Newsnight: Assad confirms he has chemical weapons!

[BKM-]

I wonder how the indigenous Christian minorities are holding up there. They've always been a punching bag for angry muslims who want to get rid of their frustration somehow.

[New England]

So what do you think about Assad?

New England: "Mmmm, I love those burritos."

I keed, I keed. Pretty hard keeping track of all the wacky dictator types. Assad, Mugabe, Chavez, Castro (Raul,) Kim Jong Un, Jintao, Crown Prince Abdullah, Al-Bashir, Obama (only slightly kidding,) etc.



Derp, but it's the only nation with these sorts of weapons that's currently slaughtering it's own citizens and ignoring worldwide condemnation.

f#ckin right. got to love burritos

[New England]

does his country manufacture these things or is he buying them from somebody?

crazy as it sounds, it's probably better if he's producing them. if somebody is making/stealing these weapons on a scale that they can sell and profit from them you've got to think there are are a lot of them.


who are his enemies exactly?

[LeG00N]

The yanks and the rest of the western world should just let Assad be.

Whatever happens happens

[Terrel]

No one in the Middle East should be calling for Americas help.

The Muslim nations surround Syria and most importantly, Arabia should be intervening to stop the tyranny. With America entering Syria it will only cause more problems and mass death of innocent people. Either directly or indirectly.

Besides the yanks helping you always comes at a price.
They're like the Mafia

how long have you lived in america?

[Terrel]

but iraq and afghanistan turned out really well after US help....didn't they?

In which way?

More people have died in those countries after America got involved than before. Unfortunately you only have access to western media and do not get to see what takes place there on a daily basis. Admittedly, things have calmed down now but how many years has it taken to reach this point?

In Iraq, the native army and police force that was put together by the army were known to have kidnap and in hundreds of cases openly murder a mass of innocent Sunni people for just that reason, they were Sunni.

They would openly go into workplaces, ask to see ID cards and kill anyone with a Sunni sounding name. America has not done shiz but cause a huge amount of death. Again, either directly or indirectly. This is just one story.

You're fed complete bullshiz through the western media and choose to soak it in like it's fact but the simple truth is, as a nation, both were better off as they were.

Do you even know how many are reported to have been killed?

Agree. This has to be fixed within the region.
