Yeah, I know, I haven’t stopped laughing and it’s hard to type with tears running down my face, but France finally found something to get outraged about in the Middle East – namely Syria’s supposed use of chemical weapons yesterday. From CNN<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Hours after the closed-door meeting, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told CNN affiliate BFMTV that “a reaction of force must be taken” if the allegations are true.<\/p>\n

“If the U.N. Security Council cannot do it, decisions will be made otherwise,” Fabius said. But, he said, sending ground troops to Syria is out of question.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure that Fabius is not threatening the use of French troops or armament – mostly likely some form of having someone else do something. Apparently, Russia and China have blocked the Security Council from doing anything which forces the UN to recognize it’s absolute uselessness in world affairs. <\/p>\n

Yuval Steinitz, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, told Israel Radio Thursday morning that its intelligence assessments indicated that “chemical weapons were used, and they were not used for the first time.”<\/p>\n

He accused the international community of “paying lip service” when it comes to Syria.<\/p>\n

“Nothing practical, significant, has been done in the last two years in order to stop the continuing massacre of civilians carried out by the Assad regime,” he said. “I think that the investigation of the United Nations is a joke.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not to mention their inability to stop Iran from building a nuclear arsenal. <\/p>\n

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called on the United Nations to act decisively, Turkey’s semi-official Anadolu news agency reported.<\/p>\n

Davutoglu said “all red lines” have been crossed without the United Nations taking action in Syria and that the body “can’t assume an undecisive attitude about chemical weapon attacks” there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, you guys made the UN a bloated bureaucracy that can’t get out of it’s own way, so live with it or dismantle it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
