President Obama’s recent statement about a chemical weapons “red line” is just the West’s pretext for intervention, Syria’s Deputy PM has said, also stating that Bashar Assad’s resignation is discussable but cannot be a precondition for talks.
“The West is looking for an excuse for direct intervention. If this excuse does not work, it will look for another excuse,” said Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil speaking to journalists after meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.
Commenting on Monday’s statement by President Barack Obama that the US will intervene once Syria deploys chemical or biological weapons, Jamil said that these are statements and threats “linked to the US elections.”
Jamil warned against military action in Syria saying that it is “impossible” because it would turn the conflict into a regional one, stating “Those who are contemplating this evidently want to see the crisis expand beyond Syria’s borders.”
Hi Themuslimtimes,
This question may be a little off-topic, Was the 1st justification of the interest of the west toward saddam was he usd chemical weapons towards his kurdish everyone in a village, killing every person for example girls and children!! also inserting order from britain for a lo-g collection gun that could fire into iran or isral??
Good Job!
Regarding Chemical weapons. Some one asked Mr. Blair ” how do you know that Saddam has Chemical weapons ?” The answer was: ” We kept the receipts.”
