The White House said Thursday it would send military assistance to the Syrian opposition after concluding that Bashar Assad has crossed President Obama's so-called red line on chemical weapons.
Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes told reporters the president has ruled out putting U.S. boots on the ground however and remains unconvinced that a no-fly zone to protect rebel-held areas is workable.
Rhodes did not make it clear what types of military assistance would be provided and did not use the word "weapons" when asked directly whether arms would be delivered to rebel groups.
More war mongering @ The Hill
Gulf of toncan anyone ... Can't trust anything they say.
ReplyDeleteThe first incidence did happen, but apparently not the second.
Delete"Mr. Ushakov cited the flawed intelligence assessment from the administration of former President George W. Bush about weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq war but said he didn't want to "draw any parallels."
ReplyDeleteOther Russian officials were more direct. "The data on Assad's use of chemical weapons is fabricated just like the lies about weapons of [Saddam] Hussein's weapons of mass destruction," read a tweet on the feed of Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the Russian parliament's international relations committee. "Obama is going down the path of G. Bush."
What's new? We seem always to be on the wrong side and Russia gets it right. Grossly incompetent leadership of both parties is killing this country.
