It's On: US "Finds" Chemical Weapon Use Against Syrian Rebels; Military Proposes Arming Rebels, No-Fly Zone
The "red-line" has been crossed. The New York Times is reporting that:
- U.S. CONCLUDES SYRIA USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST REBELS: NYT, and
- NYT SAYS EUROPEAN OFFICIALS REACH SAME CONCLUSION ON SYRIA
- MCCAIN SAYS U.S. TO PROVIDE WEAPONS TO SYRIAN REBELS
And alongside that finding, as part of (or justification for?) the arming of the Syrian rebels, the WSJ reports that the US Military is calling for a limited no-fly zone inside Syria. The seriousness of this escalation must be put in the context of a desperately-needed distraction for the current administration - which makes the decisions being made even more concerning in their potential for extremes.
Headed to the floor to discuss breaking news on #Syria - watch live: c-span.org/Live-Video/C-S…
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) June 13, 2013
American and European intelligence analysts now believe that President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have used chemical weapons against rebel forces in the civil war there, an assessment that will put added pressure on a deeply divided Obama administration to develop a response to a provocation that the president himself has declared a “red line.”
According to an internal memorandum circulating inside the government on Thursday, the “intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year.”
...
“Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information,” the memorandum said.
...
According to a C.I.A. report, which was described by an American official who declined to be identified, the United States has acquired blood, urine and hair samples from two Syrian rebels — one dead, and one wounded — who were involved in a firefight with Syrian government forces in mid-March near the town of Utubya, northeast of Damascus.
The samples showed that the rebels were exposed to sarin and supports the conclusion that the regime has used the weapon.
In recent days, the British and French government have also asserted that there is evidence that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons.
A U.S. military proposal for arming Syrian rebels also calls for a limited no-fly zone inside Syria that would be enforced from Jordanian territory to protect Syrian refugees and rebels who would train there, according to U.S. officials.
Asked by the White House to develop options for Syria, military planners have said that creating an area to train and equip rebel forces would require keeping Syrian aircraft well away from the Jordanian border.
To do that, the military envisages creating a no-fly zone stretching up to 25 miles into Syria which would be enforced using aircraft flown from Jordanian bases and flying inside the kingdom, according to U.S. officials.
Watch John McCain and Lindsey Graham pat themselves on the back for just escalating Europe's crusade to get a Qatar natgas pipeline through a US-friendly Syria regime live on C-Span, at the expense of countless lives as mere "collateral damage."
We eagerly look forward to the Russian (and Chinese) re-escalation. Things just got real and are going to move quickly from here on out.
And for those who are still confused...

'WTF we're doing in Syria ?"
Midterm: Tactical/strategic positioning for future attack on Iran. They dont want a Iranian ally at their back.
Longterm: The 1000 Year Reich
We called it Al Quaeda is in the process of getting liquidated, and it's now or likely never. WW3 here we come. I dearly hope the good guys, Russia and China, make life difficult.
IF you examine the facts is is hague of the UK and fabius of France who want this in the worst way and are willing to fight to the last american troop or dollar to get it. These motherfuckers. Yet another case of lies in real time leading to war. God damn them to hell.
p.s. terrorist al nusra front leader raped journalist.
http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/leader-of-western-backed-te...
Didn't even need token Colin Powell to determine this?
And of course, recent events in Turkey have absolutely no relationship to any of this. The timing of that is simply coincidence.
/sarcoff
The Turkish regime wants it as badly as any of them.
I wouldnt call China and Russia the good guys. IMO the world is run by rival criminal gangsters that live off the people. Some are lesser leeches than others (only because they deem it in their best interests).
Given the level of propaganda and lies, who knows what the story is. Is the Chinese and/or Russian leadership already a tool of the NWO ? Given that both their nation's communist revolutions were western banker supported, this isnt an irrelevant quiestion.
talk about oxymorons- Military Intelligence
So, they're going 25 miles into Syria, from Jordan. Apart from shoring up Daraa/Golan Heights, not sure what this is actually going to do. Pretty sure the Russian anti-aircraft goodies are going to be stationed within range of Tartus. Looks like a "lets do stuff without actually doing stuff" move to me.
I should note, though, that "prominent NGO" Oxfam has been littering Youtube with "Syrian humanitarian crisis" videos over the last couple of weeks, talking major, major ad buy here. Likely the cover for, well, the slaughter of innocents, quite frankly.
Says who? Some high school drop out?
Let's settle this with a game of Horse on the White House basketball court. Prolly have to spot Barry with HO to make the game even.
McCain is deranged. He and former president Clinton are trying to talk Obama into this mess in Syria. The question I have is how much Arab money is going into their bank accounts? When was the last time Congress voted on going to war?
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/06/13/Clinton-to-Obama-Override-Public-Opposition-to-Syria-Intervention
This alone is crazy and then on top of it all we are arming Al-Qaeda rebels in Syria. Al-Qaeda? I think we have impeachable offenses occurring all over DC. This is just plain nuts. Who are we fighting in Afghanistan?
I'm getting the feeling there is some form of blackmail going on with respect to what happened in Benghazi. All the characters are involved and nothing else makes sense.
MOAR WAR! Must keep Muppets occupied and terrified.
Operation “dropping kinetic bombs of peace” commencing
Send in the drones. <to the music of send in the clowns.
So as I thought, the crossroads has been reached and the US decided to go full on war...
Now let's see what Russia does.
WW3 here we go.
Someone nuke DC before they destroy the whole world.
it is so sad but if you bombed DC Ottawa Paris London Riyadh Doha and Tel Aviv the world would find peace instantly.
History shows that war is almost always the outcome in times like these. Real life feels like it is slower than the history books, but I think technology has actually sped things up. Rome lasted almost 1000yrs, I give us about 250.
Agreed on DC, but make it a tactical nuke. There might be some decent folk 60 or 70 miles downwind.
there was little doubt we were going to be right.. but it sure doesn't make it easier to swallow.
.
In that case you'd want an air burst to maximize destruction and minimize fallout. Ground bursts do less damage locally, but are absolutely filthy in terms of fallout.
Slap the device into crate, stash it on a small commercial airplane. Take it up to 5000 feet and blammo. It's much faster and cheaper than doing a complete missile program. Less obvious than a parachute dropped from a slow moving bomber.
Just tell the pilot he's delivering dope to rebel mercenaries in Northern Virginia and light it up with a cellphone call.
They'll have to sneak in a suitcase bomb or something to do DC if they want to take out anyone of any actual importance. Otherwise the "essentially personnel" of government gets into planes and is heading for Boulder as soon as there is a launch, and then we will never be rid of them.
.
Let them. I take it you've never seen the film The Dirty Dozen, specifically the scene near the end involving the gasoline, the grenades, and the air shafts.
I see them turning subterranian and evolving into Morlocks.
.
So do I: Morlock's® E-Z-Lite Charcoal Briquettes.
No fly over Syria = gold, gas, oil, or opium in Syria
Soon we`ll get proof with some Syrian terrorist government
supporter having used Monsanto Round-up where rebels could have had cover...
FUCK THE WHOLE US GOVERNMENT......
RUSSIA - CHINA...STEP UP BITCHES...
HEY GOVERNMENT ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME...
AINT TAKING TO MUCH MORE OF UR BULLSHIT............
Oligarchs are Oligarchs. In case you haven't noticed, they all sit on the same multi-national boards of directors. They all eat at the same restaurants when they are in of town. They all play golf on the same courses and vacation at the same resorts.
... Russia - China...Step up Bitches?
That doesn't mean they're all rooting for the same team!
Yes, many versions of the Genovese vs the Gambinos. Different families but they both will break your knee caps if you don't pay up your protection money, I mean Taxes.
Much more accurate and valid framework to view the Dems vs the Rep.
They may be on different teams, but we are the pawns on their chessboards.
You can always reset the board for another match, but good oponents are hard to come by.
Re Russia and Syria, the offbeat military and intelligence agency veterans' site, Veterans Today, has an amazing claim that Russia is on the verge of being ready to destroy Israel with a nuke, and they have told Obama this
FWIW -
Article says that Syria recently sank an Israeli submarine with nuclear missiles, involved in operations against Syria
And that in revenge, some of the recent explosions in Syria were actually a small but nuclear cruise missile warhead fired by Israel
In response to that, Putin not only deployed the Russian missile defence throughout Syria, but also called Obama, and said the next time Israel uses a nuclear weapon, Russia will destroy Israel with a nuke in response
Article says two sides fight for control inside the US regime (the shadow government in favour of Israel, more traditional military and other forces now opposed to it)
Amazing if it would be true ... last days of Israel, as quite a number of prominent Jews themselves (Henry Kissinger, Israeli journalist Barry Chamish) have suggested
But perhaps World War III as well
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/06/03/1st-super-governmental-world-war...
Oberonekanobie dont care about Israel. ...poof
Besides, destruction of Israel is a major part of WWIII, as it demonstrates the need to have a level of government "higher" than that of current nation states who can't stop fighting each other.
"It's the end of history!"
Please. If Israel was destroyed tomorrow, no one would care. There is no God's chosen children, the Jews aren't special, and we are not their fucking fans or slaves. They incinerate the same as anyone.
Buddy, this is recycled mythology that's been deemed non-credible and debunked. It's not the first time this has been posted in ZH. Seems to be ab UN-Dead story that refuses to die. Probably because something this juicy creates a lot of site visits. "Follow the money" :-)
The Sampson option.
I hope part of the Sampson option is a large nuke in the Israeli embassy in DC.
It would be fitting for our co opted congressscritters to die at
the hands of the people that bribed them.Probably using the plutonium they
stole/bought from from that DC scum(apologies to non Washington scum).
winston, on that note, check out the tinfoil re: the high rad readings over the israeli consulate/embassy in NYC.
perhaps not too far stretched?
Posting the video that purports to show a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion in Syria would go a long way towards making that article credible. Same for the satellite images.
Hey i'm scared, aint you boys scared?
I used to fear the collapse, lately I pray for it.
I wonder if he's gonna show us what bad is.
I hope Russia and China slaughter our troops. We need a playground bully lesson.
This is your second dumbfuck comment. Maybe you don't value human life, but some people do.
I'd love to see the guilty punished for what they've done, but wanton slaughter and the annihilation of an entire country are insane things to "hope" for. If death is your wish then go on and kill yourself, see what it's like.
No one said anything about slaughtering a country. Just the troops we send there. Vietnam didn't teach us a thing apparently. I have no empathy for a sociopathic, mercantilist State with powerful armies that wants to impose its will everywhere. As for the leaders of this tragedy in a ditch, it's where they belong.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-06-13/us-propose-no-fly-zone-over-syria-concludes-use-chemical-weapons-against-rebels#comment-3656162
What the hell is this "we" business? You think killing a few hundred thousand grunts would actually teach the people who sent them to die a single thing?
Isn't there something on TV you should be watching? You don't have any Cheetos that need eating? Surely there's something you could be doing instead of dropping your mental turds around here.
is that you , Barry ?
Careful. Right now, some intern at NSA is googling "Kaiser Sousa."
Hey, aren't you the Kaiser Sousa who invented the Sousaphone? Yeah, we know all about you.
SHIT... NO OTHER WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
And the Russians just shipped a few Migs to Syria.
And the Russians will no doubt be training the Syrians in them.
And what could possibly go wrong?
I love the smell of proxy war in the morning.
May not be so much proxy this time.
I wonder if Assad will end up in the gutter, reamed by a metal rod
FUCK YOU TROLL....
Hopefully we'll awaken to headlines of Obama, McCain and graham with poles up their asses and laying in a ditch.
Leave out the ditch.
Vlad the Impaler's victims died in agony over many days.
Time to go back to traditional methods.

That's pretty much a typical weekend for Graham.

While in fascist NY...
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-57440895-501465/new-york-lawmaker...
New York lawmakers propose ban on anonymous online commentsCalled the Internet Protection Act (A.8688/S.6779), the legislation would require a web site administrator to pull down anonymous comments from sites, including "social networks, blogs forums, message boards or any other discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages."
The bill states:
Among the bills' sponsors are New York Assemblyman Dean Murray and Sen. Thomas O'Mara, who say the proposed law is to fight cyberbullying.
It's for the childrenz! Bitchez!!
lucky for me my name is actually fonzannoon.
I'm from the future you know. They actaully got it passed. Eventually they'll pass a bill forbidding the public from naming their children. Just ask THX 1193.
If It was a ban on Blacks naming their chillrens, then I am all for it. NO more Lutundra Washingtons Sharmayne Kings is just fine with me.... Blacks should have a choice of three names for boys and girls - Bob, Jim or Bob or Mary, Alice or Mary. Easy to spell too.
Myself, I've yet to even find a name that's applicable.
Call me Fidel if you don't mind.
You can call me Darren. All my friends and data miners do.
My name is retard. It pretty much includes all the sheeple.
pretty soon it will be mandatory to vote, too.
and to make sure their false dichotomous system for their NWO agenda is legitimized, they will 'take note' of anyone who writes in someone as opposed to voting for either of their selected puppets
oh wait, they probably already do that.
In my poli sci class this term the TA and most of the class actually were in agreement it seemed that mandatory voting would be beneficial. I brought up how, you know, some people choose not to vote because it is legitimizing a sham, but the TA quickly turned the discussion to other bread and circuses.
Jamie Squid's tentacleprints all over this
Will it apply as well to all the anonymously-posted lies on Wikipedia by CIA and Mossad agents ?
Everything on Wikipedia is 'anonymous' precisely to cover for US and Israeli intelligence officers
The fraud 'founder' of Wikipedia, Israeli-Mossad and CIA asset Jimmy Wales, is so high up in Mossad, he goes to intimate birthday parties of the President of israel.
Jimmy Wales was originally a pornography pusher, where Wales' willingness to support any sick crime, to help violate children, to lie or help kill innocent people, led him to be the CIA's choice to run the CIA Wikipedia project, and become the biggest internet fraudster in the world.
---
The 'trick' of the CIA's Wikipedia is to have 90% of info appear 'neutral', content supplied by 'useful idiots' on topics the CIA finds unimportant -
So that giant enormous lies can be inserted on Wikimedia, whenever the CIA or Mossad want to deceive people, on targeted victims and 'special' topics, like US or Israeli dissidents.
Lies on the CIA's Wikipedia are intentionally multiplied over and over, in search results via the CIA's Google, at the top of search results, to crush and erase the truth.
Jimmy Wales and his staff give Wikipedia support to US and Israeli figures involved in the sickest crimes, violating the bodies of children or spreading lies to smear and murder US or Israeli dissidents.
« Wikipedia is hailed by Zionist Israel as "…the major source of information in the world." They even advertise, with standard Zionist chutzpah, that Wikipedia is "…under constant, paid review of Zionist assets." » - Veterans Today, citing the following article

Don't walk the plank just yet, were still in the shallow waters.
LOL. Isn't that the best time to 'walk the plank'? ;-)
New York Assemblyman Dean Murray and Sen. Thomas O'Mara had better be really, really, really certain the NSA scrubbed everything, because they're now extremely choice targets for embarrassment. Worse yet, since they played the "for the children" gambit, I suspect the blacker trolls of 4chan-land will be looking for their children's mishaps as well. It's also totally unworkable and these two clowns clearly don't understand how tech works. Ahh, I see now: two years ago, Dean Murray was subject to anonymous internet trolling claiming he beat his wife and his son was hiding in fear from him.
It's embarrassing your politicians can't even afford decent advisers to warn them of things like:
The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.
Should have asked Glen Beck about that one.
Living near SF, I didn't think any other state could be more 'left'

sanctions/no-fly=war. Even 'humanitarian aid' =war because all funds are fungible and therefore it is actually military aid (notice they usually deliver this 'aid' on destroyers).

Slaughtered another 60 people.
The US has gone full retard on this one.
I would like the intelligence presented under oath. Or is it too much to ask that you lie to Congress before you engage in war?
Hussein Obama's main goal is the destruction of the United States. Always have to keep that in mind, for better or worse.
Does this action advance that agenda? I don't think there's any question about that.
BO's only goal is to do whatever the owners tell him to do. It's really that simple. He has no personal agenda because he can't afford one.
Marionettes don't have goals or agendas.
just as iraq's saddam was serve'd-up at the 'great-satan's-feast'... until?-- so too, will syria's assad be served up cold!
"Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat, until he eats them" Samuel Butler c.1890
Contradicts the findings of the original reports...
Maybe Colin Powell just confirmed that Assad used chemical weapons...
Maybe its time these real war criminals face justice..
So many scandals, what to do?
'Wag the Dog'.....anyone?
Now Assad will probably load up his chemical weapons and point them at US bases in the area...including Israel and Turkey... Tens of thousands of civilians will probably die because of the treasonous scumbags in DC.
If I were in Israel, I would get the fuck out, STAT.
as he should, when another country makes a deliberate act of agression against it.........
Remember, Obama has lied about everything.......everything!
John McCain would personally fly a WMD mission to kill US troops if he thought it would get things going.
The man is a total murderous psychopath.
Maybe so, but he has a dark side as well.
I wish the fucking yanks and the fucking poms would mind their own fucking business. I was born in England...hate the place (thanks to Blair and Cameron). I also hate USSA and will NEVER set foot in it (NB : but I like alot of individuals/scenery in both countries)
With that kind of attitude just conquer mainland Europe
and make them happy again. Once you established your rule,
all the better Americans would join you there to retake
the West.
War = Distraction
What HASN'T the Obowel Movement lied about?
WWIII begins, I fear. Been nice knowing you folks.

Obama is fucking desperate! The only way that Goldman Sachs ball licker can keep his job is by firing up the war machine, because even his paymasters are seeing his corrupt ass as a liability. Time to start stacking Potassium Iodide pills, bitchez! Putin ain't gonna take Obama's bullshit...
Is that for Polonium?
Desperate? Drunk, more likely.
Here's a clue, he doesn't make ANY decisions more important than how many sheets of toilet paper to use. Even then, he still checks with the wife first.
Hope this lasts a while because McCain will be hiring Al-Qaeda to attack the US next.
F**k off.
Like everything else in the Mideast, isn't this about Sunni vs Shiite? Not my problem.
It is about self hate and the ethnic cocktail it derives from.
The problem can be fully expressed by the following equation.
My pipeline > Your pipeline. (would also accept "empire")
Anything else is merely rhetoric.
Not to nitpick, but the most basic form of that age old equation is:
My pipe > your pipe.
And so it begins. No coicidence then that F-16 were already deployed in Jordania.
Now the usual bag of tricks: several votes in UNSC which get shot down by Russia and China followed by some 'humanitarian tragedy' or human rights violation, etc. But the stakes are really high now so whatever will trigger the intervention, it will be big.
I though Libya already proved the criminal USG will invade whether it has UN "permission" or not.
Fellow Americans, our 'government' has gone completely Rogue.
They will murder us with no concern whatever when the time comes.
I bet McPain is lusting over the idea of shooting Arizonians in the back of the head.
Semper vigilant. Now more than ever.
Ahh yes... Must get those pesky distractions off the front page and evening news.
From what I gather, the whole NSA thing has really tipped the cart over.
Wonder what is next? Russian reaction? Should be an interesting weekend of posturing.
Yeah...these things are planned months in advance...Snowden was being looked for before the story was released...
What if the Russians love there children too and are duly
part of the game ? Imperialists NOT united is our last chance.
NWO dwells on maximum disorder though, so make no mistake,
war will only really start when this is "over".
I would dearly like to believe this, were it not for some very nagging string of facts to the contrary:
1. NATO keeps pushing its boundary further East toward Russia. Why do they need Finland, Ukraine and Georgia in 'NATO', if not for Encirclement?
2. NATO won't let Russia into NATO.
3. US has decided to build the anti-ICBM missiles (Iron Dome) in Eastern Poland, and won't disclose to Russia the basic trajectory info -- like speed profile -- as a sign of good faith that it's not intended to be used against Russia. And never mind that they won't place them on Russian soil, since that's clearly closer to the "nuclear Iran".
At some superficial level they are cooperating -- like two companies that cooperate and compete on a selective but tactical basis -- but the strategic intent is Total Victory, make no mistake about it.
Think: Simplicity, Clarity, Occam's Razor.
Those Qatari-paid FSA cunts are fucking animals. And now Mr focking Obomber wants to aid them...he needs to be assassinated!
As I repeatedly remind the world, "President Biden" doesn't strike me as the instrument of change.
How can you conclude anything when there is no evidence to support your conclusion?. Perhaps you can conclude that Congress is full with evil lying warmongers...not much more though.
Obummer finally got the message to escalate, lest he be 'watergated'........
I think you're 'bang on'. He may be trying to do his high-wire act (let Wall St and the MIC have their way, as long as he gets his Green and Social programs), and he may be trying to slow/pace the MIC ambitions, but they want to go faster to stay on track & schedule with he Neocon/MIC/Likud agenda.
Him slowing things down allows not only for peaceful solutions, but also buys Russia time in its weapons development. Not to mention that it buys time for Iran to 'go Hot' -- for defensive purposes (given Israel's hundreds of nukes), regardless of their rhetoric which is designed for internal consumption anyway.
DCG, I don't pretend to know anything much about this situation, but I admit to fearing that you are absolutely accurate here.
Obamerama to waste $ 100 mill to go to Africa...unreal
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obamas-family-trip-africa-cost-60-10...
He has a burning desire to visit his roots.
The daughters finally get to meet their cousins, aunts and uncles.
Perhaps a god African will plant Obama six feet under. He'll grow good roots at that depth.
He should try walking down the main street in Johannesburg at midnight, to see how well South Africa has progressed.
Central Joburg has had a (VERY) justifiably bad reputation as THE worst city for violence / murder in SA for a very long time. Everyone's heard of Soweto (remember the riots!), but I can tell you from personal experience Hillbrow is far worse. Never, EVER stop there in a car at night, no matter what the reason. Red lights are treated as "give way if you REALLY must", if you want to survive.
Durban and Pretoria are not good either (very marginally "less dangerous" that Joburg), whilst Cape Town is pretty OK even at night (with a dose of common sense). More "Rural" Western and Eastern Cape towns have a no worse crime rate than most European towns. Places such as Paarl, Stellenbosch, Worcester, Agulhas, are all "pretty LOW crime" for the population density. If you want to stay near a big hub - the more outlying districts of Cape Town are just as good and quiet - you can't really beat Hout Bay!
Will the Kenyan get another Peace Price.?
To go along with our manipulated markets, the US goverment must manipulate the intelligence coming out of Syria. Why do they even pretend anymore? Can we just admit we are a fascist totalitarian country run by oligarchs with imperialistic desires and do away with pretense?
I admit that in practically every half-intelligent conversation I have, only most of the brainwashed, mouth-breathing shitbags just can't bring themselves to admit that the propaganda they've had shoved down their throats all their lives is bullshit...
Which is exactly why the media bullshit continues. If it stopped working, this country would split open like a dead pig on a summer afternoon.
Good thing that the Syrian war will kick off... I mean, America needs more radical immigrants right??
U.S. considers taking in Syrian refugeesA resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.
The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure.
The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement.

Timing: interesting on many levels. Presidential elections in Iran tomorrow. Remember last time? IIRC there were a few weeks of power vacumr/rioting before Amadinijad was sworn in. From what I understand there a 6 horses in the race, just one of whom is regarded as a reformer by the west.
The usual suspects are probably very busy behind the curtain right about now.
Fuck, I am sick of this.
Yep... Once Syria kicks off... Lebanon and Iran will too... Iraq probably too...
Chances are, no-fly zone planes will come from Turkey... Assad in response will probably launch missiles in Turkey... pushing the Turkish people behind Erdogan... and now you understand why Erdogan said ``the protests will end within 24 hours``...
It's all tied together... prepare for some massive shitstorm... if you're in eastern Turkey... GTFO.
It's time to pray, everyone kneel behind your dog .....

Invade Qatar and Saudi Arabia and re-distribute their stolen wealth. McCain thinks small got the face of someone with a little dick too.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham are enemies of humanity. McCain is a traitor that gave away flight paths to the North Vietnamese when he was supposedly "tortured" by the captures he bombed illegally. And by tortured, they pampered him, put him on the radio, and paraded him to peace talks as a sign the Americans had given up. And why? Because the N Vietnamese knew he was an admiral's son. High value captive.
And when anyone (including the POW's surviving family) he screams at them like some lunatic.
1st class piece of shit.
They should have put a bullet in his head... would have save the world a lot of trouble.
Someone should break his legs.
You'll want to walk a careful legal line between "heated opinion" and "inciting" or "causing other to incite".
