Guess what? More lies there too...We've been being lied to for a long long time.
We're told we're 'peace-keepers' and that we're providing 'humanitarian intervention', when in fact, 9 times out of 10, we've fomented and/or outright armed and trained the malcontents of the area for months, years beforehand, and then go rushing in there and pick one side over the other; call these ones the 'good guys', those ones the 'bad guys, and 'solve' the problem we helped to or entirely created. In the case of an all ready existing conflict, again, we pick sides based on our interests, not on human suffering. Divide and Conquer. Human suffering is a bonus for them, cause it helps get the citizens paying for it on board.
Check it out. Over and over and over.
They don't care about anyone. Not us, not the people in the middle east, not the people in Africa, no one. They care about money and power and control.
You're buying into the lie. They don't want peace, and they never have. That's something we want, not them.
Peace doesn't make money, and it's not them dying, it's 'us', 'our' kids, not theirs.

Well said, star for you!
Notice too that most times, all the alleged bad guys, and those we need to bring democracy to, are sitting on land full of natural resources that our governments, banks and corporations want to exploit, to their benefit. The military is just there to secure it, they are the enforcers, and a long way from being the "heroes" they are painted as. I don't blame the grunts, as they are just cannon fodder, there to do the bidding of those who hold power and to be discarded if they are unlucky enough to get killed or injured in the process.
They too though are brainwashed into this mindset of "might is right" and that what they are doing is somehow noble, when most of the time they are kept well away from any form of dissent or truth. Even those that do see it end up just fighting to stay alive in whatever place they are sent. There is nothing noble nor heroic in getting blown to bits or maimed for life for the benefit of a few sharp suited talking heads and rich business owners and bankers.
Unfortunately, we see the same pattern of disinformation - otherwise known as blatant lies - being peddled time and time again to justify more and more death and destruction, while those pushing it sit at home getting richer from the profits of war. Sick minded doesn't even come close to describing my feelings towards them!

And what are those resources in Syria? Are they hiding? Why does this HAVE to be a conspiracy? Why can't Assad be simply clinging to power in a civil war? Why does this have to go deeper than that?

Back to Syria...What resources are there? Natural gas and oil (and the pipeline contracts etc).
"Oil and Gas find offshore Syria motive for US Israeli mercenary uprising and bloodshed in Syria"
counterpsyops.com...
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the Levant Basin, which covers Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Palestine, contains around 122 trillion cubic feet of gas and at least 1.7 billion barrels of oil.
And:

Look another idiotic deflection.

This indeed does sound terrible.... I just hope they aint got the range on missiles to hit England.... Europe for that matter or all hell will break loose!!
I'm prtty sure Englands defenses are capable of shooting these things out of the sky if they even came close to doing so.... I did read those ranges but who knows for sure how may rockets they have and how fa they can travel??
This chemical Bombs aren't something you'd want in your back garden and I do seriously hope that those bombs, aircrafts, missiles... whatever are disposed of and whether that is with our intervention or not... it has to be done.
Time to get those drones into Syria to take there stack out!!edit on 6-12-2012 by TruthxIsxInxThexMist because: (no reason given)
