Nwogbe: You guys have already turned the thread into an anti American one , inshort right from d 0P himself. Don't let ur senses of anti American becloud your sense of reasoning. How would a sane president use chemical weapon on her peeps and u guys are saying America is playing d bully on Syria. Someone even said d UN said is d free Syrian army dat used d weapon when as a matter of fact their mandate didn't cover dat. I support d uprooting of assad asap.

Every other source is pointing at the Rebels for using Chemical weapons except the US, how on earth would you disregard evidence presented by everybody and accept that of the USA whom has been known for lying and False flag operations.

Horus:

Then the U.S should face military action from the international community after using their chemical weaapons in Vietnam. 86 million liters of Agent Orange were sprayed on Vietnam by the U.S. Do your research

This is Nigeria mentality. because USA used it in Vietnam; does it mean Syria and other countries should do the same?

UN is very weak. UN should have intervened b4 now then USA and other countries will follow. Even if Syria use atomic bomb Russia and China will be business as usual. So no need waiting for them cos they will keep selling weapons and printing their currency

frosbel:


You support WAR

This is not the position of the bible and is in direct contrast to the minsitry of Jesus.

God does not encourage warmongering in the body of Christ. We are talking about real lives here that could be lost in the tens of thousands.

"God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God." - Matthew 5:9

amen!

fewj: Reading through different comments regarding an impending war or should I say an impending U.S invasion of Syria and It sovereignty, Here are some points I think we should all note:

1. This impending invasion is a product of political turmoil, citizens of syria have rejected their government especially their president just like some other Arab nations did recently, why can't president Assad just step down, your own people don't want you anymore, you're imposing yourself on them at the cost of so many lives!!! You definitely do not have their best interest at heart!

2. This crisis didn't start today, its been on for over two years, neither the Assad regime, the U.S., Russia or even China have been able to come up with a reasonable solution and execute it to the later, Russia and China especially so far haven't done anything to mitigate the hardship being faced by Syrians through medical and food aid and anything else, instead they've been making huge profits from it buy selling more weapons to the Assad regime!!!

3. I never saw any thread here on Nairaland suggesting a solution to this crisis, or even commensurating with the Syrian people in their time of hardship for the over two years its been on

4. I also never saw any thread criticising the U.N. Security council for not doing nearly enough all this time, or even a thread mobilizing an anti Assad or even an Anti civil war rally all this time, now thousands have died!

Finally The U.S. is bold enough to initiate a military strike, tongues which have been silent to the death of people's children, parents, their lovers, spouse, uncles and aunties are now wagging.

In my opinion, the solution is very simple, Russia which has strong ties with the Assad regime should offer the Syrian president and his cohorts asylum, that would be a major game changer.

(If Russia won't, GEJ should set up a joint committee of boko haram and Mend to go and kidnap Assad , Na joke I dey o )

despite your joke, you made a million senses.

Flytefalls: I support an intervention; the Syrians who suffer need this desperately. But I can never support war, which will happen inevitably upon intervention. Seriously, who do you attack when you are unsure of the culprit? Where do you face your guns- to the areas of Syria in peaceful power or tragic destitution? This will perceptually worsen before it gets better.

This world is already locked into multiple pockets of cyclic vengence. We will never see peace until "the end".

if the US intervene forget everything about getting better. This is simply a US plot to futher distabilized the region, i won't be surprised if the sarin gas the rebels used came from the US.

thoth:

Who is the everybody?

US government works based on credible intelligence,I trust them they can't just initiate a millitary strike unless they know things will get outta hand if it continues that way...Obama is one of their president that doesn't like war,I'm sure he's absolutely convinced that that's d best solution...that man might possess a nuclear weapon that can cause genocide...

omenka:

I think the US is on point on this call. The consequences of the US standing down after what Asad did to his own people would be more dire. It would give other rogue and beligerent regimes around the world the impetus to deploy such weapons against percieved enemies.

This is gonna be unlike Iraq or Afghanistan. There would be no boots on ground, just ariel strikes at some military infrastructure to reduce Asad's capability.

People like Asad are the reason why I still insist Mubarak is a patriot!! He didn't burn his country just to maintain his grip on power.

I feel people calling for the US not to act are only doing so just to sound politically correct. I mean, why should a whole country burn just for the selfish interest of ONE MAN It simply doesn't make any sense.

And how are u so sure that it's Assad that released the chemical weapons? why should he in the first place after caging the rebels and pushing them to the wall? Even if he had to use chemical weopons wouldnt he have used them on the rebels rather than women and children as shown in the video clip? Curiously all the rebel fighters were evacuated from that area a day before the attack! Assad knew fully well that even Russia could not save him if he dare cross that red line of using chemical weapon. Notice the timing of the chemical attack, a couple of days after the syrian government had agreed to receive UN investigators. American version of the story makes no sense at all! Even before UN investigators concluded their assignment, Americans were already jumping all over the place that Syrian regime is responsible and that they have proof to that. Russia has challenged them to present the proof to the UN and they're sayin no they'll show it to their congress bunch of shameless liars!

Histrings08: US government works based on credible intelligence,I trust them they can't just initiate a millitary strike unless they know things will get outta hand if it continues that way...Obama is one of their president that doesn't like war,I'm sure he's absolutely convinced that that's d best solution...that man might possess a nuclear weapon that can cause genocide...

The same Credible Intelligence that destroyed Iraq and killed millions of women and children by stating that they posses WMD ?

I have a feeling US have gotten Iron dome on standby *watchout*.

[size=15pt]Anonymous - Syria & The Drums of War[/size]

I support it 100%. Assad had crossed de red line and he shud face de music

US government is strategically removing everyone that opposes them.
They are playing chess on the world. Remove opposition and crown a Pro-'democratic'/ American government at all cost. "Power lies in the barrel of the gun" Hitler said.
"Power lies in the nose of a tomahawk" Obama'll say.
Whichever way Syria is fighting their 'own' civil war and should be left alone while they're at it. If the will of the people is to remove Assad he will end up removed.
If America's interest is just a mere 'humanitarian intervention' like they normally call it, they should find whoever drop that chemical weapon and kill him, instead of destroying Syrian military like they want to, and leaving them vulnerable to external forces (from the Israelis maybe).
But then it's all good, afterall the world is thriving on a borrowed TIME. I leave the rest to team ETT (carry on boys.)

actually i know many syrians who are ok with assad. The theory of one man against his nation is western propaganda. I clearly remember christians calling the rebels terrorist.

[size=15pt]Syria Now... Iran's Next!!![/size]

trent9002: Does the world do nothing? Assad used chemical weapons. He has to be punished. One of the disadvantages of being a world power is doing the world's dirty jobs.

what proof do you have that assad used chemical weapons? UN personel on ground are actually hinting that the US supported rebels who are actually al quaeda terrorist used the said gas.

Assad used chemical weapon is just like how the US said iraq has weapons of mass distruction. All lies

BabaAlabi: This OP is an ediot...The fact remains that about 1300 people were gassed in their sleep. Little children died, families were wore torn apart and 2 million syrians had to flee to other countries. Definitely an intervention is needed, because it's the innocent ones that are caught up in this war. Should there be an intervention in Syria-YES.

the question is: who gassed them

NO LONG TIN: Part 2

Some people claim the Syrian rebels used the chemical weapons, but they should consider the following :

1. The Syrian government are known to possess Sarin gases.

2. Sarin gases are not like Eba in which any tom, dick and Harry can make in the kitchen, if it was Boko Haram, Hezbollah, Al queida etc would have used it.

3. The west consider Assad and the rebels as two devils

the US and the other rebel suporters also have sarin gas. The west has been giving then arms, i won't be suprising that they also gave them the gas

the same scripture says no one knows 'the end'..i wonder if u were born in the world war 1, world war 2 , cold war era, what would u have said? And i think end time is relative to one's condition...Ask people who suffer strife and casualties daily in Jos or boko haram terrorised states and they will tell u that the world had ended for a long tyme for them

Tgirl4real: Oh my! I thought this was in the religion section.


Don't get me wrong Frosbel. Whether U like it or it, this gonna happen cos we are in he endtimes...that doesn't mean I wish for souls to perish. It is prophecies being fulfilled. Scriptures encourages us to watch for the day.

I can only hope the hour of my salvation is near.

I really don't know about you, but I am tired of this crazy world and its godless system.

Come Lord Jesus!

this again is propagada, am i the so called activists who went to syria to stir a rather peacefull country Besides since when did riot become a means to unseat a president Is it not the US and co that is supplying the rebels with weopons If not for those weopons this war would have long ended.
The US lack the moral authority to even intervene because they are the reason the war is raging. They are responsible for the long war and when they strike there will be colateral damage.

I have 2 things to add in this argument

1. To the person claiming the Syrian people don't want Assad, on what evidence do u base ur claim??

I believe they don't want him because of the protest that was stage which lead to this war, because Assad sent his men to kill them (protesters) and also it's a know fact the Army are deflecting in large numbers to the rebels .

2. Rebels or terrorist don't have access to WMD (Sarin or chemical weapons in this case), if they did, I'm sure it won't be 'wasted' in Syria as Assad wants us to believe, instead it will be used by al queida in terrorizing the world.

N. B. For those supporting Assad’s claim that the rebels used chemical weapons, you should ask yourself this question? Why haven't other rebels in other countries used chemical weapons?

Are you aware it was a peaceful protests until Assad sent his men to kill the protesters, that how it degenerated to this, so if you want to blame someone leave America out of it and stop this your propaganda!!


The protest in Syria was an extension of the Arab Spring, unlike the Egyptian president who decided to step down to protect his country, Assad decided to attack/kill the protesters. Are you going to feed Me the propaganda that the Americans started/funded the Arab Spring??

Iam going to speak objectively here...I have an issue with America always been on the forefront of liberalision of coUntries with conflicts as i feel they sometimes have dubious agendas but usually one cant blame them IMO...For all the US wrongdoings, i would rather have them as the world police/superpower than china/russia as they seem to have better conscience than the aforementioned countries.he syria war has been going on for ages but not one of the so-called world powers/anti american countries stepped in to resolve the conflict... The Arab league of nations middle eastern countries which should have stepped up and resolved this issue were just barking toothlessly..Not one of the middle eastern countries did anything while thousands of syrian's were killed....And if i was Obama, i would call out China!!lemme explain...china wants to be a superpower but in crises like this they are no where to be found or are always hiding behind the back of russia..The chinese are conscienceless and would never do anything to help...So it looks quite hypocritical when America wanna steps in 3 years after the conflict began and everyone is suddenly shouting 'anti-american' protests.Where were all these countries since

NO LONG TIN: Yes, I support USA strategic and limited attack on Assad’s government.

I read a lot of comments/blogs on this issue, some people especially Muslim portray USA as the Devil and Assad and Iran as Angels, but you all have forgotten how this war started..... . Click the link below.


http://www.ynaija.com/thanks-washington-post-9-questions-you-were-too-embarrased-to-ask-about-the-syrian-war-answered/


Some sentimental /myopic people claim the US control the Syrian rebels, but after reading/clicking the link you will realize that Assad and the Syrian rebels are like two DEVILS.

I remember some Muslims blaming the USA for sponsoring the protest that lead to the removal of Mubarak, nw they blame them for the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood. HABA!!! Which 1 are we going to blame on the Egyptian people??

Ubenedictus: the US and the other rebel suporters also have sarin gas. The west has been giving then arms, i won't be suprising that they also gave them the gas

Don't be naive!!!

You are aware that chemical weapons are WMD??

Why would any government give the rebels (in which it is said al queida may be part of them) chemical weapons.

Do you honestly think, any country will risk giving chemical weapons to rebels?? Especially 1 in the middle east when we all know it could easily enter terrorist hands!!

Pls read this report, you will realize America doesn’t see the rebels as the solution, as I said before Assad and the rebels are like two devils

www.nairaland.com/1421515/9-questions-too-embarrased-ask

All i see is END TIME O God take control.....

I do not support it one bit..really do not why the US doesn't mind their business concerning other countries..
Lool imagine the US trying to attack russia that's the end of them because that country isn't their friend

PDPwayoo:

This is Nigeria mentality. because USA used it in Vietnam; does it mean Syria and other countries should do the same?

UN is very weak. UN should have intervened b4 now then USA and other countries will follow. Even if Syria use atomic bomb Russia and China will be business as usual. So no need waiting for them cos they will keep selling weapons and printing their currency

You just confessed that USA used chemical weapons in Vietnam yet you believe that it is legal to use for them. Hypocrit!. There is no evidences that Assad used chemical weapons. America claim that possessing chemical weapons is illegal but the same America have the largest stockpile of chemical weapons on the planet. This is all hypocrisy

Tgirl4real: I support it100%.

Se you don't want the world to end ni.

These are prophecies being fulfilled.

Make America attack, Russia retaliate, everything turn to yam-pepper, scatter, scatter. lol


Seriously, if that happens, we are in for a showdown.

"I see the Son of man coming in the cloud of heaven..."


Come Lord Jesus!

Seriously

You support the war which does nothing but take lives? Christ will come when he chooses to and enagaging in wars doesn't mean it's time for him, it may be signs but it could still be 50 years from today, it could be next year, heck, it could be this very minute. Pray for peace sis, not war
