David Cameron and Barack Obama
The United States and allies may possibly intervene militarily in Syria, a little over ten years after the U.S. and allies entry into Iraq over weapons of mass destruction. Talks about likely U.S. intervention in Syria began over the weekend following reported use of chemical weapons in Syria.
The U.S. and allies, like the freedom fighters, are accusing the Syrian government of responsibility for the deployment of chemical weapons; while the Syrian government says it is the freedom fighters that are responsible for the act, showing gas masks and drums in a tunnel to the press, it says belongs to the freedom fighters.
The CBS news report said a poll shows that 46% of the people in the U.S. are opposed to military intervention in Syria with only 25% approves military intervention. But, Senator Bob Corker said in an interview that he thinks it is going to happen. He said the president is building support among NATO members. Meanwhile, the Syrian government has warned the U.S. against an attack and that if it does, failure awaits it.
It is the second time that chemical weapons have been deployed in the war between the Syrian government and freedom fighters with no one certain of which side in the war may have deployed the weapons. The first time, like it is currently being debated, both Syrian government and the
freedom fighters denied responsibility, pointing accusing fingers at each other. At the time, the western powers warned Bashir al-Assad against the use of chemical weapons, and President Barack Obama pointedly said the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government will be crossing the red line that will attract serious repercussions.
Talks that began with a report of telephone discussions between David Cameron of Britain and President Barack Obama over the weekend had
transformed into a contingency in the ready for President Obama‘s decision.
