the USS Maine was a lie. (no mine involved)

the HMS Lusitania sinking was a lie. (500 tons of counterban)

Pearl Harbor was a lie. (code broken for 17 months)

Korea was a lie (border raides for years)

Bosnia was a lie (in and out in two months)

Iraq was a lie (no WMD were there)

Afghanstan was a lie (the US wants minerals, oil pipeline, and opium)

Pakistan  shucks, we needed practice for the drones.

Libya was a lie. they were too prosperous.

Iran's Defence Minister Hossein Dehqan warned Tuesday that any Western military action against its ally Syria would threaten the stability and security of the region.

"In case of military action against Syria, the region's security and stability will be threatened," Dehqan said, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.

"This definitely will not be in the interest of those fanning violence," the brigadier general said, referring to backers of the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Syria crisis: Russia and China step up warning over strike

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 12:15 PM

Russia and China have stepped up their warnings against military intervention in Syria, with Moscow saying any such action would have "catastrophic consequences" for the region.

The US and its allies are considering launching strikes on Syria in response to deadly attacks last week.

Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich has called on the international community to show "prudence" over the crisis and observe international law.

"Attempts to bypass the Security Council, once again to create artificial groundless excuses for a military intervention in the region are fraught with new suffering in Syria and catastrophic consequences for other countries of the Middle East and North Africa," he said in a statement.

Russian Deputy Premier Calls West ‘Monkey With Hand Grenade’

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 12:10 PM

A firebrand Russian nationalist-turned-senior official said Tuesday that the West was acting in the Islamic world like a “monkey with a hand grenade.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s former envoy to NATO, did not elaborate on his comparison, made on his Russian-language Twitter page.

But Rogozin, who used to head a popular nationalist political party and now oversees Russia’s military industrial complex, has previously lambasted on Twitter the alleged plans of “Anglo-Saxons” to attack Syrian government forces.

The United States may launch missile strikes against the embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad as early as Thursday, NBC reported Tuesday.

What is Obama's next step in Syria? Nuke our own ships and blame Iran?

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 11:41 AM

The US Government is trapped. Having gone this far into the "Clash of Civilizations" (Actually a war between private central banking and government-issued currency, the same war America fought and won during the revolution) the US is unable to turn around and return to status quo ante. This "dollarification" of the world was an all-or-nothing deal.

Along with the realization that the world simply does not believe the US story about Assad, the White House has to realize that screaming about weapons of mass destruction is no longer a propaganda option they can use. Certainly it will not work with the planned war with Iran.

What to do?

Syria: Western Chemical Weapons Experts Cast Doubt on Obama Nerve Gas Claims

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 10:57 AM

Dan Kaszeta, a former officer in the US Army's Chemical Corps, said tell-tale signs of a chemical weapons attack were conspicuously absent from footage shot in the aftermath of the attack.

He said medics treating the victims would have been expected to suffer serious health problems after coming into direct and prolonged contact with the victims, in the absence of protective clothing.

"None of the people treating the casualties or photographing them are wearing any sort of chemical-warfare protective gear," said Kaszeta.

"Despite that, none of them seem to be harmed."

UN Spurns US Call to Withdraw Syria Inspectors as War Looms

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 10:55 AM

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon today rejected US demands to withdraw chemical weapons inspectors from Syria, with those familiar with the conversation saying he “stood firm on principle.”

US and other Western officials are desperate to retain the narrative of Syrian chemical weapons use, and seem to be anticipating the UN investigation doing serious harm to that claim.

That’s why after initial demands to allow inspectors into the site, the US suddenly reversed course when Syria agreed, insisting it was “too late.” Since then, officials have maintained that they are already convinced of Syria’s guilt because of media reports and rebel accounts, and are preparing to launch attacks in the next couple of weeks.

Military strikes on Syria 'as early as Thursday,' US officials say

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 11:17 AM

“If there is no action, we are afraid that in the coming days, not coming weeks, Bashar will use chemical weapons and chemical materials against very wide areas and, I’m afraid, to kill maybe 20,000 or 30,000 more people,” he told NBC News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel.

New poll: Syria intervention even less popular than Congress

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 9:49 AM

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has finally found something that Americans like even less than Congress: the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Syria. Only 9 percent of respondents said that the Obama administration should intervene militarily in Syria; a RealClearPolitics poll average finds Congress has a 15 percent approval rating, making the country’s most hated political body almost twice as popular.

Information Minister : US has no evidence on Syria's use of chemical weapons

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 9:49 AM

"Any aggression on Syria is illegitimate as the pretext for launching this aggression will be unfruitful, particularly that the UN team charged to investigate in the use of chemical weapons in Syria hasn't yet completed its mission and hasn't set its report," al-Zoubi said in an interview with al-Manar TV Channel on Monday.

He reiterated that the "US has no evidence on Syria' use of chemical weapons because Syria did not use it", accusing the US of fabricating the evidence as it had already done in Iraq.
