Bigflamie: The conclusive paragraph is the real fact. But the US doesn't give a fu*k.

Oh they do, my friend. This write-up published in the New York times definitely riled up millions of Americans 'cos tge piece stung

Omexonomy: According to the last sentence When did russians started believing in God? re.

Communism ended in Russia a long time ago. Most are christians from the Eastern Orthodox church.

@ topic, Putin scored a major hatrick here formulating the deal that will see tge Syrians hand over their chemical arsenal. This definitely silenced tge Americans (saving Obama from a major embarrassment). kudos Mr. Putin.

wheel barrow: Bad belle.....

Can you tell me what your Governor has done this year??

I just learned Akpabio and his family abandoned his "Dubai" and relocated to Lagos to enjoy good governance from Fashola....

Source pls. or did you just pull that from your a$& as usual?

Control to 13volts, pls more SITREP on these areas under your AOR. But pls take care note to violate the Force's OpSec. God's speed, sir.

Over and out.

13volts, 'seems you're a member of the NPF's MOPOL squadron stationed there. Hardcore, bruv. stay safe and God bless.

Classic Counter Insurgency Strategy using the civilian JTF component. Well done sir.

parismarc: Zenith Bank-Maitama branch,all d gals in that branch r yellow and sexy.

I thought I was tge only one that noticed that. LOTS of beautiful, fair, and damn sexy ladies out there.

Wow....I can't believe I missed the heavy thrashing dished out to the APC e-thugs AKA nematodes. this thread is on FIRE with carcasses of nematodes all around . carry on guys

Opey4luv: If these 700 military men join hands with the JTF, that will be a step closer to flushing out Shekau and his dogs.

it's just 700 men, ie a battalion, not a full brigade or division.

Caracta: Bush baby? At last we meet!

You scared the hell outta me when i was younger (school days). I would cry and hide under the bed for hours. Just look at you ugly thang! Never you try it again!

LOL!! The very same phrase came to mind when I saw the bush baby pic. So many scary stories about this cute animal as a kid

bankylan: Iran that was dealt with by Iraq....how many days did it take US to Capture Baghdad in Iraq?..forget iran, for get russia

I suggest you read about the Iraq-Iran war again (that's if you ever read it in the first place). The western backed Iraq initially made head-way invading an unprepared Iran, but the Iranians were able to turn tge war around in their favour. That war ended in a stalemate though.

emmydee: Putin is simply a big noise maker.US has developed super war intelligence & capabilities in line wit current technologies that Russia cannot match even in a decade.Putin must concentrate on battling hunger in Russia. THIS IS NOT USSR, this is only ruSSia!

"super war intelligence"........ lol!! dude, whatever you say....just pls ease up on the hollywood movies you obviously watch.

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 )

It's not that simple. The Sunnis want Assad gone, but the Alawites, Christians, and Druze are solidly behind the Regime. Take out Assad, and see what happens to tgese minority groups

payless: Members across ethnic spectrum saying no to the despot called Jonathan. I saw Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo on the list of Atiku faction.

and what makes Jonathan a despot?

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.

Zane2point4: Aahahahaha,oga your post is one of the dumbest i have ever seen,its obvious you have little or no military knowledge,now listen up pls.
Do you know that only a single destroyer ship let's even not mention carrier blc am sure u don't know what a carrier is,a single destroyer is enough to hold a city as big as lagos hostage with constant bombardment of precise topedo missiles and tomhawks?and still be capable of defending itself with its radar?now let me talk little about carrier,do you know that a carrier can carry about 20 fighter jets and even the world's most sophisticated gadgets is been loaded in the ship even anti missiles,do you know that those fighter jets it carries like the almighty ''harrier'' can even take off without even the runways and engage its targets within minutes of radar detection,let's just simply put it this way,a battalion of aircraft carrier can destroy a country as big as nigeria within 2weeks.

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.

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.

Uhmmmm...hold on...the S300 is RUSSIAN, not American oh.

If Obama isnt carefull, this whole Syrian crisis will taint his presidency.

nwekesimon68: pls wat happen in vietnam? After wat happen is vietnam better than u.s? U.s is fighting for peace bnd human rite to rain in syria. If they are fighting a country called syria blieve me u.s will make syria and iran a desert.

What happened in Vietnam is that the US abandoned Saigon, and South Vietnam fell to the Communist North Vietnam. America lost the war.

[quote author=Somorin#1]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.[/quote]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.

[quote author=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][/quote]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).

horlabiyi: Al-sad : your days are numbered

We heard that 2years ago.

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?

Garri the 1st: Thank you Falana for stating YOUR opinion.

But the fact remains: Lagos State CANNNOT continue to spend its meager resources on caring for beggars and destitutes from Alaigbo and other parts of Nigeria. Its is uneconomical and impractical.

Thanks..

And how did Lagos "take care" of these destitutes with its "meagre" (k, that's funny) resources?

GraphicsPlus: I am aware that if US strikes Syria when Britain, China and Russia have said no, there will be grave consequences. Obama is aware of that. This is why he's waiting and delaying to order for a strike. Obama is handicapped because US greatest ally, Britain has backed out of the plan to strike Syria.

However, I do not agree for a second that Assad is not responsible of the chemical weapon that was used against innocent and helpless civilians. The rebels couldn't have gotten a sophisticated weapon like that. From where? We are not talking about grenade bombs here. We are talking about Chemical weapons, which Russia and Iran, the two greatest allies of Syria possess.

US is not a war-monger country. If after thorough investigation and ongoing scanning, and it is discovered that Assad indeed used chemical weapon against his own people, I believe it is wise for Obama to order for a strike. Syria should be punished for crossing the red line. It is against international law to use chemical weapon during war how much more a civil war.

But again, I know Obama is facing several choices. The fact that the rebels have link with Al-Qaeda is one reason Obama will not make the choice of supplying weapons to them. Again, Americans will not agree for US soldiers to be on ground in Syria because of resources and men they have lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Obama strikes, Russia and Iran may be provoked. Iran is Syria's strongest ally because of the role Syria played during their war against Iraq.

So, I know that whatever choice Obama makes, the consequence will be grave. However, I believe if it is proven that Assad indeed used chemical weapons against his people, Syria should be punished. I think this is why Obama is delaying any military action. He wants to get more coalition and clearer evidence.

I'm afraid you're wrong. First of all, the rebels were able to lay their hands on a couple of chemical weapons during theinitial stages of this conflict after they had siezed a number of Syrian Army bases. And previous UN reports clearly indicated that the Rebels clearly used some of these weapons with absolutely no response from the west.

But here's a clear reason why I strongly believe the Syrians didn't launch the chemical attack: THE SYRIAN ARMY ALREADY HAD THE UPPER HAND IN MOST (if not all) THE RECENT BATTLES. So why use weapons of last resort when they were already on a winning streak? It makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. And keep in mind that the rebels had more to gain with the use of these weapons as it would drag in the west to the conflict after Obama said such use would cross the so-called "red line".

One more thing, the Americans are indeed warmongers. They own the largest military budget in the world and have been invokved in waaaay more conflicts than even their own enemies. Like the Iranians.

mayor4: This is a lady who needs help dont insult her! This lady is actually suicidal ask any physchologist

she's suicidal? i've got a noose and poison for sale.

JideTheBlogger: So many silly comments. I pray a pastor manipulates you if you are girl and if you are a boy, I pray a pastor bleep the sense out of your daughter so you can know whatz up. Mtchew**

Stay stong Ese.

Oh please!! No one is falling for that crap!! This is just an issue of COMMON SENSE (the lack of it on her part).

1)Did the pastor force her to visit him at the hotel in London? NOPE. if she sensed trouble in the pastor's invite, why didnt she come up with an excuse or even go with a campanion just in case pator tries something funny?

2)Did the randy he-goat pastor force himself on her? NOPE. She sure didnt mind the kisses and sex romp that followed.

3)Was she forced/coerced to continue in the relationship for a FULL WEEK? HELL NO!! She was happy warming the bed of pastor COZA all those. And all of a sudden she claims victim .

please take that crap someplace else 'cos I dont have an iota of pity for her and "loverboy" pastor.

nneh1: Someone should please talk to this girl before she commits suicide. She is really going through a lot. My dear may God strengthen you.

I'm sick and tired of her playing "the poor victim" role. Dont get me wrong, the COZA pastor is one stupid randy goat whose balls ought to be nicked once and for all for betraying his wife's trust and misleading his congregation. But this Ese should stop playing the victim card cos she's equally guilty. She wasnt forced into the sordid relationship, and she sure as hell didnt mind spreading her legs for pastor's "anointing" for a full week.

Honestly, this whole attack looks like a false flag operation were the Assad regime is blamed for the attack.

Rossikk: Why exactly would Assad deploy chemical weapons in a war he was winning by a mile, knowing it would mean an attack from the west? And at a time they were UN inspectors in the country!!? WHY would he do that? What was his motive? To investigate culpability in a crime, you need to establish motive.

Good question.

Gentlemen, we need to ask ourselves some questions:

1) Why will the Syrian military use chemical weapons on their own stronghold, Damascus?


2) Who stands to gain more from these Chemical attacks?

3) Western powers are quick to blame the Assad regime for the attack. Where's the proof? And how're they sure the fanatic sunni groups they support isnt the culprit in this dastard act (instead of the more secular Syrian govt)?

alexchiny: We all know the truth oo! Pastor Randy abused Ese's coochie! For a whole 7 days at that oo.

And how did he abuse her coochie? Wasnt she the one that spread her legs for the "anointing" for 7 damn days?
