More puffery to force Russia to do what the US wants. Russia should make it clear that if the US goes beyond the UN, it is acting illegitimately and committing a war of aggression. Also, Russia should announce that if the US is stupid enough to attack Syria, then Russia shall end ALL military and non-military cooperation with the US/NATO in Afghanistan, and place nukes in Kaliningrad and as close as possible to NATO borders.If the US lunatics go after Syria and Iran, this will open the door to Moscow and Beijing

       I'm damned sure Susie is getting the message! The birth of the UN came about because Nations of the World want to solve their problems with the jaw; diplomacy! And not because a handful of wicked American male war-profiteers, thought they could make more money by using the Security Council of the UN as subterfuge to allow the American military to buy  bombs from them and drop these bombs on small countries unfortunately going through turmoil!

Susan Rice is arrogant and ignorant with regards to the middle east. She talks about Syria as if Syria is her child that needs to be disciplined. The secular syrian government is in an all-out war against islamic terrorists and street criminals who are being financed by the zionist saudis and qataris. Its a fact that the US and her arab puppets wants to overthrow the secular government of syria in order to weaken Iran. This whole zionist conspiracy will fail for sure.

The bottom line is this; Russia is hated by the vast majority of the Syrian population. When Assad is kicked out, the Russian influence will be zero. It amazes me how the Russian political class always back the wrong horse. When democracy comes, Russia will be out.    Russia has no history of ever intervening t o save the lives of civilians that are being murdered by dictatorships. Can anyone give an example of when Russia intervened  to save the lives of a civilian population that was under attack from tyrants or nationalist? They didn't in Bosnia, they didn't in Kosovo.....all the Russians care about is themselves.....it m akes them look bad, and they eventually co me out on the wrong side. And when NATO just ignores the Russians, there is nothing they can do about it. If it was left to Russia, everybody in Bosnia would be dead except for Slobodan Milošević, Ratko Mladic,  Radovan Karadžić and the murderers that they commanded.   This talk about Russia protecting the Syrian dictatorship from the US/ NATO is complete madness. The Russian military is so decrepit an d out of date. The US would blast them out of existence  if there ever was a conflict, and Putin knows this.   Stand up for the right side for once in your life.

Wow, all those negative comments. People in Syria are suffering and being killed for no reason.  I think somebody had a very good reason.Somebody who needed a pretext for an invasion for instance.Or perhaps somebody else, who knows.Nothing happens for no reason.

How can you be proud of admitting you are a mass murderer? The people of Libya are suffering more and more each day. America didn't gain anything and she is fighting for Israel. You should hang your head in shame! You are no more than a hit man and a thug. Leave the people of the ME alone. I don't support the US military or its bloodthirsty president, Obama. 
No wonder the people of the ME call us the Great Satan! It's because of  thugs like you!

Hang your head in Shame Proud Sergeant - with lots of luck u wont be around for much longer - You are so stupid to gloat over what your country has done in Libya and Syria and Iraq - the lists goes on and on - You are another brainwashed idiot of the Valium taking US Military - There is no freedom in the US look at what is happening to demonstrators  in the US- Decent returned soldiers throwing them blood won medals on the footpaths  Every dog has their day

In the U S war of revenge in Afghanistan, because Sheikh bin Laden killed 2,700 people on Sheikh bin Laden day '9/11',  the U S just got the 3,000th American killed. Why? They sent poorly educated dimwits like that staff sergeant with knowledge of only one language, no training regards the Hindu Kush range, the people they pretend to "help", their customs etc. Is it any wonder I get a lot of laughs on the Military Channel when I see them overwhelmed by the Chinese on the freezing Korean mountains and their general get fired, and, getting absolutely laughed out of Vietnam Nam.

@ Renae I don't know why Captain America is raging at you. I may not agree with you, but you make more sense than most people on this forum.
Well, thank you! I don't want people agreeing with me; I want them to do their own research, and be able to back up their claims. I try to do that with every assertion I make.

Alexander (unregistred), gringos are "selectively blind". Years of brainwashing process through the zio-controlled TV screen has definitely cancelled from their brains those cells responsable for the developement of critical thinking and the individual intellectual initiative. They crossed the bridge between thinking and believing on the wrong direction and burnt that bridge aftarwards... Gringos have decided that it's a lot easier to believe than to understand... They're the only population on Earth who can actually freeze but still talk about global warming, the only individuals who can believe that what's said on a TV screen deserves more credibility than what their own brains and senses elaborate... We have to admit that zionists did a good job on the american population... They managed to occupy them while making those "occupied" feel happy and proud of their condition... Hey now don't go generalizing. There are plenty of Americans like me who distrust the government.. in fact most of my generation does. What I want to know is where do you get your information? Do you talk to people from Syria and Libya. Both sides? I would say both are at fault for war crimes from my own research just as the western media has said, but without a real source I can't be certain.  I read RT.com for a different take on things, but they obviously have an agenda as big as CNN or BBC. I need more unbiased info!

Dumb@ss, I didn't say "during"; I said before. Although many of it's conclusions are craptastic, no less than a right-wing think tank like the Cato Institute (owned by the Koch Brothers) confirmed Roosevelt's admiration for Mussolini: www.cato.org/publica tions/commentary/eco nomic-leadership-sec rets-benito-mussolin i. (But it's a lie that Mussolini influenced US economic policy; actually, the Wall Street crowd at the time loved his embrace of their 'free-market' concepts).

An d, Noam Chomsky also confirms it: allisonkilkenny.word press.com/2009/04/01 /noam-chomsky/

There! Did my research! Got two opposing sides confirming the same thing. Now you go stuff it, you d@mn fool.....
The Cato article pointed up Winston Churchill's and the Western media's loving attitude of Mussolini; just like today, newspapers back then reflected the thinking of the rich and powerful elites. Chomsky was the one who had the quote about Roosevelt admiring Mussolini, just to clear things up.

Yes, yes, yes! Captain America and his stellar reasoning abilities! First he brings up the old canard of Israel having a right to defend itself against rockets falling in its alleged 'territory' by a people it has illegally blockaded, while castigating Assad for firing back at Western-backed terrorists who have made no secret about their intention of wanting to see him and his government ousted and replaced by a sectarian terrorist state such as the 'leaders' of Libya have now styled their 'state'--with 300 American soldiers there to protect the Western oil interests' profits.

Do you even know that you are on the side of Al Qaeda, Mr. America, 'cause they want the same thing as you want, apparently?

There are a lot of HATEFUL people on here and these people HATE Israel and the USA because of JEALOUSY. They HATE Israel because Israel is a beautiful and wealthy country surrounded by slummy countries run by dictators and their citizens have NO FREEDOM of any kind.

They blame Israel for killing Palestinians when Israel responds to having rockets and missles fired into their country. What you you do just sit there and not retaliate? Heck no! They hate the USA becasue we support Israel then they make up all sorts of lies and conspiracies about us.

Then you have these Occutards like "American Girl" praising brutal dictators like ASSAD THE BUTCHER and the mor on from Iran....then she preaches about love from the bible and two seconds later goes off on a hateful tirade.....absolutel y AMAZING!!! LMAO!!!

@ Renae = You really show your intelligence.YOu know, cuz america started World War 2 it did'nt have anything to do with HITLER KILLING MILLIONS OF JEWS did it!?!?!? You know us americans are so bad...we start everything....M0RON. ..read a history book!America is the good guys...we always have been and alway will be..>WAKE UP, you people on here are some terrorist lovin idiots!!! Just shows how stupid you are. The US government supported both Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy because they were anti-communists and were friendly to US business interests. And after WWII, the US had no problem using the results gathered by Nazi scientists and using tactics adopted by the Nazi in Chile or Argentina, to experiment on their populations when it came to smallpox or some other deadly disease. Just like the US government experimented on blacks in the South, and sterilized people it considered 'inferior'.

You demonstrate that very mentality of some of the worst of Western racism. P.S.--Al Qaeda was created by the US with the aid of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. I thought everybody knew that. Maybe, then, YOU should be the one to pick up the history books and stop rotting your brain listening to Fox and CNN....
