Fascinating listening to the news on Syria.

First you must make sure your ears are wide open.

While reporters give us their version of what is gonhg on, you wait for Kofi Annan to come on and say the same things but - he does not**

US Saudis and Turkey read the same script. They want Assad out and the war is on the table, tuff xxxx,  bad luck for the people who end up in a firing line. What is few thousand more dead? You never hear it discussed  how many ordinary people are going to die. Your mind is shifted to one enemy alone, one person,  we kill him and we give you the golden age.

Dos, are you perchance FORGETTING that shooting at people across an international border is a classic 'causus belli'???

If the Turks chose to move their entire military against the Syrian Government right now - I do not think there are any grounds for anyone to argue.  The Syrian military, acting on orders from the 'duly established' Syrian CinC, has killed people the Turkish Government was protecting.  The Syrian Army has violated Turkish sovereignty over Turkish soil.

War SHOULD be a last resort - but anyone who'd take Assad's word that it was an 'accident' now, is such a fool and an idiot they shouldn't be allowed out on their own!

And you, Dos are evidently suggesting the rest of us should ignore that and allow the Syrians to continue  murdering refugees WHY????

Beirut
Syrian troops killed 31 people yesterday, pursuing a fierce assault on President Bashar Al Assad's opponents instead of silencing their big guns and leaving towns as promised under a fraying international peace plan.
The worst bloodshed was in the city of Homs, where shelling of opposition districts killed at least 26, activists said.
Opposition groups said there was no sign of a military pullout, with tanks still in cities such as Homs and Hama.
Citing satellite images, a French foreign ministry spokesman endorsed that view and denounced a Syrian assurance that troops were, in fact, withdrawing as a "blatant lie".

'Syria fails to withdraw military from cities'

UN envoy Annan says despite ceasefire, Syria gov't failed to withdraw troops, heavy arms from cities; Security Council discusses observer mission

Associated Press
International envoy Kofi Annan told the UN Security Council Thursday that despite the fragile ceasefire in Syria, the government has failed to implement the council demand that it withdraw troops and heavy weapons from cities and towns, UN diplomats said.

 

The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because Annan's briefing was behind closed doors, said the joint UN-Arab League envoy urged the Security Council to demand that Syrian President Bashar Assad order his troops back to barracks.
