...i suggest that as a representation of the Human concerns, in this matter, the rest of the world is asking the wrong questions. it is all too easy to divide and debate on National grounds, or a distinction easy to identify, but it is not the point. what we witness here is the denial that the evil exists within ourselves, and as a result it is easy for the powers who hold the Agenda to exploit this fear. any conflict among us is a concern, the real enemy, if we've learned anything from war, it is Ignorance, not the opposing side, and Hunger, Disease, even Natural Disaster, are worthy of the Hatred we have in our hearts.


I think that is one of the most concise and accurate observations I have read in a long while!

Ignorance is the enemy! Those who are pulling the strings know that and exploit it for all it is worth. This is the reason they control the media and are desperately trying to control the Internet. I have identified over many years that literally all that is going on in the World today is all linked back to a common source and has been for at least 200+ years or even longer if you go back to the very beginning. It is a story far more complex and involved than could ever be covered here.

Oceanside50:
.......basically RW, you are saying that thousands upon thousands of years of creativity and innovation by humans has done little in changing human nature?


May I suggest that mans ability to acquire and apply knowledge is now far more refined but human nature has not changed very much since man first stood up, walked on two legs and became the superior species. :(

Syrian President Bashar Assad says his country no longer needs chemical weapons to deter Israel. “We now possess deterrent weapons that are more important and more sophisticated than chemical weapons,” Syrian President Bashar Assad told visitors to his palace in Damascus on Thursday.

He emphasized that he had no need for chemical weapons. According to the report, which was carried by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, Assad said this was because the situation in Syria “has never been better,” as “we created chemical weapons in the ’80s as a deterrent against Israel’s nuclear arsenal. Today, it is no longer a weapon of deterrence.”

“We have weapons that are more important and more sophisticated to challenge Israel, which we can blind in an instant.” “In Syria there are thousands of tons of chemical weapons that have become a burden to us since their destruction costs a great deal of money and could take years to destroy.” “They also create environmental challenges and others that would need solving. So they [UN inspectors] should just come and take them,” Assad said.

[Getting rid of] the chemical weapons is not the goal of the United States and their allies, and it never has been,” he said. “They wanted to change the balance of power and to protect Israel.” “We turned the tables and sent the ball into their court. This move embarrassed them in front of the American public, in Europe and even in front of the U.S. government,” he said. Assad praised the “unprecedented collaboration with Russia,” and added that “we have an agreement with Russia that they will intervene, in a big way, if Syria is attacked.”

Political one-upmanship, at its most creative. :lol:

The Iranians are certainly not a stupid people is it possible they have developed this technology. They have managed to bring down several US drones in the past ......... just maybe? Have the Iranians already further scaled up this technology? It would explain Assad's use of 'blind' in his statement.

'Syria makes good start on chemical disarmament'
7 October 2013 /REUTERS, BEIRUT
The Syrian regime won foreign praise on Monday for starting to destroy its chemical arsenal, although an opposition activist said the world was merely giving President Bashar al-Assad time to kill more people with conventional weapons.
An official from the international mission overseeing the stockpile’s elimination said Damascus had made an excellent start, and the United States acknowledged its rapid compliance with a UN resolution on destroying chemical weapons as extremely significant…….
A good beginning

US Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday’s work was a good beginning and offered rare praise for Assad, a leader Washington insists lost legitimacy when he responded with force to protests against his rule which erupted in March 2011. “I think it is extremely significant that yesterday, Sunday, within a week of the resolution being passed, some chemical weapons were already being destroyed,” Kerry told a joint news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at an Asia-Pacific summit in Indonesia.
“I think it’s also credit to the Assad regime for complying rapidly, as they are supposed to,” he said. “I’m not going to vouch today for what happens months down the road, but it’s a good beginning, and we should welcome a good beginning.”…

Different things.

There is a big difference between the cold blooded genocidal massacres and exterminations of the Armenians and the Greeks and the Assyrians commited by the Turks, and the deaths of combatants during a civil war and of civilians caught in the cross fire. Besides, in that number of deaths in Syria are included casualties (combatants and civilians) caused by the rebels as well who where supported by Turkey and with weapons supplied by Turkey.

Indeed. and in particular where there is indeed genuine doubt whether the alleged poison gas deaths lie at the hands of the Assad regime forces or the rebels.....

Neither side gives a toss about life, either their own or someone else's.
Death is what they value, their only means of joining their ...creator. Their only focus in life is to kill and be killed, and blame America.!!

Their worst enemy is their perverted religion.

Wrong!!
Both the Syrian Army Forces, as well as the true FSA i.e., the native Syrian rebels (except, maybe, those of them who are fanatic Sunnis) do give a toss about the life of their compatriots. Syrians, in General, are civilazed people. Nothing like the international mercenary jihadist pig thugs who are destroying the country and butchering the native population with the help of Turkey and you know who else, in order to establish an Islamic- Sharia regime as they have been declaring.
