in syria and nato comes for the rescue with this make believe hazard. | ||

I know it sounds stupid but it seems like they're doing rebels a favor. Assad is getting really desperate right now. The Ba'athists are losing right now due to massive funding from the West with minimal support from Russia, Iran, and China and the whole industrial world seems to care less about the Syrian government except for a few leftists. Assad seems to have nothing to lose at this point, especially when you put Gaddafi's fate into consideration. | ||

Seems like the stories we have being reading are vastly different cause it's the rebels that have completely withdrawn from every major city. | ||

I ask you the same question because that's what their primary target was, big cities. And in the last months they have being gradually pushed out. Don't forget that assad has long range static artillery, they can't just camp somewhere in the middle of nowhere cause it will rain steel. It's a fact that they lost the war. And now nato wants to be done with the whole waiting-for-the-rebels-to-win ordeal and decided to go and bomb them with the pretext of chemicals. | ||
