Do we really have to take military action to Syria?

In the last week, Ive seen the right side o the aisle tripping over themselves to make up new conditions for undermining the country. SAD really.

Why couldn't all this be happening in Granada ...

U.N. inspectors have collected a "wealth" of evidence on the use of nerve agents that points to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons against his own people, according to a senior Western official.

The inspection team, which is expected on Monday to present U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon with a highly anticipated report on a suspected Aug. 21 nerve agent attack in the suburbs of Damascus, will not directly accuse the Syrian regime of gassing its own people, according to three U.N.-based diplomats familiar with the investigation. But it will provide a strong circumstantial case -- based on an examination of spent rocket casings, ammunition, and laboratory tests of soil, blood, and urine samples -- that points strongly in the direction of Syrian government culpability.

"I know they have gotten very rich samples -- biomedical and environmental -- and they have interviewed victims, doctors and nurses," said the Western official. "It seems they are very happy with the wealth of evidence they got." The official, who declined to speak on the record because of the secrecy surrounding the U.N. investigation, could not identify the specific agents detected by the inspector team, but said, "You can conclude from the type of evidence the [identity of the] author."

Under the terms of the UN mandate inspectors are only authorised to conclude whether chemical weapons have been used in Syria, without apportioning blame. ... The UN inspection team is expected to present their findings to Ban Ki-Moon, the UN Secratary General, on Monday.

I am aware, nevertheless, three diplomats said the evidence points toward the Syrian regime.

I thought you'd pick up the wrong end of the stick as usual Fluff.

By the way, based on the vote in your Parliament, you do not have a dog in this hunt.

We were sick of being railroaded into ****.

What you don't seem to grasp, is that if someone believes they're fighting the last battle, a moment all creation has been leading up to, they're not likely to be interested in peace talks.

You don't have to believe something to understand the motivation of someone who does.
