Cheat Sheet on Syria

by George Washington

The U.S. is about to attack Syria. Hereā€™s what you need to know:

  • Russia has repeatedly stated that it would consider an attack on Syria as an attack on its national security. China has also strongly cautioned the U.S. against attacking Syria. China and Russia hold a lot of U.S. debt, and could make life difficult for us economically if we unnecessarily anger them
  • Even though the U.S. government claims that the Syrian government is the perpetrator, it admits that it has no idea who in the government ordered the attack. It could have been a rogue, low-level military officer.Ā  Given that American, British and other Western soldiers have pleaded guilty to massacring civilians and committing war crimes, should we condemn the entire Syrian regime if it turns out to be a crime carried out by one rogue officer? (Update: U.S. and British intelligence now that admit they donā€™t know whether it was the rebels or the Syrian government who carried out the attack)
  • Attacking Syria without Congressional approval would be unconstitutional, and over 150 Congress members have demanded a vote on Syria
  • The U.S. and Britain considered attacking Syrians and then blaming it on the Syrian government as an excuse for regime change ā€¦ 50 years ago (the U.S. just admitted that they did this to Iran)
  • America is not involved in Syria because that country poses a threat to Americaā€™s security ā€¦ but for entirely different reasons
  • Many see the timing of the Syria crisis as an attempt by the U.S. government to distract from its domestic scandals. If you need a reminder about whatā€™s going on inside our country, hereā€™s a cheat sheet on spying
