Lordlexy: The bombardment of syria will not result to any ww3. Assad has decided to remain deviance and he will suffer the consequences. He hoped in fragile islamic nation iran to come to her rescue, but even a nation 10 times as strong as iran can never withstand the fire power of the United State. I only pity the arab state with their poor propaganda who feels iran is in the league of the United state hence it outburst against U.s. By the time America finishes up with syria and properly face iran, then the remain arab world will realised that, you don't make threat on United State and not get burnt.

Is that so? So tell me, how did the American military and its allies fair during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan? And you do know there's a reason the Persian kingdom/modern IRAN has not been invaded for thousands of yyears, right?

Okija_juju: America is not going into Syria..


They are simply there to;

1. Enforce a No fly-zone
2. Destroy all Chemical weapons bunkers.
3. Push back Hezbollah
4. Stop arms from entering Syria.
5. Fvck Assad up..

Russia & China aint gonna do shit. Iran neither. [/b]


Point of correction: No one is enforcing any damn no-fly zone. To push back Hezbollah, the west needs boots on the ground, so goodluck with that (remember Iraq). With arms flowing in from Russia, it'll be fun to see how the Americans will turn back Russian merchant fleets escourted by naval warships bound for the Russian Naval base at Tarus (the west couldnt stop the Russians for 2 damn years).

It doesn't matter. There are defense systems in place. May not work 100 percent but the ship is not a sitting duck like you'll think.

You should watch Military channel sometimes when you get a chance.


That the carrier's escorts act as goalkeepers doesnt mean that its invulnerable. You're talking about a missile that isnt just supersonic but also sceams the surface as it homes on target. Count out your antiaircraft missiles, and pray the Phalanx guns for tge escort ships and carrier are that good cos that Yakhort missile will hit home. Hell, even the older Silkworm SSM and the RUSSIAN-indian Brahmos will get the job done.

Zane2point4:

You are totally wrong,just like someone said here an aircraft carrier is never a sitting duck,they operate as a pack of wolfs,i don't even have the time to start analysing military operations of a carrier for you,a single s-300 AMD can intercept and destroy 20 missiles been thrown at it what made u think a carrier doesn't hv a more sophisticated defence system do u know how much a carrier can cost?you will have to engage the aircraft on board the carrier before even thinking of going near to you missile launch pad.Try and be rational you may dislike USA but it doesn't stop them from being world power and its obvious iran is no match for israel talkless of USA who much of it budget is spent on military hardware.
Iran capital tehran is almost landlocked by a desert perhaps a carrier might not be a game changer for the war,bt still that war is just like a proxy war,you don't throw everything you have.




Well i may be wrong,just has i think you are wrong Also.

You Said they operate as a pack of wolfs.

Agreed they Operate has a pack of Wolfs,do you think Only US Aircraft Carrier Operate has that,All warship operate has that and are given protections by other warship sailing with them,most countries knows they are vulnerable to attacks, that why they have to be given protection,Countries saying they are Vulnerable to Attacks knows that,they knew they sail together with destroyers or any other warships,this simple doesn't protect them from attacks.Iran saying 100 blade runner speed boat per ship and suicide boat knows that,which simply means each destroyer get 100 blade runner speedboat and suicide boat to take on before given protection to the Aircraft Carrier and don't forget they also possess Destroyer ,it also means one destroyer plus 100 blade runner speed boat and 100 suicide speed boat making a total of 201 per US destroyer protecting the Aircraft carrier,i will be surprised if you still say the destroyer is going to take them All out,let Assume i agree with you that the destroyer take them all out,don't you think before taking them out the Aircraft Carrier would have been hit by the 200 is facing?



You also said,a single s-300 AMD can intercept and destroy 20 missiles been thrown at it

Alright Let Assume S300 was build to engage Aircraft and Missile,do you know they are not build to attack 20 missile at a time,they may have opportunity to track up to 100 missile but can't engage them all at a time,kindly Google it,they can only engage 12 missile at a time and they take five minute to develop which means the other 8 missile will hit target if 12 is taken out by s300,Are you saying s300 can take out 20 multiple US missile at a time,your answer is simply going to be No because it was shot by US.




what made u think a carrier doesn't hv a more sophisticated defence system do u know how much a carrier can cost?

US military shouldn't have gave them protection by deploying destroyers and others to Sail with them if they have sophisticated weapons and cost a lot to build,Now does cost of building Aircraft carrier play any role in it being Attack? and There is no where i said they don't have defense system,what's am saying is they are vulnerable.


you will have to engage the aircraft on board the carrier before even thinking of going near to you missile launch pad

i know Aircraft carrier have fighter jets on them and you should also know that countries facing them have fighter jets to engage them on Air leaving room for the 200 attacking each destroyers and the Aircraft carrier.

Try and be rational you may dislike USA but it doesn't stop them from being world power.


I have to reserved my comment on this because there's no place i said i dislike USA but since this is your conclusion because i said the Aircraft Carriers are Useless,i don't think i need to respond to it.


its obvious iran is no match for israel talkless of USA who much of it budget is spent on military hardware.

i guess you don't know much about US military budget,much is not spend on Military Hardware,Only china is spending More of it's budget on Military reason US is complaining about china rise in Military.

Has anyone heard the evidence they(west) have against Assad?

The Turkish General Directorate of Security … seized 2 kg of sarin gas in the city of Adana in the early hours of yesterday morning. The chemical weapons were in the possession of Al Nusra terrorists believed to have been heading for Syria. Haaretz reported on March 24th, “Jihadists, not Assad, apparently behind reported chemical attack in Syria“. UN investigator Carla Del Ponte said that there is strong evidence that the rebels used chemical weapons, but that there is not evidence that the government used such weapons: There is also evidence that the rebels have recently used chemical weapons.




The yanks got intel from the Israelis about the intercepted call from a high ranking officer in the Syrian government. And apparently this evidence and youtube videos are what the almighty western superpowers have against Assad. There is blog by UK MP, a good read for those being brainwashed by the popular western media:






The Troodos Conundrum
By Craig Murray

The GCHQ listening post on Mount Troodos in
Cyprus is arguably the most valued asset which
the UK contributes to UK/US intelligence
cooperation. The communications intercept
agencies, GCHQ in the UK and NSA in the US,
share all their intelligence reports (as do the CIA and MI6). Troodos is valued enormously by the
NSA. It monitors all radio, satellite and microwave
traffic across the Middle East, ranging from Egypt
and Eastern Libya right through to the Caucasus.
Even almost all landline telephone communication
in this region is routed through microwave links at some stage, picked up on Troodos. Troodos is highly effective – the jewel in the crown
of British intelligence. Its capacity and efficiency,
as well as its reach, is staggering. The US do not
have their own comparable facility for the Middle
East. I should state that I have actually been
inside all of this facility and been fully briefed on its operations and capabilities, while I was head of the
FCO Cyprus Section in the early 1990s. This is
fact, not speculation. It is therefore very strange, to say the least, that
John Kerry claims to have access to
communications intercepts of Syrian military and
officials organising chemical weapons attacks,
which intercepts were not available to the British
Joint Intelligence Committee. On one level the explanation is simple. The
intercept evidence was provided to the USA by
Mossad, according to my own well placed source
in the Washington intelligence community.
Intelligence provided by a third party is not
automatically shared with the UK, and indeed Israel specifies it should not be. But the inescapable question is this. Mossad have
nothing comparable to the Troodos operation. The
reported content of the conversations fits exactly
with key tasking for Troodos, and would have
tripped all the triggers. How can Troodos have
missed this if Mossad got it? The only remote possibility is that all the conversations went on a
purely landline route, on which Mossad have a
physical wire tap, but that is very unlikely in a
number of ways - not least nowadays the purely
landline route. Israel has repeatedly been involved in the Syrian
civil war, carrying out a number of illegal bombings
and missile strikes over many months. This
absolutely illegal activity by Israel- which has killed
a great many civilians, including children - has
brought no condemnation at all from the West. Israel has now provided “intelligence” to the
United States designed to allow the United States
to join in with Israel’s bombing and missile
campaign. The answer to the Troodos Conundrum is simple.
Troodos did not pick up the intercepts because
they do not exist. Mossad fabricated them. John
Kerry’s “evidence” is the shabbiest of tricks. More
children may now be blown to pieces by massive
American missile blasts. It is nothing to do with humanitarian intervention. It is, yet again, the
USA acting at the behest of Israel.

ТОS-1A Russian 24-barrel multiple rocket launcher

When Western forces engage the Syrian army you can be assured that it will be nothing like the 1991 conflict in Iraq when a hundred thousand of Saddam Hussein’s soldiers surrendered without firing a shot. Nor will it be a no-fly zone free-for-all where air forces will be able to target military assets as they did in Libya without being challenged. No, this time will be different. Russia supplied Syria with state-of-the-art 24-Barrell rocket launchers ranked as the most developed artillery weapon of its kind. Syria is armed with Russian weapons that have never been seen before in the Middle East including computer guided smart missiles that never miss their target. Russia also supplied Syria with Skean 5 ground-to-sea missiles that are capable of hitting and sinking any target up to 250 km off the Syrian coast.

The United States, which has deployed its CBW
arsenal against the Philippines, Puerto Rico,
Vietnam, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos,
Cambodia, Cuba, Haitian boat people and
Canada, plus exposure of hundreds of thousands
of unwitting US citizens to an astonishing array of germ agents and toxic chemicals, killing dozens
of people. The US experimentation with bio-weapons goes
back to the distribution of cholera-infect blankets
to American Indian tribes in the 1860s. In 1900,
US Army doctors in the Philippines infected five
prisoners with a variety of plague and 29
prisoners with Beriberi. At least four of the subjects died. In 1915, a doctor working with
government grants exposed 12 prisoners in
Mississippi to pellagra, an incapacitating disease
that attacks the central nervous system. After World War I, the United States went on a
chemical weapons binge, producing millions of
barrels of mustard gas and Lewisite. Thousands
of US troops were exposed to these chemical
agents in order to “test the efficacy of gas masks
and protective clothing”. The Veterans Administration refused to honor disability claims
from victims of such experiments. The Army also
deployed mustard gas against anti-US protesters
in Puerto Rico and the Philippines in the 1920s
and 1930s. In 1931, Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, then under
contract with the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Investigations, initiated his horrific
Puerto Rico Cancer Experiments, infecting
dozens of unwitting subjects with cancer cells.At
least thirteen of his victims died as a result. Rhoads went on to headof the US Army
Biological Weapons division and to serve on the
Atomic Energy Commission, where he oversaw
radiation experiments on thousands of US
citizens. In memos to the Department of Defense,
Rhoads expressed his opinion that Puerto Rican dissidents could be “eradicated” with the
judicious use of germ bombs. In 1942, US Army and Navy doctors infected 400
prisoners in Chicago withmalaria in experiments
designed to get “a profile of the disease and
develop a treatment for it.” Most of the inmates
were black and none was informed of the risks of
the experiment. Nazi doctors on trial at Nuremberg cited the Chicago malaria
experiments as part of their defense. At the close of World War II, the US Army put on
its payroll, Dr. Shiro Ishii, the head of the
Imperial Army of Japan’s bio-warfare unit. Dr.
Ishii had deployed a wide range of biological and
chemical agents against Chinese and Allied
troops. He also operated a large research center in Manchuria,where he conducted bio-weapons
experiments on Chinese, Russian and American
prisoners of war. Ishii infected prisoners with
tetanus; gave them typhoid-laced tomatoes;
developed plague-infected fleas; infected women
with syphilis; performed dissections on live prisoners; and exploded germ bombs over
dozens of men tied to stakes. In a deal hatched by
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Ishii turned over more
than 10,000 pages of his “research findings”to
the US Army, avoided prosecution for war crimes
and was invited to lecture at Ft. Detrick, the US Army bio-weapons center in Frederick,
Maryland. In 1950 the US Navy sprayed large quantities of
serratia marcescens, a bacteriological agent, over
San Francisco, promoting an outbreak of
pneumonia-like illnesses and causing the death of
at least one man, Ed Nevins. A year later, Chinese Premier Chou En-lai
charged that the US military and the CIA had
used bio-agents against North Korea and China.
Chou produced statements from 25 US prisoners
of war backing him his claims that the US had
dropped anthrax contaminated feathers, mosquitoes and fleas carrying Yellow Fever and
propaganda leaflets spiked with cholera over
Manchuria and North Korea. From 1950 through 1953, the US Army released
chemical clouds over six US and Canadian cities.
The tests were designed to test dispersal patterns
of chemical weapons. Army records noted that
the compounds used over Winnipeg, Canada,
where there were numerous reports of respiratory illnesses, involved cadmium, a highly
toxic chemical. In 1951 the US Army secretly contaminated the
Norfolk Naval Supply Centerin Virginia with
infectious bacteria. One type was chosen because
blackswere believed to be more susceptible than
whites. A similar experiment was undertaken
later that year at Washington, DC’s National Airport. The bacteria was later linked to food and
blood poisoning and respiratory problems. Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida were
the targets of repeatedArmy bio-weapons
experiments in 1956 and 1957. Army CBW
researchers released millions of mosquitoes on
the two towns in order to test the ability of
insects to carry and deliver yellow fever and dengue fever. Hundreds of residents fell ill,
suffering from fevers, respiratory distress,
stillbirths, encephalitis and typhoid. Army
researchers disguised themselves as public health
workers in order photograph and test the
victims. Several deaths were reported. In 1965 the US Army and the Dow Chemical
Company injected dioxin into 70 prisoners (most
of them black) at the Holmesburg State Prison in
Pennsylvania. The prisoners developed severe
lesions which went untreated for seven months.
A year later, the US Army set about the most ambitious chemical warfare operation in history. From 1966 to 1972, the United States dumped
more than 12 million gallonsof Agent Orange (a
dioxin-powered herbicide) over about 4.5 million
acresof South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The
government of Vietnam estimate the civilian
casualties from Agent Orange at more than 500,000. The legacy continues with high levels
of birth defects in areas that were saturated with
the chemical. Tens of thousands of US soldiers
were also the victims of Agent Orange. In a still classified experiment, the US Army
sprayed an unknown bacterial agent in the New
York Subway system in 1966. It is not known if
the test caused any illnesses. A year later, the CIA placed a chemical substance
in the drinking water supply of the Food and
Drug Administration headquarters in
Washington, DC. The test was designed to see if
it was possible to poison drinking water with LSD
or other incapacitating agents. In 1969, Dr. D.M. McArtor, the deputy director
for Research and Technologyfor the Department
of Defense, asked Congress to appropriate $10
millionfor the development of a synthetic
biological agent that would be resistant” to the
immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative
freedom from infectious disease”. In 1971 the first documented cases of swine fever
in the western hemisphere showed up in Cuba. A
CIA agent later admitted that he had been
instructed to deliver the virus to Cuban exiles in
Panama, who carried the virus into Cuba in
March of 1991. This astounding admission received scant attention in the US press. In 1980, hundreds of Haitian men, who had been
locked up in detention camps in Miami and
Puerto Rico, developed gynecomasia after
receiving “hormone” shots from US doctors.
Gynecomasia is a condition causing males to
developfull-sized female breasts. In 1981, Fidel Castro blamed an outbreak of
dengue fever in Cuba on the CIA. The fever killed
188 people, including 88 children. In 1988, a
Cuban exile leader named Eduardo Arocena
admitted “bringing some germs” into Cuba in
1980. Four years later an epidemic of dengue fever
struck Managua, Nicaragua.Nearly 50,000
people came down with the fever and dozens
died. This was the first outbreak of the disease in
Nicaragua. It occurred at the height of the CIA’s
war against the Sandinista government and followed a series of low-level “reconnaissance”
flights over the capital city. In 1996, the Cuba government again accused the
US of engaging in “biological aggression”. This
time it involved an outbreak of thrips palmi, an
insect that kills potato crops, palm trees and
other vegetation. Thrips first showed up in Cuba
on December 12, 1996, following low-level flights over the island by US government spray planes.
The US was able to quash a United Nations
investigation of the incident. At the close of the Gulf War, the US Army
exploded an Iraqi chemical weapons depot at
Kamashiya. In 1996, the Department of Defense
finally admitted that more than 20,000 US
troops were exposed to VX and sarin nerve
agentsas a result of the US operation at Kamashiya. This may be one cause of Gulf War
Illness, another cause is certainly the
experimental vaccines unwittingly given to more
than 100,000 US troops.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about?! First of all, whT the hell is a "torpedo missile"? And the Nimitz does NOT carry the "almighty" subsonic Harrier (a plane that has killed more pilots than any), but USN/USMC FA-18 fighters, A-6s, EA-6B Prowlers, etc. The Harriers are attached to smaller USN/Marine Corp Helicopter Carriers. And I sure as hell havent heard of a "battalion" of carriers.
Re: US Warships Moves Into Red Sea Closer To Syria by neyobillz: 12:47am On Sep 04, 2013
God bless the U.S.A for been man enough to try to end the madness in Syria,if the Nimitz is just some floating duck like some folks claim,then u can be more than sure it would be history by now,The Nimitz are the largest warships ever built,besides they are nuclear powered and are capable of operating for 20 years without refueling,the US has 10 of these ships so there are still at least 9 more deadlier of such ships waiting for orders,each of them cost about $4.5,its protected with 25 inches of Kevlar armor,The carriers also use AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare systems to detect and disrupt hostile radar signals in addition to the electronic warfare capabilities of some of the aircraft on board,you can also be more than sure of the presence of nuclear weapons on board not forgetting about 80 armed to the teeth stealth fighters on board and these carriers can launch 4 in a minute,meanwhile they dont move alone,they carry strike groups along which include frigates, guided missile cruisers and guided missile destroyers (used primarily for anti-aircraft warfare and anti-submarine warfare); one or two attack submarines (for seeking out and destroying hostile surface ships and submarines); and an ammunition, oiler, and supply ship of Military Sealift Command to provide logistical support.

Even the Somali Army would do wonders if they have such carriers,it would be foolhardy to think the U.S Navy would waste the lives of over 3000 crew members and over $4.5 billion of their tax payers money.

They are more than up to the task of doing whatever they are ordered to do and i strongly support the U.S intervention.

Mr USA worshipper, have you thought of the consequences of deposing Assad? Do you know that there are scores of rebel groups battling for the soul of Syria? If Assad is deposed, Syria will become another Iraq, where daily massacres is the order of the day. Is that what you want? True, Assad should have listened to his people who wanted a change in government. But as it is now, anybody that likes peace should support Assad in kicking out the murderous rebels who eat people's hearts, rape nuns and behead catholic priests in public. And I believe they are the ones that used the chemical weapons, not Assad.

lmao. even the weapons used in the gulf war 25 years ago are 10 times better than that. Assad's only hope is that Russia/China step up to the plate, otherwise he is done.

Iran unveiled a new unmanned combat UAV named «Hamaseh» with a purely Iranian design that serves the roles of recognition and battle using guided missiles and rockets.

greggng: Is clear asad will die like gadafi. Let me state clearly that no country on earth has capacity to bringdown america. Asad will be attacked come 9/11 and nothing will happen, end time will never come .his own end time will come. Russia has got the technical know how but one big problem food. When war starts they can only last as long as their food. Checkout history for more

You are the one that needs to check out history. History teaches that NO super power was brought down by another nation. Super powers self-destruct, and America will be no exception.

neyobillz: God bless the U.S.A for been man enough to try to end the madness in Syria,if the Nimitz is just some floating duck like some folks claim,then u can be more than sure it would be history by now,The Nimitz are the largest warships ever built,besides they are nuclear powered and are capable of operating for 20 years without refueling,the US has 10 of these ships so there are still at least 9 more deadlier of such ships waiting for orders,each of them cost about $4.5,its protected with 25 inches of Kevlar armor,The carriers also use AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare systems to detect and disrupt hostile radar signals in addition to the electronic warfare capabilities of some of the aircraft on board,you can also be more than sure of the presence of nuclear weapons on board not forgetting about 80 armed to the teeth stealth fighters on board and these carriers can launch 4 in a minute,meanwhile they dont move alone,they carry strike groups along which include frigates, guided missile cruisers and guided missile destroyers (used primarily for anti-aircraft warfare and anti-submarine warfare); one or two attack submarines (for seeking out and destroying hostile surface ships and submarines); and an ammunition, oiler, and supply ship of Military Sealift Command to provide logistical support.

Even the Somali Army would do wonders if they have such carriers,it would be foolhardy to think the U.S Navy would waste the lives of over 3000 crew members and over $4.5 billion of their tax payers money.

They are more than up to the task of doing whatever they are ordered to do and i strongly support the U.S intervention.

First of all, the Nimitz is not a sitting duck. but it is equally not a tptally secure and impenetrable fortress.


Also, there are no stealth fighters on yhe Nimitz. The USN F-35 is still undergoing testing.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia may approve a military operation in Syria if evidence shows that Damascus carried out chemical weapons attacks, but only if the operation is conducted with U.N. approval.

In an interview with AP and Russia's First Channel, posted on the Kremlin website on Wednesday, Putin also said the video of an August 21 chemical weapons attack outside of Damascus could have been fabricated by groups "connected with al Qaeda".

In the interview conducted on Tuesday and released the day before G20 leaders begin a two-day summit in St Petersburg, Putin also said Russia would continue to fulfill its arms contracts with Syria.

When asked whether Russia would agree to military action if Damascus were proven to have carried out a chemical weapons attack, he answered: "I do not rule it out."

"According to the current international law, only the United Nations Security Council can sanction the use of force against a sovereign state. Any other approaches, means, to justify the use of force against an independent and sovereign state, is inadmissible," he said.
