AberdeenBud Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 interesting, also worth noting people give an article like that credence but refuse to contemplate 9-11 conspiracy theories. personally I am of the opinion a military-industrial-corporate coup took place in 1963 with the killing of jfk, and everything since with the slight exception of carter has just been a continuation of that.

To confirm that they were used? Now did the 'rebels' have the capability to launch such an attack, and if they did why did the Syrian army shell the area afterwards?

welshbairn Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The UN can only do what members allow and fund it to do, in particular those in the Security Council. If they were going to check out use of chemical weapons in Syria, they could only do it with the agreement of the Syrian Government, as no country was offering an army to force their way in, and thus had to limit the terms of their enquiry. However there should be enough clues in Appendix 5 of their report to satisfy any military expert about who fired the sarin filled rockets. http://www.un.org/disarmament/content/slideshow/Secretary_General_Report_of_CW_Investigation.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's my point, The UN can't attribute blame and seeing as both sides are accusing each other, at the end of the day what difference does confirming they were used ,do?

So you think the World should stand back and watch Assad murder his own people? Then throw in that chemical weapons have been used too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethbalesstupidface Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 nobody knows thats what he's been doing yet. and the world has a body that deals with these things the united nations, britain and the uk are not the world police and have no right to be judge and jury on such matters. we also have used chemical weapons btw, and we are the ones that sold them to syria.

And yet we were falling over ourselves to get into Libya when there is far more proven justification for intervention in Syria? It's easy to see why the Arab World mistrusts the West! With regard to us selling Syria the chemical weapons.....this is irrelevant to the arguement of intervention but an issue that needs addressed.

This is where the UN should come in and pressure the Arab League to intervene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
