Even better: they don't want us involved - happy with that!

I believe Hague uses a weegie board for advice, mans a buffoon.

Totally agree with the let them fight it out scenario, we should have done that in several other countries as well.

Ronald,
Catch a grip will you! You might as well be posting links from David Icke. His analysis of anything military is farcical. Take a look Alex Jones 'analysis' of a 'shadow government plane'. He and his military experts can't even get the type correct let alone comprehend that it was in the circuit for the airport.

This whole little thing in Syria was probably begun by the west in the first place. According to the former French foreign minister it was!

TEEEJ, just because they are totally wrong about some things does not mean they are wrong about everything. Mainstream media often makes mistakes. Amongst the rubbish stories of Jones site are really good ones, often hard to find in the mainstream. The world is in urgent need of people like Jones as well as networks like RT to find out what is really going on. One just cannot rely on BBC, SKY, FOX and CNN which these days are just propaganda.

Does it really come as a surprise that the USA is so screwed up politically that a TV station would produce a programme using a housewife and a 'retired military man' who was barely capable of stringing two words together? I cannot imagine anybody taking this seriously.As for talking about Obama and other 'leftists' - the average American has no idea what the word socialist or being of left wing persuasion actually means

Foreign Secretary William Hague says for the first time that the "atrocity" in Syria
 

Russia Urges Syria To Allow UN 'Chemical' Probe

This is good news, or it's a smoke screen. Not sure which, but I hope the former.

But note on the latest revelations about the use of chemicals in Syria that Hagues response was about bringing the perpatrators to justice 'One day' - That seems to me a clear message that we are backing away from any intervention.

And its Ouija not weegie. :ok:

Those in glass houses...

I will quote Dan Dierdorf, much beloved lineman turned sports broadcaster on Monday Night Football:

"Let 'em play!"

Maybe this bloodletting is cathartic, and is needed.
Maybe not.

How do you make a weegie board? Take away his flick knife.


Sorry.

Except there's not much blood in a chemical attack which results in the lifeless bodies of children are being lined up in a morgue. Imagine for just one second what a Sarin attack would be like in your Texas town and then repeat back the words, "Let 'em play!". In what way did those youngsters deserve such a horrific death?

Looks like my boss wants to do something.

BBC:: SYRIA UNREST:UK Foreign Secretary William Hague says civilised world cannot ignore Syria chemical attack allegations

I've got a spare unopened sachet of Fuller's Earth if anyone wants it.

The civilised world can ignore the situation in Syria or else some time down the line try to explain why the people we 'helped' are now slaughtering those of the old regime that survive the air attacks and cruise missiles.Arabs are capable of great cruelty to their enemies - its part of the culture. It is not an islamic thing as I have lived in islamic countries where this vicious attitude was non existent - Malaysia for instance.

bcgallacher,

Spot on with that comment, its a shame that the people screaming to "get in there", have probably never seen the real results of our "efforts to help democracy", and I include Hague in that. Posturing blowhard that he is, as a Yorkshireman, common sense will prevail I hope. Not holding my breath though.

The 'outrage' at the events in Syria is being carefully managed to lower the public's expectations! View Obama and his 'red line' - its undoubtedly been crossed -maybe even danced on but the political retteric about the consequences of Syria doing that looks now very weak.
The war on the ground is already being fought with Western influence - if the political masters have any sense they will confine their efforts to intervention by cash and supplies only!

The reason that the 'West' should absolutely stay out of this is not for military reasons. These can all be solved somehow.
The real reason to stay out of this is because there simply is no 'right' side to support. You replace one problem with a probably even bigger problem.

Also this alleged Chemical attack: Is there any proof it was launched by the Assad regime?
Why should they? To convince the US or someone else to get involved?:confused:
Doesn't sound like a brilliant idea. :=
With Chemical weapons you will most severly hit the Civillians since Soldiers/Militias tend to be better equipped and trained to deal with that. So the pure military benefit of a chemical attack on a City is usually quite limited.
