Russia Warns America Over Interference In Syria by seanet02: 8:39pm On Aug 25, 2013
MOSCOW: Military action against the Syrian regime would be a "tragic mistake", Russia said on Sunday, warning the West not to pre-empt the results of a UN probe into alleged deadly chemical attacks.

Moscow warned there was a danger of history repeating itself a decade after the US-led invasion of Iraq, which it opposed, and urged the United States to refrain from any reckless decision.

"We strongly urge those who, by attempting to impose their own results on the UN experts, are raising the possibility of a military operation in Syria to use their common sense and refrain from committing a tragic mistake," foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement.

"All this is reminiscent of events from a decade ago, when the United States bypassed the UN and used fallacious information on the presence in Iraq of weapons of mass destruction to launch an adventure, the consequences of which are known to all," he said.

The United States and Britain led the military invasion of Iraq that toppled long-time dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003.

A UN mission had failed to find any of the weapons of mass destructions Saddam was suspected of possessing but the Iraqi strongman was known to have repeatedly used chemical weapons.

The United Nations said on Sunday its inspectors in Syria could begin work as early as Monday, after Damascus agreed to the probe Sunday during a visit by top UN official Angela Kane.

Doctors Without Borders has said 355 people died last week of "neurotoxic" symptoms, after the opposition claimed regime forces unleashed chemicals east and southwest of Damascus last Wednesday causing more than 1,300 deaths.

The regime has denied the charges and in turn accused the rebels of using chemical arms.

Russia took credit for the deal allowing the UN inspectors to begin their work, saying it was the result of "relentless efforts" by Moscow with the Syrian regime.

"We are satisfied with the Syrian leadership's constructive approach towards ensuring an effective cooperation with the UN mission," the spokesman said.

Washington, which has said that evidence President Bashar al-Assad's regime used chemical weapons would cross a red line and warrant tougher action, said the Syrian offer was "too late to be credible".

Officials said US President Barack Obama, who held crisis talks on Saturday with top aides, would make an "informed decision" about how to respond to an "indiscriminate" chemical weapons attack.

One official told AFP that based on the reported number of victims and their symptoms, and US and foreign intelligence, "there is very little doubt at this point that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in this incident."

Russia -- which together with Iran and China has supported Assad throughout the 29-month-old Syrian crisis -- urged the rebel camp to guarantee the safety of the UN team lead by professor Aake Sellstroem.

"It is important that the armed opposition controlling part of Eastern Ghouta ensure that the UN mission is able to operate safely and refrain from the kind of armed provocation witnessed against UN observers last summer," Lukashevich said.

Opposition le
aders already said on Friday that UN inspectors would have "unfettered" access to areas under rebel control such as Eastern Ghouta on the outskirts of Damascus to investigate the use of chemical weapons.

The chemical attack on Syrians is despicable, and unfortunate. The perpetrators of this act shall never know peace.
Having said that, I seriously doubt that Al-Assad is that crazy as to launch chemical weapons against his own folks. This could be the work of 5th columnists in the Syrian govt or military.

This situation is too complex...it is easy to try to paint ASsad as the devil but I doubt he would be foolish enough to authorize chemical attacks on the citizenry knowing that it could lead to a western assault, I believe certain elements in his govt working with the rebels may have spearheaded the attack to induce a western invasion, Assad's no saint but if he was so unpopular like the others, he would have been toppled since, The US should realise that the Russians have warships orbiting syria and a US attack could trigger a 'coldd war' scenario

They can do whatever but do they have what it takes as at today to upstage the US. This I seriously doubt. what interest does America really have in Georgia? Doubt if there was any serious proping from them.
However, the allies of America in the Middle east that includes Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, Turkey etc want Assad gone. I doubt if America will go alone, they may probably push NATO into it and that is an alliance Russia still don't have a solution for. China will just continue to look like Zombie.

Nothing is impossible from the kind of leaders like Assad and the ruling class who desire to remain in power by any means possible.

It's unfortunate. With or without Assad, killings will continue. His greed to force himself Ib his people to me is the root cause. Surely he must go. I forsee a very bleak future for this country.
