The American-led propaganda war on Syria seems to be moving towards the endgame of providing the political cover for direct Western military attack on that unfortunate country.

US officials say Syrian forces have armed chemical weapons

NBC News

12/05/12

The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people and is awaiting final orders from President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials told NBC News on Wednesday. The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said...

Debating intervention in Syria

In These Times
by Rebecca Burns

11/29/12

The ranks of liberal hawks have swelled in the past two decades in response to atrocities in places such as Rwanda and Darfur. But humanitarian intervention, the doctrine that says the duty to protect civilians trumps state sovereignty and justifies the use of force, has most often been relegated to the realm of the hypothetical. In the murky aftermath of the NATO mission in Libya, humanitarian intervention appears both more probable and more problematic...

Syria: An energy-based proxy war in the making?

The Vietnam war wasn't really about Vietnam. Spaniards may have fought in the Spanish Civil War, but the real opponents were elsewhere. US and Soviet machinations in Afghanistan in the late 1970s had little to do with liberating a repressed population. They were all proxy wars, struggles between superpowers that chose to fight their battles in faraway lands and inflict their collateral damage on other peoples instead of their own...

Peter Scholl-Latour über den Syrien-Konflikt, die Rolle der Türkei und die Rebellen.

http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/37/37817/1.html

7. Dezember 2012

Keine Bundeswehr in die Türkei!

''Wie schon in Afghanistan beginnt auch der Einsatz von Patriot-Abwehrraketen in der Türkei wieder mit einer Lüge. Auch Bundeskanzlerin Merkel weiß: Die Türkei wird von Syrien nicht bedroht,'' kommentiert Jan van Aken, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der LINKEN, den Plan der Bundesregierung, 400 Soldaten in die Türkei zu entsenden.

Oberst Ulrich Kirsch, Vorsitzender des Bundeswehrverbandes, hat vollkommen recht, wenn er jetzt die Begründung, und die Verhältnismäßigkeit, dieses Auslandseinsatzes in Frage stellt. Syrien hat die Türkei weder angegriffen noch mit einem Angriff gedroht. Es ist eher andersherum: Die Türkei hat sich von Beginn an in den syrischen Bürgerkrieg eingemischt und unterstützt die bewaffneten Rebellen. Die Regierung in Ankara hat sich sogar per Eilverfahren vom Parlament einen Einmarsch in Syrien genehmigen lassen. Es ist purer Wahnsinn, 400 deutsche Soldaten mitten in den Nahost-Konflikt zu schicken, der aktuell jederzeit in einen regionalen Krieg münden kann. Aus meiner Erfahrung als früherer Biowaffen-Inspektor bei den Vereinten Nationen sage ich, die angebliche Bedrohung der Türkei durch syrische Chemiewaffen ist völlig an den Haaren herbei gezogen. Erstens sind, wie in jedem Krieg, alle Geheimdienstberichte über chemische Waffen mit Vorsicht zu beurteilen. Und zweitens wäre es militärisch schlichtweg Unsinn, in einem Bürgerkrieg Chemiewaffen mittels ballistischer Raketen einzusetzen. Gegen chemische Granaten und Bomben wiederum können die Patriot-Raketen gar nicht eingesetzt werden.
