U.N. weapons inspectors to return to Syria

U.N. investigators are planning to return to Syria soon to follow up on several more allegations of chemical weapons use.

Ake Sellstrom, the head of the inspection team that visited after an August 21 attack, told CNN that the second visit could take place as early as next week.

The news will likely please Russia, who slammed a recent U.N. chemical weapons report as "one-sided" and called for inspectors to return to Syria.

    Pl read that incorrigible and remarkable columnist Uri Avnery's article "The only good war is the war avoided-Why is Israel Furious". It appeared in common Dreams yesterday.

    @ saywhat
    We have marched so close to the precipice this time, I don't know that we will be able to back away from it. It's kind of like marching towards a cliff and the order to halt comes one step to late.

    I tried to pull up that article you mentioned @ saywhat and was unable to. However i did find some pertinate info. The very fact that in 1982 Assads father began to produce chemical arms was because Israel was producing them so he felt it was necessary for protection. Which makes total sense! So why is Israel itching to start all these wars and involve the US? So they can take over the Syrian country. And WHY would we help them? It makes absolutely no sense for us to help them EVER to do these things!

    Want to know what's really stupid? The House trying to defund Obamacare again. It's mandatory spending, meaning even if the House shuts down the government, Obamacare still goes forward. Worked so well in 1996, didn't it? Idiot GOTP. Go ahead. Bwa ha ha ha ha!!

    Not only would they refuse to fund the government beyond Sept. 30 unless President Obama agrees to abolish Obamacare — the signature achievement of his presidency — but they would allow the government to default on its debt in October if Obama does not meet their demands on taxes, energy policy and the health-care law.

      So the Reep Creeps are holding the government hostage unless they get their way. Go ahead, don't fund the gov and default on our loans. Get our credit rating lowered. UnAmerican treasonous should be charged with high crimes and misdemeanors and jailed.
