    Syria; bloody hell

    Sorry, can't think of much more than that to say about this;


    Syrian 'poison gas attack' would be worst use of nerve gas in 25 years - Telegraph

      Because on wants to fight a war you can't begin.

      There seems to be some valid questions regarding this attack though. It has been pointed out by a couple of people who KNOW that if it was the nerve gas claimed the camera men and nurses would not be in fit state to do what they are doing.

        I don't think they have enough resources for us to steal. Otherwise it would be done.

        Also don't underestimate the cost of all those weapons there will be a fair number of UK and US interested parties in there mopping up money on both sides.
        when the UN says no selling nasty stuff to that dictator what its actually saying is get out the way the Weapons lords are coming to clear up...

        If you look carefully embargos are normally lifted at just the right time that the US feels its safe to send in their clowns.

          List of countries by proven oil reserves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

          Syria has less oil than the UK.

          Therefore they are not posessing weapons of mass destruction. (G W Bush hill billy accent)

                It's really fecking tulipty for the civillians who are dying in their droves and also the poor feckers having to live in camps in countries just over the border from Syria.

                I know the oil thing and I know we don't really need to be getting into another war but **** me, it's still horrific.

                  I think Russia and China are chums with Assad. Dunno who's doing the alleged chemical attacks though or who's supplying them.

                    Deffo he seems to be in bed with the Russians who are totally a law unto themselves - I'd hate to think that the so called opposition used the chemical malarkey on their own people just to get the yanks involved. But, I don't doubt it's a possibility
