phart Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The best bit is the trying to fudge the lines between the FFM fact finding mission and the Core team. Since it got pointed out to him that even the head of the OPCW is saying Henderson was part of the FFM they're no saying but not the core team. But the Core team never went there the FFM did. But due to names you might think it's the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Wondered when Syria would come back into the mainstream again. Is it still Russia / Assad bad, white helmets / UN and the US good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Peter Hitchens writing about it... https://spectator.us/trump-syria-missile-strike-scandal/ No recognition from Trump on it of course and instead he blames Iran for Iraqis attacking the US embassy in Baghdad... same pattern of deceit being played out with them as with Syria.

I was reading ages ago about how Iran got a hold of a list of agents and started purging, no idea if she was being used or just an innocent victim. Although i think the Aussies managed to negotiate someone in ostensibly the same position back home recently.

Squirrelhumper Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Any other country wiping out a high ranking state official in an assassination would be widely condemned. These cunts get away with it time and time again. State sponsored terrorism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Here's an intersting article about the guy who got killed from years ago He's the most popular person in the entire administration of Iran it seems, even with under 25's he was 75% approval, some poor dude who made his name in the Iran-Iraq war, also highly effective at his job so can see why he is a target. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/09/30/the-shadow-commander Fucking annoying all the US folk going on about terrorism when we and them have littered countries in the area with dead.

Her immediate problem is that because Boris Johnson made such an arse of her case when he was foreign secretary they have huge leverage and have a massive reason to keep her imprisoned. Its embarrassing to him personally and will continue to cause problems for him at home so long as she's still there. Essentially pretty much everyone in the UK thinks its his fault she's still locked up and its hard to argue against that. Had Johnson not become PM, I think she'd have been released by now. For Iran, they have a choice, extract a very big price for her release or continue to make Johnson look bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Will voters realise that Trump the president is doing the opposite of Trump the candidate? Similar to Obama in many respects. Maybe I’m naive but I hope the vast majority of US voters have no interest in Middle East wars and understand it doesn’t serve their interests. Not that it will make a difference.

phart Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Speaking on Israel’s Channel 13, journalist Barak Ravid said that the “United States informed Israel” about the operation in Iraq to kill Iranian military leader Gen. Qassem Suleimani “a few days ago.” Additionally, The Los Angeles Times reports that an “Israeli army officer with knowledge of Israeli military assessments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to speak to reporters,” said that the attack that killed Suleimani “did not come as a surprise.” https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/trump-administration-briefed-israel-on-the-suleimani-attack-before-it-briefed-congress-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
