Barring last-minute hold-ups, debkafile’s military sources report the American operation is scheduled to start Friday night, early Saturday Aug. 30-31.

In the past 24 hours, the US Air Force finished a major buildup at the big US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. B-1B bombers and F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets were brought over from other US Mid East air facilities on the Omani island of Masirah and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean

These squadrons were not assigned to the US military strike against Syria, say our military sources, but will stand ready to move in should unforeseen complications in the course of the US missile assault on Syria call for the introduction of extra assets from outside.

3rd world war boiling up, Russia will be on red alert now waiting to strike america, and I spell a military retaliation from America, I just pity Russia. Cos this fight them fit no finish am

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-08-28/china-joins-russia-warning-syria-strike-would-have-catastrophic-consequences

Until now, the loudest and most material opponent to a Syrian invasion by the "liberating" powers was Russia. Moments ago, China joined the anti-western axis.

BBC reports: "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."

BEIRUT (Reuters) - People in Damascus stocked up on supplies on Wednesday and some left homes close to potential targets as U.S. officials described plans for multi-national strikes on Syria that could last for days.

United Nations chemical weapons experts completed a second field trip to rebel-held suburbs, looking for evidence of what - and who - caused an apparent poison gas attack that residents say killed hundreds of people a week ago.

But as U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon appealed for unity among world powers and sought more time for the inspectors to complete their work, Washington and its European and Middle East allies said their minds were made up and that President Bashar al-Assad must face retribution for using banned weapons against his people.

A military intervention in Syria is a big mistake

boniflex: 3rd world war boiling up, Russia will be on red alert now waiting to strike america, and I spell a military retaliation from America, I just pity Russia. Cos this fight them fit no finish am

Russia alone cannot fight america, they may need help from north-korea to achieve that, but i don't see that happening

A grim “urgent action memorandum” issued today from the office of President Putin to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is ordering a “massive military strike” against Saudi Arabia in the event that the West attacks Syria.

According to Kremlin sources familiar with this extraordinary “war order,” Putin became “enraged” after his early August meeting with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan who warned that if Russia did not accept the defeat of Syria, Saudi Arabia would unleash Chechen terrorists under their control to cause mass death and chaos during the Winter Olympics scheduled to be held 7-23 February 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

Lebanese newspaper As-Safir confirmed this amazing threat against Russia saying that Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord by stating: “I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us.”

Prince Bandar went on to say that Chechens operating in Syria were a pressure tool that could be switched on an off. “These groups do not scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will have no role in Syria’s political future.”

London’s The Telegraph News Service further reported today that Saudi Arabia has secretly offered Russia a sweeping deal to control the global oil market and safeguard Russia’s gas contracts, if the Kremlin backs away from the Assad regime in Syria, an offer Putin replied to by saying “Our stance on Assad will never change. We believe that the Syrian regime is the best speaker on behalf of the Syrian people, and not those liver eaters” [Putin said referring to footage showing a Jihadist rebel eating the heart and liver of a Syrian soldier HERE], and which Prince Bandar in turn warned that there can be “no escape from the military option” if Russia declines the olive branch.

War at last

Israel ordered the call-up of hundreds of army reservists today in preparation for possible Syrian retaliation should the US launch strikes against the Assad regime.

One Israeli government official, who asked to remain anonymous, said after a meeting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet that intelligence assessments suggest there is only a “low chance” Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad will target Israel.

Independent Israeli specialists on Syria concurred, arguing that the Syrian leader is aware that opening a front with the vastly superior Israeli military could have devastating consequences for the survival of his regime.

“I think it’s unlikely he’ll decide to strike heavily against Israel, but I can’t rule it out,” said Moshe Maoz, emeritus professor of Middle East Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Another goof by the usa. The cost of another needless war on the world economy will be more devastating this time around.

Horus: A military intervention in Syria is a big mistake

what big mistake?? keep calm and watch innocent Childrens blood spilt?? for how long will the war continue?? Somebody must stand up and put End to it. Kudos to Obama and the western Power house....

A possibility of multiple air strike by the Us is imminent. How babaric for a govt to turn against its ppl in such a manner. Imagine a world without United state and its allied, chaotic i guess. After America is done with them, ppl like them will learn the value of human life. I don't see russia or china opposing US from bringing sanity to this uncircumcised syria govt. A confirmed report from israeli intelligence had provided undeniable evidence that suggested the Assad govt actualy used the chemical weapon. The wait is on the UN investigation which eventually will align with the israeli report. The govt had shot itself on feet, hence the repercusion. I await big mouthed iran and its supporters to stop this future attack.

William Hague has played down the prospects of an imminent attack on Syria, saying talks about the crisis could go on at the United Nations "over the coming days".

Speaking after a meeting of Britain's National Security Council, the foreign secretary said the UN security council should "shoulder its responsibility" over Syria; if it failed to do so, however, Britain and and its allies would act on their own.

"This is the first use of chemical warfare in the 21st century," he said. "It has to be unacceptable. We have to confront something that is a war crime, something that is a crime against humanity."

Russia dont like United States because of the world power within the free world of America. Russia allied with China because of China fast growing Economy in China....

When a Giant wakes up,someone must go into hiding.

Assad always seemed peaceful before the Arab Spring.The devil in him was awakened and now countless of Syrian Citizens are wasted.

Let's watch once more and see who proves again to be the Conquerer of the World.

Yes,Russia is a Chicken.

Horus: A military intervention in Syria is a big mistake

Mistake, how? Military intervention will be detrimental to any country who feels it can carry out attrocities of such magnitude against its ppl and get away with it. You fail to unerstand the consequence of using a ban item capable of mass destruction and expect the world to look another side. This war is justifiable from all aspect. I perceived you are muslim sypathiser, hence your post. Govt that lost the value of human existence must be paid in its own coin.

F.uc.k Russia, That country is the one behind all the Evil Assad regime is doing, i thought Chemical is not from that f.uc.king country

And I wonder if the rest humans can see making peace by fight war as wrong thing to do?

With the bold, you have shown that your brain isn't 'straight'.

Just 12 pieces of S400 are required to fully protect Damascus from ANY attacks from your allied forces.

emmysenior: And I wonder if the rest humans can see making peace by fight war as wrong thing to do?

The possibility of russia or china ever engaging America in war is fallacy. These countries have come a long way. What binds them together outweigh what seek to separate them. I cannot rule out war by proxy among them but to have russia throwing missiles into u.s for attacking syria is one dream iran and its supporters must cease dreaming. Russia and china involvement is exploit every possible avenue to make more money. I pity the lot iran who depend on these two nations whose interest is economic expanssion to stop the U.S. Syrian govt will know the test of hell b4 it gets there. Having a powerful nation like United state is always a blessing to the world, bringing check and balancing to dangerious regime is always a welcome idea. I believe the silence of syria will silent iran from making further threat on the israel.

Wizee: Russia alone cannot fight america, they may need help from north-korea to achieve that, but i don't see that happening

BE Warned! The Enemy of your Enemy is ur friend. North-Korea may decide to join anybody just to fight the US.

Military strike CANCELLED! They would wait for the UN report!

I knew they were bluffing, today's Russia is Putin's Russia and the Iranians. China has also joined the axis against the west.

Syria is not Libya, Syria has enough to cause some damage. And with Iran, Syria has a capable ally.

Stop chatting nonsense about value of human existence. America is constantly killing children and women in Afghanistan using drones with impunity and you are here writing nonsense. So, everybody that's is not in agreement with the evil USA must be a Muslim? is that what they told you on CNN?

What is all these nonsense you are writing here? Are you insane or what? I wish ASUU can just call off this strike action.

Warmonger!, the war will spread to all neighbouring countries and more innocent Childrens will dies.

Horus: A military intervention in Syria is a big mistake

I totally agree with you,I feel the decision for a military intervention by U.S, UK and France is hasty and miscalculated. The UN Security Council is the only body that can authorize a military intervention in the face of any violation of its charter by any party...The U.S intervention will only lead to more civilian casualties and stretch the already over stretched region with refugees and spread of extremist from Arab nations against U.S and Israeli interest....My expectation was to see a more restricted use of weapons and a no fly zone....They have to allow the UN inspectors to conclude their investigation and any military intervention without the vote of the UN Security Council is a violation of the sovereignty of Syria.

3rd world war? Did u just arrive planet earth?
Abi i skip one class 4 sch?

@op so what re we sopposed to do naw? Run to our villages?

Na wa oo, so the end of the world is already this close. Wars and rumors of wars as was predicted in the bible is about to happen before our eyes.

If only african leaders will wake up to see that the next opportunity of greatness is coming to africa. After the so called developed nations destroy themselves in wars, africa will be the only part that still has natural resources untapped.

But our leaders are blinded by greed and corruption and Africa might miss this opportunity again.

eggheaders: Another goof by the usa. The cost of another needless war on the world economy will be more devastating this time around.

Thank you. I thought withdrawing from Iraq would give us a chance to rebuild our economy, not knowing that we'd be wasting time and money with other international affairs.
