" BRITAIN AND THE USA DO NOTHING "

How many on this forum would like Iran to have nuclear weapons? if your answer is yes perhaps you will enlighten us to why...if your answer is no perhaps you will tell us how we could stop them

There is no oil in Syria so we have no vested interests. Same with Zimbabwe-mugabe murders his own and we do nothing about it. We invaded Iraq because of oil and the fact that Blair was up George Bushes arse. Same with afghanistan and libya.

What gets me is that we can't sort our own country out-drugs are out of control, millions out of work and a health and education service that aren't fit for purpose. Really we need to sort GB out before we interfere with other places.

Prior to the unrest Syria produced 340,000 barrels of oil a day that figure is now down to 120,000 barrels. Russia has military interests in Syria which could well be one of the reasons why they vetoed the recent un resolution, China has strong economic ties with Syria which may be one of their reasons to veto the un vote. Add to that the close proximity of Israel/Palestine to Syria this could turn into something far bigger (this is far bigger than just oil) plus the yanks are far too busy plotting the downfall of another Middle Eastern enemy first.

Thanks for info-didn't know about Syria's oil.

I suspect the yanks are more interested in Iran......

Nail on head. Syria will fall into line once Iran have been put to the sword. Syria is the puppet Iran the puppeteer. Sad as it is all those poor people dying in Syria, its small potatoes compared to Iran (by the way they produce 4.1 million barrels a day and their oil transactions are no longer sold by the dollar. Other currencies are used - that's what its all about) and their threats to close the straits of Hormuz. If they did so the American Juggernaut would grind to a halt.

When we poured into Iraq first time, ( dessert storm) the biggest worry to us was syria getting involved, the 3rd largest Army in the world, Iran is a target for future deployments without doubt, but ask yourself this? why would China and Russia side with Syria in the face of uk/usa dissaproval?

i got my thoughts..

because of its strategic position on the map of the middle east i.e next to Israel, however Iran would be a bigger worry to the west at this time due to its strategic position on the map and the threats they have made on disrupting the oil supply from the middle east via the straits of Hormuz 20% of the worlds oil passes through this point - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz

f**k....

Do any of you even bother to read a newspaper?

Russia and China's Syria veto 'disgusting and shameful', says US:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2 ... o-us-video

Syria resolution vetoed by Russia and China at United Nations:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/fe ... resolution

The US and UK are trying to help, but are being blockled by Russia and China.

Some of you don't have a f*cking clue what's going on in the world.

Yes well did not the UN oppose the invasion of Iraq? Think they did and that did not stop the Yanks going in with a little help from us Brits.

He wields his flute with an expert hand
And then, all too soon
The dancing stops and the children stand
The piper calls the tune.

He holds their future in his palm
An old and powerful man
With missiles poised and bombs at hand
They wait for his command.

With songs of fear and bigotry
A cruel, hypnotic sound
He plays his last tune greedily
And strikes the children down.


Piper calls the tune by UB40

IN SYRIA WHILE CHILDREN AND INNOCENT PEOPLE GET SLAUGHTERED.

We let Palestine be destroyed by the Jews.

Yet we attack other countries that did far less, some did virtually nothing

Do they have any minerals that our money grabbing politicians can exploit? The answer is a big fat "no."

For this lack of action, see also situations in Darfur, Zimbabwe etc. The list is endless and shows us in a bad light yet again, hence the reason so many people hate the Union flag and the Stars and Stripes.

f**k....

But the the questions was if the UK and US were doing anything.

We are trying, but Russia and China are stopping us.

Russia has very strong ties with Syria.

Diamonds. Haven't you heard the song by Kanye West?

Really?

Nothing to do with the UN?

Really?

The UN is the USA and UK, isn't it?

Nah, maybe I'm just too much of a cynic.

Sierra Leone was sorted out by the UK.

British troops lost their lives.

Clearly, you were correct, oh great one. Mission accomplished. I'll go and watch telly (something brain dead to suit me) and you can return to the snipers mb.

Bye.

You didn't have a f*cking clue about Sierra Leone or That it's Russia and China that are blocking any efforts by the UK and US to tackle with the Syria Govt.

So, I guess you would be better off watching TV. Try the BBC News if you can't find a movie you want to watch.

How many on this forum would like Iran to have nuclear weapons? if your answer is yes perhaps you will enlighten us to why...if your answer is no perhaps you will tell us how we could stop them

I'd sooner the whole world disarmed themselves of Nuclear weapons.

However, Iran would be no more dangerous with them than Israel
Britain, or the only country in the World to ever slaughter hundreds
of thousands wth one.... The USA!!!

you are spot on, there is no money in it for us,
Afghanastan is all about money, access to the oil,

makes me sick

wrong afghan was all about lithium.

Did you see that gutless Tory wanker on the news last night with his "oooww, they want to be careful because something might happen in the future to them" Or words to that effect. Wow that's really going to scare them. What you going to do - go there and let his f*cking tyres down?

Annis, this government don't have the balls to stand up to Europe so they can sort a terrorist out who's allowed to walk our streets. What chance then of them sorting Syria out.

think you will find that this government is pissing off europe a fair bit by standing up to them

Yeah the world would have been far better off letting the war going on and letting Germany or Japan get a hold of the same tech. I am sure they would have been far more responsible with nuclear weapons.

The whole taking over the world thing and all.

I am for nuclear disarmament as well, I do think however sometimes fear of reprecution is the only thing that stops some of the more militant Middle Eastern powers from making a move....

As with Zimbabway, etc unless thiers a buck init thier not interested

A lot of guess work on your part there. Calm down, Big Fat Man.
