هولاند: يمكن أن نشارك في اي تحرك بشأن سوريا حتى في ظل الرفض البريطاني

"...there was a body of indicators pointing to the responsibility of the Damascus regime".

Not one piece of which has been publicly revealed. Strange.

Everyone of the former colonial powers seems to be wanting to revive their history. One important element they seem to forget & that is the the century we are in ( 21st) ! People are more educated ,more aware with Real Time information through Social Media , so to the so called Western Powers stop your BS , we the people are not buying it . We know what is the real underlying issue is ....Israel & Oil ... The don't mix well !
Signed Wolf !

I rule a country and I am its head but fanatics stole my chemical weapons, does that tell you that I should remain the leader meanwhile the water is running under me. This is te same exact story that Israel assisinated all anti-Syrian freedom politicians in Lebanon since 2005. Until when this lying criminal regime should remain. Do I prefer the extremists to replace him. No freaking way but he failed to be a leader the moment he could not get his opponents under control. Whether in Lebanon or syria

wow against censorship from naharnet, even though i used far more decent wordings than most comments i see in here! double standards much?

i was hollande is the most ridiculous president france ever had, nobody takes him very seriously, that why it's going to be harder for him to backtrack like all his comrades. the speech he gave the other day almost made him sound like a man, so he's going to need more time (thus the new wednesday deadline, knowing that last week the deadline was yesterday)

Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favílla,
Teste David cum Sibýlla !

Quantus tremor est futúrus,
quando judex est ventúrus,
cuncta stricte discussúrus !

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
per sepúlcra regiónum,
coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupébit et Natúra,
cum resúrget creatúra,
judicánti responsúra.

DIES IRAE (http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=Dlr90NLDp-0 )

VIVE LE LIBAN, VIVE LA FRANCE.

M11er, if the communication is military leaders or faction of the chemical weapons department panicking over who/where/why/how there was a chemical attack, it needn't necessarily be proof of the regime's use, but simply evidence that they were confused/panicking as to the nature and whereabouts of the attack. Not incriminating until we hear directly they were supervised by top heads and not some rogue commander without proper authorization.

And I disagree that it's exclusively the regime that has such a capability. Al-Qaeda has been tinkering with chemical weapons in Iraq for some time now. Just some months ago the Iraqi government foiled a plot to initiate a chemical attack on some Shiite mosque during some Shiite prayer event, with remote controlled toy aeroplanes. Not to mention it's not a real tribulation to fabricate chemical weapons if one has the precursors which I take are more or less easily found in the black market Al-Qaida operates in. --More proof-- is undoubtedly needed to specifically point the finger at the regime.

Jarba seems to be, uh, democratic? from yesterday's interview with Marcel Ghanem, but when points of terrorists, Al-Qaida, and dozens of other terrorist groups were mentioned, he was very reluctant in answering directly. The minorities(some 27 of them) are reluctant of the opposition because of that very reason, and I agree with their reasoning given the ample evidence of such atrocities. I don't think any Lebanese is really siding with Bashar, at heart, genuinely, but seeing as how the opposition is made of thousands of wackjob extremists, one can see their hesitance regarding the issue.

I am of the belief that weakening the regime to the point that its hands are cut off from Lebanon and is busy dealing with the opposition is the best course of action for us. It'll in that case be killing actual terrorists while rebels recruit more civilians to wage their battles, reinvigorating the opposition as they make gains and terrorists die in the process. I'm extremely disheartened for the civilian population however and don't want to think about prolonging the war.

M11er, my brother let them continue to speak. They forgot what Assad regime did to Lebanon. We surely don't wish the same for our brothers in Syria, but the fact is, that the major problem in Lebanon is that the lebanese people have "ALZHEIMER", if you slap them today and you just spit on their face, by tomorrow they will forget and will tell you what a nice kiss you gave us yesterday. So let them keep talking and dreaming.

Wether you like it or not, France is the country that made Lebanon, when you are at school you learn French, in France they don't learn Arabic. You are measuring yourself to FRANCE and at the opposite you are not even able to build a bridge or control your finance.

An advice, once you are able to build a bridge and learn from your past, then you will be able to begin comparing your country and yourself to other cultures.

And yes and yes , MERCI LA FRANCE , MERCI LA FRANCE, MERCI LA FRANCE

bigjohn, I don't think it's AIPAC more than it is the military-industrial complex/war industry as you said. Eisenhower warned us a long time ago; do you see how peacelover asks what country the US has invaded(I reckon he reserves the term for unlawful intrusions the unjustified purviews of intervention)? It was this type of influence he was warning us against when discussing the dangers of the MIC.
