Kenny Anthony's response to its position on syria is to say that it will wait for the United Nations report.The UN has said its report would not be saying who is responsible for the gas attack.So why is St.Lucia waiting for the report to decide if Assad did gas his own people?Some countries have conducted their analysis and the results showed Assad was responsible.These findings are available to the government.Is the SLP government saying that it does not believe the findings?If that is the case then say so.Russia and the countries that support Assad have said that Assad did not release the gas.They blamed the rebels.Is St.Lucia of a similar view?Has Russia provided any evidence to support its claim that the rebels are to be blamed.I am not aware that Russia has done that.The government is running out of time and neutral space to hide.Sooner rather than later it will have to take a position(choose a side)and then all St.lucians will know what is the core of St.lucia's foreign policy.Judgement day came sooner that Kenny expected.
SINCE THE USE OF “CHEMICAL” WEAPONS VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL LAWS, WHY IS IT THAT THE U.S.A. AND THEIR CLING-ON FRANCE ARE THE ONLY ONES PASSING JUDGEMENT TO BOMB SYRIA AND NOT THE UNITED NATIONS??
The United States is being sucked into the Whirlpool of Chaos in the ambiguous geographic region called the Middle East, except this time there is an explanation of The Coriolis Effect; it is the rhetoric emanating from the mouth of the Nobel Peace/War Laureate President Barack Obama, also known as “CROSSING THE RED LINE”.
What is enigmatic about this new Physics is America will then be allied with Al- Qa-e-da, an Arabic name which means the Base or foundation in English. Do you remember them? That Terrorist Organization that killed thousands of Americans when they brought down the WTC twin-towers headed by Osama son of Laden? Ebin/ bin means, “son of”.
The Propaganda instruments, WABCDENN, are spinning a trail that threatens the End of Humanity as Russia deploys its military assets into the theater/ Mediterranean Sea to confront the Dogs of War America, England, and France; (England has bailed out) if they should decide to “capture” the pawn aka. Syria. Israel has positioned its Military on a hair-trigger as any attack from the Dogs would certainly require a defensive strike from Syria on Israel, which would then unleash the Might of the Israeli War Machine, and in comes Hezbullah, Iran, and the “Koden”/Turkey - OK, America's Bulldog England is playing sick and suddenly has a headache/pulling out, but the Filthy French, notorious for cunnilingus sex is down. - “Total Destruction! Only Solution! No one can stop them now” Marley.
To Obama, from a secret admirer on his Nobel Peace Prize anniversary by Bob Marley:
If you were as well informed as you try to portray you would have known that the security council cannot get a unanimous vote on that issue because Russia and China will block it. It is expected that all member countries will be asked to vote on whether action should be taken against Syria. Wait for the results.Should be interesting and very revealing.I look forward to finding out how St.Lucia.
To hear you tell it, one would think that Russia and China were the only ones to veto actions they opposed in the UN Security Council. The US is notorious for stymieing efforts bring about Israel's withdraw from the lands it has invaded and stolen from the neighbouring countries of Syria and Palestine.
The UN has been problematic for sometime. The approval of the invasion of Libya, the cholera epidemic in Haiti, the inability to bring about a cessation to the violence in Palestine and Syria, the murderous sanctions/starvation of the peoples of N. Korea, the sanctions and invasion of Iraq resulting in the murder of millions are only a few of the "stellar" accomplishments of this corrupt regime. Did I mention the lack of action in the Congo, where millions of Africans have been murdered while their natural resources are stolen by your so-called mother country England?
WHAT A BUNCH OF LIES BY THESE FIILTHY SCUM THE FRENCH; NOTORIOUS FOR USING THEIR MOUTHS TO CLEAN THE FEMALE AFTER THEIR MENSURAL CYCLES.
You answered your own question; Kenny is awaiting the results of the investigation of the UN, and not jumping like a Jackass because these Lairs French and England said, “JUMP”.
Lucians are the best at articulating some ideas, I prefer “Bar-va” to its English equivalent. Being a Bar-va will always place one at a disadvantage, because it limits and confines one's ability to maneuver; this is the situation the Ba-va Obama finds himself with this Ba-va talk of “RED LINE” - Now WHAT?? It does not matter which side used the Chemical Poison-Gas weapon, “we have to act like our words are credible!” is the mindset of Washington as this nightmare unfolds at the doorsteps of World War iii.
“Something must be done!” But Obama can't go to the United Nations like his predecessor Bush did; the obvious reasons are {a} John Kerry is no Collin Powell! he is inarticulate and sounds constipated, and {b} any belligerence will be vetoed by China and Russia, so the UN and International Law must be by-passed and some fraudulent, COALITION of the WILLING” - France and USA? remember them?? in Iraq! - will appear.
Let me call your attention to Collin Powell's presentation of “evidence” of WMDs to the Security Council of the UN as a reason to invade Iraq to kill and injure millions of innocent people. Do you remember all the theatrics, satellite photos with all the trimmings – well, you know the bamboo we ignite at Christmas time, “Bursting Can-noo”? That's the WMD they found in Iraq after killing millions and leaving the mess that continues murdering Iraqis today. Now it's Syria with Poison-Gas bombs??
The truth is these Arab Leaders are brutal dictators and will do what it takes to subjugate the population and remain in power.
There is ample evidence however, that the CIA, the Israeli Forces, and Al-Qa-E-da hatched a diabolical plot to poison thousands of Syrian people with the hope that the USA would be forced to back-up the Ba-va talk, while siding with the Terrorist of Al-Qa-e-da.
Women and children were attacked with a Chemical Weapon known to be possessed by Al-Qa-e-da. This was revealed by the Defense Ministry in Baghdad when they informed the USA that Al Qa-e-da in Iraq was planning to launch Chemical weapon attacks in the region and abroad.
After you see this Video, I ask you: Do you still think that these are the people France and USA should be supporting?
You Negroes with your heads under Diamond Rock should hear this from the mouth of the Syrian Government before you regurgitate the "Mange KOSHON" the Filthy French are feeding you!
If you have any questions concerning the conduct of the English, French and the USA, please take a step away from the immediate False Flag distractions that the United States' CIA has been able to conjure – as in conjugation of Lucifer.
As you ascend in altitude and your vision can now encompass Iraq, take a closer look at the people denouncing the use of Chemical Weapons, the United states of America and your White Queen Elizabeth-II – we know that the USA was supplying Saddam Husein with the Chemical weapons he used to poison thousands of Iraqis and Iranians while Washington pulled his strings and fed him information on the position of the millions of young Iranians that were Poison-gassed with the blessings of the USA.
Ever heard of the Poison chemical “Agent Orange” used by the USA to poison the Country of Vietnam, yes the whole country - people, birds, worms ants, everything, along with young American soldiers? but there is no need to go that far back in time.
I am sure you will recall the area in Iraq called Fallujah; it was the theater of fierce resistance against the invading Armies of this war-of-aggression led by the same people denouncing the use of Chemical Weapons.
The USA's CIA is now admitting that it used Chemical Weapons against the people of Fallujah, Iraq, admitting its troops used white phosphorus to incinerate Iraqis during the assault on Fallujah a few years ago.
The Element Phosphorus will ignite in the presence of Oxygen, and when deployed as a Chemical weapon White phosphorus will burn completely through human skin, flesh, and through bone without extinguishing. It is a slow and painful death even worse than Sarin poison nerve agent that America is prepared to destroy Syria for allegedly using. Israel uses this Chemical to exterminate the Palestinians.
As if this hypocrisy and double standards were not disturbing enough, we now find that the “Limey”/Englander – your so-called Mother-Country - was selling potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride, chemicals used to manufacture the poisonous nerve agent Sarin, to Syria. The licenses to sell were granted by the Department of Business, Innovation & Skills headed by Secretary Vince Cable even as the Civil war in Syria was known to all – even to Juke Bois.
Washington doesn't merely lack the legal authority for a military intervention in Syria. It lacks the moral authority. We're talking about a government with a history of using chemical weapons against innocent people far more prolific and deadly than the mere accusations Assad faces from a trigger-happy Western military-industrial complex, bent on stifling further investigation before striking.
Here is a list of 10 chemical weapons attacks carried out by the U.S. government or its allies against civilians.
1. The U.S. Military Dumped 20 Million Gallons of Chemicals on Vietnam from 1962 - 1971
During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military sprayed 20 million gallons of chemicals, including the very toxic Agent Orange, on the forests and farmlands of Vietnam and neighboring countries, deliberately destroying food supplies, shattering the jungle ecology, and ravaging the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Vietnam estimates that as a result of the decade-long chemical attack, 400,000 people were killed or maimed, 500,000 babies have been born with birth defects, and 2 million have suffered from cancer or other illnesses. In 2012, the Red Cross estimated that one million people in Vietnam have disabilities or health problems related to Agent Orange.
2. Israel Attacked Palestinian Civilians with White Phosphorus in 2008 - 2009 White phosphorus is a horrific incendiary chemical weapon that melts human flesh right down to the bone.
In 2009, multiple human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and International Red Cross reported that the Israeli government was attacking civilians in their own country with chemical weapons. An Amnesty International team claimed to find "indisputable evidence of the widespread use of white phosphorus" as a weapon in densely-populated civilian areas. The Israeli military denied the allegations at first, but eventually admitted they were true.
After the string of allegations by these NGOs, the Israeli military even hit a UN headquarters(!) in Gaza with a chemical attack. How do you think all this evidence compares to the case against Syria? Why didn't Obama try to bomb Israel?
3. Washington Attacked Iraqi Civilians with White Phosphorus in 2004
In 2004, journalists embedded with the U.S. military in Iraq began reporting the use of white phosphorus in Fallujah against Iraqi insurgents. First the military lied and said that it was only using white phosphorus to create smokescreens or illuminate targets. Then it admitted to using the volatile chemical as an incendiary weapon. At the time, Italian television broadcaster RAI aired a documentary entitled, "Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre," including grim video footage and photographs, as well as eyewitness interviews with Fallujah residents and U.S. soldiers revealing how the U.S. government indiscriminately rained white chemical fire down on the Iraqi city and melted women and children to death.
4. The CIA Helped Saddam Hussein Massacre Iranians and Kurds with Chemical Weapons in 1988
CIA records now prove that Washington knew Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons (including sarin, nerve gas, and mustard gas) in the Iran-Iraq War, yet continued to pour intelligence into the hands of the Iraqi military, informing Hussein of Iranian troop movements while knowing that he would be using the information to launch chemical attacks. At one point in early 1988, Washington warned Hussein of an Iranian troop movement that would have ended the war in a decisive defeat for the Iraqi government. By March an emboldened Hussein with new friends in Washington struck a Kurdish village occupied by Iranian troops with multiple chemical agents, killing as many as 5,000 people and injuring as many as 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Thousands more died in the following years from complications, diseases, and birth defects.
UNITED STATES POISON GASSED ITS OWN PEOPLE - AFRICAN AMERICANS
5. The Army Tested Chemicals on Residents of Poor, Black St. Louis Neighborhoods in The 1950s
In the early 1950s, the Army set up motorized blowers on top of residential high-rises in low-income, mostly black St. Louis neighborhoods, including areas where as much as 70% of the residents were children under 12. The government told residents that it was experimenting with a smokescreen to protect the city from Russian attacks, but it was actually pumping the air full of hundreds of pounds of finely powdered zinc cadmium sulfide. The government admits that there was a second ingredient in the chemical powder, but whether or not that ingredient was radioactive remains classified. Of course it does. Since the tests, an alarming number of the area's residents have developed cancer. In 1955, Doris Spates was born in one of the buildings the Army used to fill the air with chemicals from 1953 - 1954. Her father died inexplicably that same year, she has seen four siblings die from cancer, and Doris herself is a survivor of cervical cancer.
6. Police Fired Tear Gas at Occupy Protesters in 2011
The savage violence of the police against Occupy protesters in 2011 was well documented, and included the use of tear gas and other chemical irritants. Tear gas is prohibited for use against enemy soldiers in battle by the Chemical Weapons Convention. Can't police give civilian protesters in Oakland, California the same courtesy and protection that international law requires for enemy soldiers on a battlefield?
7. The FBI Attacked Men, Women, and Children With Tear Gas in Waco in 1993
At the infamous Waco siege of a peaceful community of Seventh Day Adventists, the FBI pumped tear gas into buildings knowing that women, children, and babies were inside. The tear gas was highly flammable and ignited, engulfing the buildings in flames and killing 49 men and women, and 27 children, including babies and toddlers. Remember, attacking an armed enemy soldier on a battlefield with tear gas is a war crime. What kind of crime is attacking a baby with tear gas?
8. The U.S. Military Littered Iraq with Toxic Depleted Uranium in 2003
In Iraq, the U.S. military has littered the environment with thousands of tons of munitions made from depleted uranium, a toxic and radioactive nuclear waste product. As a result, more than half of babies born in Fallujah from 2007 - 2010 were born with birth defects. Some of these defects have never been seen before outside of textbooks with photos of babies born near nuclear tests in the Pacific. Cancer and infant mortality have also seen a dramatic rise in Iraq. According to Christopher Busby, the Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, "These are weapons which have absolutely destroyed the genetic integrity of the population of Iraq." After authoring two of four reports published in 2012 on the health crisis in Iraq, Busby described Fallujah as having, "the highest rate of genetic damage in any population ever studied."
9. The U.S. Military Killed Hundreds of Thousands of Japanese Civilians with Napalm from 1944 - 1945
Napalm is a sticky and highly flammable gel which has been used as a weapon of terror by the U.S. military. In 1980, the UN declared the use of napalm on swaths of civilian population a war crime. That's exactly what the U.S. military did in World War II, dropping enough napalm in one bombing raid on Tokyo to burn 100,000 people to death, injure a million more, and leave a million without homes in the single deadliest air raid of World War II.
10. The U.S. Government Dropped Nuclear Bombs on Two Japanese Cities in 1945
Although nuclear bombs may not be considered chemical weapons, I believe we can agree they belong to the same category. They certainly disperse an awful lot of deadly radioactive chemicals. They are every bit as horrifying as chemical weapons if not more, and by their very nature, suitable for only one purpose: wiping out an entire city full of civilians. It seems odd that the only regime to ever use one of these weapons of terror on other human beings has busied itself with the pretense of keeping the world safe from dangerous weapons in the hands of dangerous governments.
