Syrian insurgents crimes being ignored by the west

I agree regarding the French connection. However, Syria has been in the crosshairs of US foreign policy for some time.



Bolton: "Beyond the Axis of Evil"[edit source | editbeta]

John R. Bolton
On May 6, 2002, then-Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil". In it he added three more nations to be grouped with the already mentioned rogue states: Cuba, Libya, and Syria. The criteria for inclusion in this grouping were: "state sponsors of terrorism that are pursuing or who have the potential to pursue weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or have the capability to do so in violation of their treaty obligations". The speech was widely reported as an expansion of the original axis of evil.

Yep, and DS had this up awhile back on the Rebels.

From Reuters:

Most Syrian rebel fighters do not want democracy and the country's civil war is producing ever worse atrocities and increasing radicalization, independent U.N. investigators said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters in Paris, Brazilian expert Paulo Pinheiro said his team of investigators had documented horrific crimes on both sides, although the scale of those committed by President Bashar al-Assad's forces was greater.

Again, I agree.
 
Talk about being hoisted on your own petard and hamstrung by your own rhetoric. The one and only reason that Obama hasn't called out Assad for crossing the supposed "red line" on using WMDs. Could that be because Assad got his nerve gas, and other goodies, from Saddam? just before the war began...there were many documented stories about secret, late-night convoys from Bagdad to secret Syrian military bases. So, Saddam DID in fact possess WMDs..and that means....gasp...BUSH WAS RIGHT!!

So what do you think about the Kurds now taking a stand against the Syrian Rebels?
