If this all looks like Iraq 2.0 that's because it is---Time to fix the facts around the policy AGAIN

Obama’s Holy Tomahawk War on Syria
by Pepe Escobar
Source: Asia Times via Information Clearing House

.................

"The Obama administration has ruled that Assad allowed UN chemical weapons inspectors into Syria, and to celebrate their arrival unleashed a chemical weapons attack mostly against women and children only 15 kilometers away from the inspectors' hotel. If you don't believe it, you subscribe to a conspiracy theory.

"Evidence? Who cares about evidence? Assad's offer of access for the inspectors came ''too late''. Anyway, the UN team is only mandated to determine whether chemical weapons were deployed - but not by who, according to UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon's spokesman.

"As far as the Obama administration and UK Prime Minister David ''of Arabia'' Cameron are concerned - supported by a barrage of corporate media missiles - that's irrelevant; Obama's ''red line'' has been crossed by Assad, period. Washington and London are in no-holds-barred mode to dismiss any facts contradicting the decision. Newspeak - of the R2A kind - rules. If this all looks like Iraq 2.0 that's because it is. Time to fix the facts around the policy - all over again. Time for weapons of mass deception - all over again."

Different Bag.

"Can't get fooled again!"
Unfortunately, like everything else,
Bush-the-Lesser was wrong about this too.

It looks like many are just begging to get "fooled again."

I always wondered WHY crowds of people will drop their money into a Poker Machine at a Casino.
Its because PT Barnum was right,
but radically underestimated the rate at which "SUCKERS" are born in America.

Keeps managing to not actually point to any information showing the rebels were behind the attack. They just say "We don't know". They don't have a Scott Ritter to point to who is saying "it's bullshit" after being there.

The Secretary-General of the UN says the government did it. France, who refused to get involved in Iraq, says the government did it. But it's all bullshit because Bush lied about Iraq.
