This whole thing is a huge mess and none of us will ever be in command of enough of the actual facts to make a proper educated judgement on who is to blame. The conspiracy nuts are as bad as the warmongers, just on the other side of the fence. The only thing we can probably agree on is that its a mess we should be very keen not to get involved in.

I agree, another problem "we" have now is that fact that we have helped the rebels in various ways, I am sure the powers that be are a tad worried what they will do if we just toss them aside.

It would be very naive given what happened in Libya not to think that the rebels are only fighting because the expect the west to attack Syria.
 
So Cameron has spoken to Putin and told him that there is no doubt the the Syrian regime is behind the alleged chemical attack.

Has the UN team even reached the alleged site yet?

Nope, they tried to but came under rebel fire.

The Russian foreign minister:

"If anyone thinks that destroying Syria's military infrastructure and leaving the battleground open for the opposition to take victory would be the end of it, that is an illusion," said Lavrov.

"Even in case of such a victory, civil war will continue, only the side of the government will be the opposition side."

Sadly the US were told conclusively the same thing would happen in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya but the warnings fell on deaf ears so no reason they would listen now :(
 
Hague would say the Chemical attack was Assad's work even before the bombs dropped !!

No idea what this warmonger's agenda is but I don't for one second think Assad is behind the chemical attack. He has no need to do it. I am very sad that the mainstream media is not asking this question too; they just believe any **** that comes out of Hague's mouth polluting the minds of the entire viewing public.

I'd actually be in favour for once of those anti war protesters for this one. Now that we have the Internet, we get more than one side of the story.

I don't see why they keep saying "no doubt" when logic suggests assad has the most to lose from a chemical attack.

surely that must be doubt enough.

much like iraq I guess military action will start without any evidence or faked evidence from "reliable sources"
Lets hope hagues source is a lot more reliable than that guy was

tbh a fresh start for some countries would be the best thing for them.

to much tribal idiots fighting over land and power like they still live in the dark ages
 
We should not be getting involved apart from keeping a close eye on it, The moral standpoint of chemical weapons is of major concern, but there is **** more important closer to home that could be dealt with instead of buying 15 cruise missiles off the Americans. (which is what they want) Like the pothole at the end of my road or the bad way some NHS/Schools are. I am sure the $600k a pop they cost would be quite handy for some of them.

what seems interesting is the BBC have't been allowing comments on the syria articles for some days now likely because the last one was full of comments against us getting involved

edit: nevermind some of them still have comments for some reason they are hard to find and not linked to from the main stories
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23840065?filter=none#dna-comments

going from the comments on bbc news and sky news hague is committing career suicide or is a genuine idiot who thinks the public are gullible still

You seriously getting all Tin foil hats on the BBCs mistake? Id more likely say it wasn't intentional and some Uni degree Interns **** up... I know that sounds cliché..

Surely they have sub editors to pick up on this kind of blatant cockup.

yea and if you try to find one of the articles with comments on by going to news.bbc you will have a very hard time alternatively you can start on the syria conflict page and still see no way of finding the comments
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17258397

I had to resort to google to find them, so why are they hard to find and almost hidden?
