Russia warns U.S. not to repeat in Syria past mistakes in region
MOSCOW
Aug 25, 2013
(Reuters) - Russia warned the United States on Sunday against repeating past mistakes, saying that any unilateral military action in Syria would undermine efforts for peace and have a devastating impact on the security situation in the Middle East.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said its statement was a response to U.S. actions to give it the option of an armed strike against Syria.
It drew a parallel between reports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces had used chemical weapons and Washington's 2003 intervention in Iraq following accusations by then-President George Bush's administration that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's government possessed weapons of mass destruction.
"We once again decisively urge (the United States) not to repeat the mistakes of the past and not to allow actions that go against international law," the ministry said.
"Any unilateral military action bypassing the United Nations will ... lead to further escalation (in Syria) and will affect the already explosive situation in the Middle East in the most devastating way."

Will Obama blink, or follow through bring us past the brink.
And not a word coming from the Progressive Marxist Left. Why is that?
uingRight. Obama wants to start World War III. And then lose it. On purpose.
I like this, either Obama will blink and be a spineless leader, or he won't and bring us "past the brink"
There is no right answer is there?
Then he shouldn't have painted himself into a corner.
please be clear wolf, what is it that democrats are supposed to be upset about? It wasn't clear. You mindlessly posted an another silly lying editorial that you accept as fact. Try to use whole sentences.

The "liberal warhawks" supported Somalia (Bush I), first gulf war (Bush I), Kosovo (Clinton), Afghanistan (Bush II) and Libya ( Obama) just so you know. So you should factor that into your 'rhetoric'. As far as your simplistic "imaginary “genocide” was as false as the “weapons of mass destruction” argument, Clinton received a lot of criticism for waiting "too long" to respond to Kosovo.
WMDs in Iraq was false on that we both agree. You'll need to back up that 'imaginary genocide' statement again remembering Clinton was criticized for waiting too long.
The late march on Kosovo | The Economist
and here's the funny part about Kosovo (if its possible to find something funny)
"The House vote supporting military intervention was hedged about with conditions and provisos: it required the president to explain the precise nature of American interests in Kosovo, the cost of intervention, his exit strategy, and so on."
Then he shouldn't have painted himself into a corner.
Hmm..., Where did I make the claim that "Progressives" are supposed to be upset? I only made the statement that the Progressive Left has been silent on the issue. Inferring unlike their vociferous objections regarding Bush after they agreed by Congressional vote to authorize the invasion of Iraq.
er uh wolf, if you're going to attempt to play dumb about what you were posted then it would behoove you not to post the reason why you posted it. anyhoo, if you are unable to differentiate Bush lying about the intel to further his Day 1 agenda to invade Iraq and what's going on with syria, I cant help you.
So you are claiming that the already proven liar {Barack Hussein Obama II) is telling us the truth? While casting aspersions you obviously have attempted to obfuscate both your ineptitude to grasp the situation in the Middle East and incompetence in Foreign policy. A unilateral strike without the authorization by Congress is not only criminally illegal but an Impeachable Offense. Just ask Joe (two shot) Biden.
Obama lost Pakistan, Egypt, Libya.
He lost England and Canada as allies for Syria case. Many of allies doesn't want to follow him.
He lost also his credibility with allies with those stupid secret spies on them.
Due to his decisions, he made the US to look weak on the eyes of Russia. Something which never happen since Clinton/Bush.
Russia had respect for Bush, they knew they can't **** up with him.
With Obama ....... ooo they really see him like a kid.
You avoided what I posted which was asking you to clarify your post. . And not so surprisingly used it as an excuse to post more of your delusional and lying spin.
You started off okay but I take exception to "Obama lost Pakistan, Egypt, Libya" that statement simply makes no sense.
as far as "He lost England and Canada as allies for Syria case. Many of allies doesn't want to follow him", Syria has more to do with 'losing' allies than President Obama's leadership. Its easy to get allies when the job is easy. Syria wont be a win win like Libya and the case to attack is restrained by who we may be helping.
And lets face it, allies are more cautious about getting involved because of Iraq.
And sorry, your 'respect' for Russia's opinion is pretty funny. They didn't approve of Iraq. Why now is their opinion important to you?
