Russia says that it could support a strike on Syria if given the support of the United Nations Security Council and undeniable proof that the al-Assad regime used chemical weapons. CNN's Phil Black reports.
That Putin is one cool customer... He seems to be one heck of a smarter than the press is giving him credit for. There is no motive for the Syrian Government to use chemical weapons, yet there is every reason for the rebel fighters (the terrorists ; al Qaeda and Hezbollah) to use them. The terrorist fighters would love to place the blame for the chemical attacks on the Syrian government, hence pulling in the USA to do the bombing on the Syrian government. Putin is right to be very suspicious of who's placing blame on the chemical weapons because it is clear the only purpose for their use is to try to get the USA involved. It is quite ironic that McCain has been so profoundly lobbying for aiding the the terrorists, there is photographic evidence of McCain with know terrorists. President Obama really needs to step back on this one and for once in his Presidency start investigations on the people pushing for the USA's possible involvement. I highly suspect things aren't on the up and up , because the same people within our borders responsible for the attacks of 9/11 are still free to commit more crimes to achieve their own personal agendas, as sadly I stated before that they surely will. If President Obama wants to do something about criminal acts that result in murder of innocent lives, he needs to hire the best un biased investigators to truly investigate 9/11 and bring to justice the traitors within our borders. Until we get them, Putin and everybody else should remain very skeptical and very suspicious. The terrorists the Syrian fighters have no problem directing a chemical attack that would involve children, in the past they have shown no regard for women, children or anything else. Putin is probably right again. I can't help but think how much farther along our country would be if the American people's electorate would have been smart enough to elect Kucinich. I voted for Obama and it's somewhat comforting to know that at least Putin is level headed. If anyone one should change their thinking it should be President Obama. Five years into his Presidency and not a mention ever again about ending Scooter Libby Justice (white collar crime). What are they holding over President Obama's head ? It's sad, I had such high hope for him to do the right things and go after the real criminals. It was the fighters using chemical weapons and Putin is right. And who ever is advising the President on this matter should be investigated.
This is brilliant thinking (smile)
