Of outrage against chemical attacks..

Re: Of outrage against chemical attacks..
When John Kerry was making that speech, did anyone else think "He's lying"?
Reminds me of the WMDs (or not) in Libya.
Anyways, I was reliably told that it's all Qatar and the west's fault as they are trying to sell gas to Europe via a pipeline through Syria, the rebels want it, the government doesn't. Nor does China or Russia (Gasprom sell billions to Europe each year), hence an East/West war by proxy.
You just know it'll go seriously pair shaped.
And anyway, I thought the UK was broke, how can they afford a war?

Re: Of outrage against chemical attacks..
It was in the local paper..
The National
Bit more background in the Guardian
Assad refused to sign a proposed agreement with Qatar that would run a pipeline from the latter's North field, contiguous with Iran's South Pars field, through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey, with a view to supply European markets - albeit crucially bypassing Russia. Assad's rationale was "to protect the interests of [his] Russian ally, which is Europe's top supplier of natural gas."
