Now, please start your name calling ... just confirms who you are :2 cents:

Bring me creditable news and then we can talk.

Every news company in the world is tellng the same story yet we still question it, then here you are with an article written by someone I don't know "helped" by someone who claims to work for the AP but really doesn't while spitting out bible verses, and I am supposed to believe you and no one else?

I want the US to walk away from this but you just don't have it...

my article? it was posted by the OP.

Why would any of the US based news report this, if they're already ignoring the findings of the first chemical weapons attack?

If the government of Iraq is handing out orders to attack the United States... Isn't that an act of war?

These people just aren't too bright. We were able to re-program their centrifuges in their secret nuclear facility.... We know exactly what they are up to.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

An american talking about ''acts of war '' .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Are you not listening?

The article has no facts at all and fails to list any sources. This is not findings of an investigation; This is one person who interviewed someone who has no knowledge about anything, then quotes bible verse.

you think this is an investigation?

With Syria I am talking the direct opposite and saying we should stay out of it.

But when you have a government issuing orders to terrorists saying "attack", well, that's another matter.

Russia “will help Syria” in the event of a military strike, Putin stressed as he responded to a reporter’s question at the summit.

“Will we help Syria? We will. And we are already helping, we send arms, we cooperate in the economics sphere, we hope to expand our cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, which includes sending humanitarian aid to support those people – the civilians – who have found themselves in a very dire situation in this country,” Putin said.

He's talking about the article, not whatever various governments are saying. The article quoted random people and took them at face value, didn't attempt to corroborate anything that could be independently verified.

I feel like you're smarter than you let on, but choose to only half listen to what people are posting here. Then when your response doesn't make any sense people have to stop and re-explain themselves. It's distracting.

This is true to an extent, but China only recently made the transition from agrarian to industrialized society. On top of that there was massive social upheaval not long ago with the Communist & then Cultural Revolution, again despite its huge size it simply had little capacity for expansion beyond its borders. Also historically it had much of what it needed (resources, living room, etc) already, though the various factions did fight over these all the time.

Historically speaking the culture has been somewhat inward-looking, but past behavior isn't always indicative of future - for example the Japanese had their extremely inward focused sakoku ("isolation") policy for centuries, then modernized rapidly after Cmdr Perry in the mid-1800s, less than a century later they were conquering half the Pacific and East Asia. Likewise, if you'd talked to any European leader in the 1800s about Russia being one of the two sole global superpowers in the 20th century, they'd laugh you out of the building.

I've read some material saying they are working toward a blue water navy, but obviously this isn't going to happen overnight. I'm not saying they're going to start messing around in Syria by any stretch, just that in a couple decades the global landscape is going to look very very different and China will likely be a large player in that. Certainly they're throwing their weight around in the global economy on an unprecedented scale for them, and moreso every year.

how do you independently verify something in a war zone, that would entirely change the dialogue of several governments and corporations?

there is a lot that is pointless in discussing, due to a lack of information and relevant comprehension

as i feel you're smarter than you let on, do you think i should spend the time posting all the links of fake and misleading articles from 'credible newspapers'?

Seems they finally got an aircraft carrier....

I only trust Drudgereport.com news

The original article was written by Dale Gavlak and Yahya Abadneh for Mint News Press, it has been recycled by many online sources for many opinion pieces (like the OP article).

Who is Mint Press News: http://www.mintpressnews.com/about-us/

Seems pretty credible to me, A journalist with over two decades of Middle East experience working with a journalist on the ground in Ghouta.

Just want to make sure when we are shooting the messenger we are aiming at the correct target

little more credible? or should we wait

Hate to bust your bubble but that article was written by Paul Watson; one of the few true journalists left ...and he is as objective as you can get. He doesn't own Alex Jones.

As for Infowars, you can't get more objective or more documented news. Anywhere. Period.
Everything AJ talks about is already documented.

I know you don't have time to do research for yourself so it's hard for you to stay objective that way.

There are some gems in this thread. Just dropped the link here over to Mort Saul, one of my favorite activist comedians of the beat generation. He should be able to riff some funny shit out of this.
