The Syrian "Revolution": A Farce from Beginning to End

I have seen Iran make progress toward democracy, women's rights and concessions to the West. These should be encouraged so that any war is prevented.
I like the Iranians and hate the thought of fighting them. Build friendships not hatred is what I would encourage.
Whereas Assad has always left me feeling like we are looking at another Hitler.

You raise interesting points.

Depending on what people’s thoughts are on Al Jazeera…I read this today:

Just the headline says enough. "Iran says US will suffer if Syria is attacked" . President Obama should go and have a chat with Supreme Leader Khamenei on his way back from Putin and present him with the evidence.
If the Iranians are God fearing as he, Supreme Leader Khamenei, should be won't the truth convince him?

Blessed are the peacemakers, and now is the opportune time.

 

The evidence will probably show that Sarin was used.
It won't show who used it, so people on Assad's side will continue to claim the rebels did it.
If any remained, it might give some indications about the method of manufacture.
The evidence was taken nine days after the attack, so may not be useful at all.

@wegs
The Iranian Aatollahs tend to be bombastic.
I wouldn't be surprised if what Khamenei said wasn't toned down considerably.
It was probably more like "We will rain down the fires of hell from the heavens and destroy them utterly"
"America will suffer" sounds positively benign.

 

Bells, my answer to your question(s) is : I am not entirely sure that I "must" be asked even one time.

Bells, since I answered your question(s), may I ask a couple of you?
....... 1.) Why exactly do (or to use your vernacular "must") you consider the information/view/opinion/Posting "crap" ?
....... 2.) Why exactly do (or to use your vernacular "must") you feel so compelled to ask that I stop Posting the information/views/opinions in a Free and Open Forum ?

Bells, if your Post is truthful and the count means that much to you, why not keep a running tally and Post it for interested parties?

I answered your questions, openly and honestly.
Will you, please, answer mine, openly and honestly ?

No, really. Will you, please, answer mine, openly and honestly ?

 

Well I hope for all our sakes there is real evidence. Proof one side did it, and it overcomes this toing and froing.

 

Good day. In the interest of providing as close to the factual, validated and true information that is currently available, I Post the following Links.
I have read the pages Linked, and although some do express an editorial comment(s)...they are not my, dmoe, repeat, not my comments - I am Posting only for the sake of the "data" contained within them.
I have read the pages Linked, and they seem to me, dmoe, to be "free" of any "harmful" or "offensive" content. However, I did not, I repeat, I, dmoe, did not click on every Link on every Page!
Nor did I, dmoe, I repeat, nor did I click on every Link of every Linked Page...so...

So...at the risk of becoming some sort of "virtual social Pariah" - but more in the interest of supplying pertinent information on the sales/exports of Military Arms/Equipment/Supplies to the counties/nations of the world...here are some Links :

....... - "The 'Big Six' arms exporters" - below -
....... - http://www.amnesty.org/en/news/big-six-arms-exporters-2012-06-11

....... - "The Arms Trade is Big Business" - below -
....... - http://www.globalissues.org/article...big-business#GlobalArmsSalesBySupplierNations

....... - "Arms sales: who are the world's 100 top arms producers?" - below -
....... - http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/mar/02/arms-sales-top-100-producers

....... - "Arms industry" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_industry#World.27s_largest_arms_exporters

Whether or not these countries/corporations have a "vested" interest in creating or maintaining "wars"...you will have to ask them.
I do NOT "assume" nor "presume" anything at all about these countries or corporations.
I do however believe that these countries/corporations make these sales for a "profit" of some kind.

 

So your point is, that Arms are big business?

 

Captain Kremmen, since you placed a (?) question mark at the end of your Post #689, it would seem to me, dmoe, that other than the Post being merely sarcasm or rhetoric, it may, possibly, and I repeat, possibly be a question.

So, I, dmoe, will attempt, I repeat, attempt to clarify the Point of my Post #688 :

The "Global Military Industrial Complex" and also "Wars" are "Big Business" - and not just for Russia.

"Big Business", more often than not, operates on the "Business Model" of maintaining or hopefully increasing their "Business Revenues/Profits".
What a country/corporation does to maintain or increase these "Revenues/Profits" is at the sole discretion of said countries/corporations.

Captain Kremmen, so, have I in any way clarified what my "... point is"?

And, if so, may I, dmoe, inquire as to why you, Captain Kremmen, felt the need for the query in your Post #689 ?

 

My point was that you didn't make a point.
You can't just link to stuff, and expect people to read your mind.

What are you saying? Just say it.

 

Maybe so, but all the more reason to act unilaterally.

 

Captain Kremmen, I have stated and restated my point(s), and done all that I can to clarify and explain those point(s)!

Captain Kremmen, if my maximum mental abilities to coherently express, explain and clarify my Posted views/point(s)/statements are so far below your minimum threshold for understanding...well then...?

Captain Kremmen, you must have far greater mental powers than I, dmoe, possess...for instance, I did not even know that it was possible for any human being to read any other human beings mind...let alone, expect that ability in another human being!

Captain Kremmen, perhaps, and I, dmoe, repeat, perhaps you may deign to use your obviously superior mind reading ability to read my thoughts/point(s)/views with said ability - even, as I stated before, I did not even know that it was possible for any human being to read any other human beings mind...let alone, expect that ability in another human being - with your superior abilities, I cannot assume nor presume that you will fail to achieve it.

Captain Kremmen, if you are, for some reason unable to read my mind, it could only therefore be attributed to my inferior mental facilities, would that not be the only possible explanation?

Captain Kremmen, in closing I must humbly state that I am sorry that my inferiority does not allow discourse with someone as superior as you.

Actually, this Post itself is probably below your minimum...threshold of understanding...

If so...meh!

 

I think you are on the right track with all of this.

 

Stop pretending to be dumb, you are a smart woman. USA is starting this war on its own and before it gets permission from the government branches, it needs to sway public opinion with every possible option possible. If that means to kill innocent people just to start a war, that is the length US is going at.

What a shame USA is able to control its citizens that they blindly believe every lie they are being told. What a shame that other countries are joining this lie to protect their own companies and their subsiduaries in Syria. Bells, in Syria the so called "rebels" are terrorists from Al Quida, the same people that attacked WTC, are capable of using chemical weapons to stage what appears to be a government attack.

 

Yes obviously a person watching CNN and FOX all day long as their "reliable information" source is on "right track" of how world actually is.

 

Is there a conspiracy channel? What do you watch?

 

I don't watch tv, its all crap anyways. I compare different news websites for information. And conspiracies is a tall misplaced and misused word.
