United Nations draws up emergency plan for Syria strike

UN agencies have drawn up emergency plans for a military strike on Syria but are determined to keep delivering aid in the stricken country, a top UN official said Friday.

“We continue to update and look at our contingency planning” in case the numbers of refugees fleeing Syria rises, UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said after a trip to Damascus.

The United Nations has concerns about the safety of its 4,500 staff in Syria, she added. But Amos said: “We have a commitment to continue our humanitarian operations.”

Amos said the mainly Syrian staff “want to continue to work for the good of Syrians” but “at the same time they are mindful of the impact that any possible military action might have on themselves and their families.”



unhappycamper comment: This camper thinks we are rushing into a gigantic shitstorm with this latest call to war. Nothing good can come of it for both Syrians and Americans.

1. "Nothing good can come of it for both Syrians and Americans"

Yet that won't stop anything, because Americans don't actually give a shit about Syria - Every single poster on DU clamoring for war is doing so because our authoritah was not respected. most Americans also believe that we are too far away for anything to touch us - and if it does, we'll be sorely confused because gosh, who would ever want to hurt such nice people as us?

3. "We're an empire now and we make our own reality ..."

Either that or a clever conspiracy to bring down the MIC for good.

This is kind of amazing in it's dumb-fuckery, it's Republican really. They are acting like Republicans.
