  1. "So, Secretary of State John Kerry referenced this photograph when making his speech today, trying to drive home how awful the Syrian chemical attack was as he tried to convince us why we should go to war. One problem. The picture isn’t even from Syria. It’s from Iraq in 2003. The photographer, Marco di Lauro, said he nearly “fell off his chair” when he saw it was being used to promote a war in Syria. It’s getting pretty disturbing to see how far our politicians, both Republican and Democrat, are willing to go to drum up support for a war nobody wants."
  2. Disturbing photo. Much more disturbing history.
  3. Just read that Kerry's said that sarin gas was used in Syria. Well, that is a chemical classed by the UN as mass destruction weapon...
  4. I will wait till the UN comes with the results and its proof on who used which gas. Since the 'truck with WMD at some depot in Iraq desert' -photo I am not so keen to believe any proof presented by the USA.
  5. I'd wait too. This is getting too serious too fast. I'm glad the new foreign minister here is reacting with reason and keeping his distance from Assad. Some other idiots are talking here tho and saying radical stuff, but I think they'll be shut up soon.

    Anyway, here is a cartoon by an Iranian cartoonist I thought might fit here:

    Assad is saying: "Now choose: Me or him?"

  6. Sadly spot on...
  7. In my opinion the US are too quick again to talk about chemicals, wasn't it the same in Iraq, wasn't that also proved? They need to await the UN and the Arabic Liga before even thinking of doing anything. How sad the situation is, this is still a domestic issue in Syria, they don't attack other countries. But it can escalate very easy with non-approved interference from the outside.
  8. Just read about US using chemical weapons in Vietnam. Even today children are born dead or deformed. Their whole jungles just disappeared and land is poisoned even today.

    Also, US provided chemical weapons for Saddam when he was in war against Iran.

    Rockets or chemical weapons, it's almost the same because many rockets end up killing civilians. Dead human is a dead human, no matter the weapon used.


  9. Not an accurate one. I am neither radical, nor ignorant, and you do not deny my accusation, just resort to an insult, and call it a description. I spend at least 2 hours a day studying current global events, or history, just because I can. I'd argue I know more about the workings of the world than you do. I can discuss anything from the mood in Europe prior to WW1, to the Iran hostage crisis, to the events leading up to the Srebrenica Massacre. You are the radical ignorant. That is not a description. That is a fact.

    I am a capitalist, fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and proud to live in the best goddamn country in the world. If that's radical, then lock me up now, cause I ain't changing those views for no one.

    To hell with the U.N. bunch of fucking idiots. You name a place they have been involved, they most likely failed.

    How is this related? You just like bitching about my country. The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, is common knowledge. Thousands of American vets have filed class action lawsuits against the companies which manufactured it.

    FYI, the majority of the materials Iraq used to make chemical weapons where provided by European countries. The big things the U.S. sold them where computers which ended up being used in Saddam's nuclear program, and biological agents which where acquired under the pretense of medical research.
  12. You guys have helped me make up my mind. I'm quitting fucking college, and never coming back. I ought to thank you, for making the decision so clear.
