It still feels a bit weird being allied to Al Nusra (Al Qaeda), and the Islamic State of Iraq in this civil war.

I know mate, I lived in Riyadh, Al Khobar, and Hafr al Batin myself..alawite is a one of the many strands of the Shia. The intelligence mnister would have a say in where the weapons they are passing out are going...The Saudis are supplying the 'rebels', so I doubt that he wouldnt know about...

Something that just came up on CNN regarding the US assessment... If they knew that the Assad forces were preparing for a chemical attacks for three days, why were the Syrians told er...dont even think about it.. Anyway, ive really go to go out, need to be past Slavias stadium before the...

Well, it kind of does, if you are influencing the battle field for one of the sides? One of the sides you are actually arming, I mean, If we are arming the 'rebels', and degrading the Syrian armies ability to command and control its forces, surely thats aligning yourself with the 'rebels' ...

Attacking his command and control, places the USA on the same side as Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and the Islamic State of Iraq rebel groups...carry on beheading civilians guys... its a shit**** for sure. Its not our shit****..If anybody, the French should be more involved. Send humanitarian aid to the...

If William Hague was an Intelligence chief for a country supplying the Sunni jihadists with arms in Syria?...Its kind of weird, considering they fight them in Saudi Arabia. I think you misread it tbh...it was allegedly supplied to them by some Saudi militant, not personally by Prince Sultan.

Ok, lets say there is proof... Despite not knowing where the front lines in these areas are..normally pretty fluid during urban fighting, but lets say the Syrian army did commit this atrocity..is it worse than the rebels or Assads forces doing it in past? Ive seen videos of rows of bodies...

I think disagreements with people on here are due to having to type, rather than talk...what we have disagreed about in the past, may well never reached a point of disagreement if we were in a boozer talking about it...its just the way of forums...

Its a sad state of affairs...thanks for the pdf btw, id just got in when I saw about this... Im still not convinced, the passage referring to chemical use during this disaster of the last couple of years, the words 'we assess the oppostion have not used chemical weapons' makes whatever else is...

What evidence did they release?

It wasnt just labour though was it... Does this look like a standard artillery piece and ammunition to you? I think its best we stay out of it...regardless of what labour, the tories, or anybody else thinks. My feelings are not guided by them to be honest. Id rather not be supporting Islamic...

You want to bomb people without any evidence... wow...Carry on supporting jihadists mate..jihadists beheading catholic priests, wiping out entire villages, executing children etc....having served on an aircraft carrier, and moving troops around, ive got a pretty good idea what standard artillery...

Didnt Mustafa post a video of the 'rebels' firing an artillery piece the other day, the like of which, ive never seen before, and can only assume its for chemical weapons... Im pretty sure Al Qaeda has the 'know how', and since the rebels have overrun military establishments during this...

US, no... UN, yes, under limited conditions. I dont think we should be swaying this in any direction with our actions...Ive been saying civil war, but its not even a civil war in reality...theres sunni jihadists from all over the arab world, the caucacus, Britain, Canada, USA, on one side, and...

When we are allied to one of the sides....supplying them with arms, and munitions, to tell me its 'highly likely' the other side did it, is not a reason for our country to go and bomb the feck out of another country. Im not concerned with regime change etc...I dont think we should be involved at...

Theres no evidence whatsover, yet people here are prepared to bomb one of the sides over it....the side fighting OUR enemy.... Is the JIC report the report that concludes 'its highly likely that the Assad regime is responsible'? If they dont know, they dont fecking know. Highly likely isnt...

Blair this, former labour govt that...its feck all to do with party politics...theres no evidence, other than an American say so, who committed this atrocity, so I believe Parliament got it right.. if even by default. Edit...how many tories voted against, is it known...save me looking

Theres standing around doing nothing for a good reason...We dont know who did it ffs... why would we bomb the Assad government forces, when we have no clue if they did it? Its ludicrous, and why are we now allied to Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and the Islamic State of Iraq 'rebels'.

Syria is formally French controlled...they should have been involved from the beginning.

Somerset, Ive got to ask, how are you so sure that it was the Assad government forces that used this ordinance? From what ive seen lately, the government forces have been winning this war, and dont see a reason for them to do it to be honest...obviously I could be wrong, but there seems to be an...
