    BILL O’REILLY BATTLES MILITARY EXPERTS OVER U.S. INTERVENTION IN SYRIA – AND GETS DOU

    BILL O’REILLY BATTLES MILITARY EXPERTS OVER U.S. INTERVENTION IN SYRIA – AND GETS DOUBLE-TEAMED

    Aug. 27, 2013 10:21pm Jason Howerton

    Video at the Page Link:

    Bill O’Reilly made it crystal clear on Tuesday that he supports U.S. intervention in war torn Syria following reports of the regime using chemical weapons. In fact, he actually called opponents of intervention “loons” earlier in the day.

    But the TV host found himself double-teamed by two military analysts, Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Col. David Hunt, who both agree there are still too many unknowns in Syria to justify military action.

    (Fox News)

    Peters argued the U.S. is considering “helping Al Qaeda” to stop Syrian President Bashar Assad, a “murderer.”

    “On one side you have Assad, Hezbollah, Iran — horrible people. On the other side, it’s increasingly dominated by Al Qaeda…the team that brought you 9/11. Right now, in Syria, our enemies are killing each other,” he said. “Where in our Constitution does it say we should stop our enemies from killing each other?”

    O’Reilly said the situation in Syria is “humanitarian issue” and the violation of the Geneva Convention justifies U.S. action. “If that is allowed to stand, forget about it, it’s going to be used all over the world,” he added.

    Hunt pushed back, reminding O’Reilly that it has not been conclusively confirmed that chemical weapons were used or that it was the Assad regime and not the Syrian rebels that used them.
    O’Reilly said the U.S. had to “assume” that Assad used chemical weapons and told the two military experts they sound like those who argued against U.S. intervention in World War II.

    SENIOR SYRIAN OFFICIAL WARNS: IF U.S. STRIKES DAMASCUS, WE’LL SET TEL AVIV ‘ON FIRE’

    Aug. 28, 2013 7:40am Sharona Schwartz

    A senior Syrian military official says if the U.S. or a coalition of nations attacks Syrian government forces, Syria and its allies will launch an immediate attack on Israel.

    “If Damascus comes under attack, Tel Aviv will be targeted too and a full-scale war against Syria will actually issue a license for attacking Israel,” said the Syrian army official who spoke to Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency on condition of anonymity.

    “We are rest assured that if Syria is attacked, Israel will also be set on fire and such an attack will, in turn, engage Syria’s neighbors,” he said in the Tuesday interview.

    The official warned that U.S. intervention on the side of jihadi, Al Qaeda-linked rebels could, in fact, create a more dangerous scenario for Israel.

    “Therefore, weakening the central government in Damascus will actually start growing attacks on Israel and will create insecurity for that regime,” he said.

    “Thus, a U.S. attack on Syria will herald frequent strikes and attacks on Israel, not just by Damascus and its allies in retaliation, but by extremist groups who will find a ground for staging their aspirations,” he added.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would respond forcefully to any retaliatory attacks against his country. After convening his security advisers on Tuesday to discuss the escalating crisis, Netanyahu vowed, “The state of Israel is ready for any scenario. We are not part of the civil war in Syria but if we identify any attempt whatsoever to harm us, we will respond and we will respond in strength.”

    Israeli diplomatic correspondents reported that Netanyahu convened his security cabinet again on Wednesday morning to discuss Syria. This came as Israeli security and rescue forces began a two-day drill in the Golan Heights along the Syrian border on Tuesday.

    Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told the BBC Tuesday that U.S. forces are ready to act should President Barack Obama give the order to strike Syrian government assets.

    The unnamed Syrian military official’s threats come on the heels of a similar threat from a senior Iranian parliamentary official who also said Israel would be targeted in the event of an American strike.

    “No military attack will be waged against Syria,” Hossein Sheikholeslam, the director-general of the parliament for International Affairs, said Monday according to Fars News. “Yet, if such an incident takes place, which is impossible, the Zionist regime will be the first victim of a military attack on Syria.”

    Another threat in recent days came from Syrian Deputy Information Minister Halaf Al-Maftah who told an Arabic-language radio station that Syria and its allies Iran, Iraq and Lebanon – along with terrorist groups – could attack Israel, according to Israel National News.

    ‘WE DON’T SURVIVE’: GLENN BECK BREAKS DOWN POSSIBLE RAMIFICATIONS OF U.S. ENTERING WAR IN SYRIA

    Aug. 27, 2013 2:52pm Erica Ritz

    Video at the Page Link:

    Glenn Beck warned America in the strongest of terms on Tuesday that military intervention in Syria could lead to World War III, with the United States squaring off against China, Russia and Iran.

    Beck’s warning came as Secretary of State John Kerry said it is “undeniable” that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, something President Barack Obama has called a “red line” that would change our approach to the nation’s civil war.

    “I learned my lesson [in Iraq], he didn’t,” Beck said. “[John Kerry is] now going to repeat exactly the same thing.”

    But unlike with Iraq, when it was asserted that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destructionand was a clear and present threat to the United States, Beck said he hasn’t heard the second part of that case made yet. If anything, it can be argued that intervention is what poses the threat.

    “Why?” Beck asked. “Because today Russia and now China have added their name to the list of, ‘Don’t do anything in Syria.’ So now we have Russia, Iran and China telling us, ‘mind your own business.’”

    Unless the U.S. is willing to get into World War III against the aforementioned powers and poke “another hornet’s nest” of Islamic extremism, Beck said, you have to be “out of your mind” to intervene.

    “We don’t survive that,” he said.

    “You go against China, who buys all of our debt?” he asked, adding that Russia has already begun turning arms shipments from America to the Middle East.

    “Don’t screw with this,” he said. “This is World War III in the making.”

    Watch the entire segment below:

    Earlier in the program, Beck examined how we arrived at this point.

    “What caused this? What caused the 100,000 to die?” he asked. “What caused the 100,000 to die was making the Tunisian cart guy into Rosa Parks, and allowing that to spread into Egypt. Now I’m saying we should stop people from wanting to be free, they have every right to want to be free…however, that’s not what we did. We went in and destabilized – intentionally destabilized – the entire Middle East, and we did so with this crazy thought that everybody’s the same. ‘There’s nothing unique about America, the American experiment, the American revolution — that’s nothing, that happens all the time…’”

    And while many were cheering on the Arab Spring, Beck said, some were saying, “I don’t like dictators in the Middle East and we should not be in bed with them, but to cheer this on is insanitybecause it will spread across the Middle East…”

    “And so what happened?” he continued. “It spread across the Middle East, and they started to destabilize Syria…how many people have to die? We, our government, is partially responsible, and I think in large part responsible, for what is happening in the Middle East. Now when are we going to learn our lesson? Ever? Or will it be too late?”

    ‘THE PROXY WAR IS ABOUT TO BE DISCOVERED’: BECK EXPLAINS WHY HE FEARS WE MIGHT SEE WORLD WAR III

    Aug. 5, 2013 4:45pm Erica Ritz

    Video at the Page Link:


    (Photo: TheBlaze TV)

    Glenn Beck reflected on the latest news across the Middle East and within the United States on radio Monday, saying he continues to fear the path we are on leads to World War III.

    “My theory is this whole thing is coming apart at the seams, that this thing is at its end,” he said, proceeding to reflect on how many years passed between the election of former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the beginning of World War II.

    “Just like with FDR, I think things are falling apart,” Beck explained. He specifically pointed out that a wildly disproportionate amount of U.S. jobs added in July were part-time, low-paying, or both, and that many are blaming the burdensome costs the president’s health care plan places on employers.

    Couple economic instability with a “proxy war” in the Middle East, Beck said, and trouble is on the horizon.

    “You’re at the point now where the proxy war is about to be discovered,” Beck asserted. “Russia has picked Iran; we have picked the Muslim Brotherhood and Libya and Egypt…”

    “It’s been a cold war, it’s been a proxy war, it’s been one where nobody really understands it yet, but I think you’re about to,” he continued. “I think this whole thing in the Middle East is the beginning of the end of the proxy war and a covert war. You are now going to see an openly hot war, I fear, and the beginning of World War III.”

    SYRIA: OBAMA’S WEAPON OF MASS DISTRACTION

    Aug. 28, 2013 10:48am
    WAYNE ALLYN ROOT

    Wayne Allyn Root is a Capitalist Evangelist, entrepreneur, and Libertarian-conservative Republican. Wayne began his career as a sports handicapper, and has gone on to host and appear on many of the biggest television and radio news networks including: FOX News Channel, FOX Business Network, CNBC, and radio shows like Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Jerry Doyle and Mancow Muller. He is a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee. Wayne's latest book is out on April 15, 2013: "The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide: Secrets to Protecting Your Family, Your Finances, and Your Freedom."


    Three things are happening right now under Obama that are unprecedented.

    First, Obama is about to go to war in Syria and risk the lives of your sons and daughters on behalf of our enemy Al Qaeda.
    Second, he is about to risk starting World War III.

    Third, Obama has chosen curious “red lines” for the American people. Obama’s defenders say: “Syria passed the red line. We have no choice.”

    Really?

    So we now call extremist Muslims killing other extremist Muslims a “red line” that demands U.S. intervention?

    But extremist Muslims in Egypt burning over 70 churches to the ground and killing Christians is not a “red line?” In one place (Syria) we want to go to war. In the other (Egypt) we continue to send billions in foreign aid as a reward.

    Are you on board with Obama’s goals?

    Why the sudden drumbeat for war? Could it be because America’s unemployment problem under Obama is unfixable? Ninety million working-age Americans are not working. The Labor Participation rate is the lowest for men since 1947 (since measurement began). Obama has no way out.

    The same holds true for our partners in the EU like the U.K. and France. Unemployment for the EU region is 12.1% — the worst in history. Almost 20 million Europeans are unemployed. Youth unemployment in the EU is just under 25%.

    How do you solve such a human psychological disaster? You go to war.

    Voila. Suddenly young people with no job prospects have a job- in the military. They have a check…a place to live..something to do. They no longer have time to commit crimes, or riot in the streets.

    America got out of the last Great Depression with the help of World War II. How convenient that Obama lit the fuse for the Arab Spring…helped to topple dictators friendly to U.S. interests…and took the side of the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, it’s all coming home to roost.

    We fomented instability, supported the radicals who hate America and Israel, and now we’re feigning shock that the Middle East is in flames? Remember that line from the police captain in the movie Casablanca? “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”

    What a funny coincidence that a war would solve Obama’s worst problems all at once:


    1. War would stir patriotism and force Americans to rally around the President.
    2. ObamaCare is a nightmare for Obama and his party. It’s so unpopular even Democrats and unions are running away from it. Congress has passed a law to exempt themselves. Obama himself is postponing major aspects of ObamaCare for fear it will lead to a GOP landslide in 2014. Going to war is the perfect distraction, at the perfect time.
    3. Obama couldn’t create a job if it hit him in the face. He can’t spell J-O-B. War will create instant jobs. And hey, if thousands of young men die, that too will reduce the ranks of the unemployed for years to come.


    “Nonsense” Obama’s supporters will protest. You know, those same people that marched in the streets protesting our involvement in Iraq. Those same people who questioned CIA intelligence about “weapons of mass distraction,” yet who now readily accept the CIA’s claims about Syria using chemical weapons. Those same people who called Bush a murderer, now accept Obama bombing and killing citizens in Syria. Syria is the new Iraq.

    The key to life (and politics) is to choose your friends carefully. In Egypt Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the same group that supported the Nazis during WWII. Their leader Muhammad Morsi said in speech last year, “The Qur’an is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader, Jihad is our path and death in the name of Allah is our goal.”

    In Syria, our new friends are worse than the Muslim Brotherhood (if that’s possible). The rebels fighting the Syrian government are Al Qaeda. These are the murderous terrorists who are the sworn enemies of America and Israel. This is who Obama is asking our sons and daughters to die for?

    Have we learned nothing from Iraq?

    I was gung-ho about Iraq. I thought it was a noble cause to set the Iraqi people free from a tyrant. You know what I found out? We meant well, but it was a disaster. It was none of our business. It was not worth the cost — in dollars or human life.

    The Iraqi people we heroically risked and sacrificed for, don’t thank us, they hate us. Why would we want to do it again? Our Middle East interventions CAUSE more hatred, more terrorism, more death.

    Let’s not forget that our intervention in Libya put weapons in the hands of radical Muslims who it now appears used those weapons to attack our own Libyan Embassy and murder our U.S. Ambassador and 3 brave Navy Seals. You know, that’s the tragedy that was covered up by Obama and Hillary Clinton by blaming it on a movie. Who killed our brave men in that Libyan embassy? Al Qaeda. The people Obama now wants to partner with.

    Have we not learned that our Middle East interventions always work out badly? Now we are going to do it again. Except this time it’s far worse. This time Russia and China and Iran are on Syria’s side. This time it could lead to World War III. Have we lost our minds?

    I have obvious questions…

    First, was this Obama’s plan from the start? Is war the only way out to save the U.S. economy from collapse? Is war the perfect way to distract the American people from the economic carnage caused by Obama’s policies?

    Second, would you send your son or daughter to die to support Al Qaeda? I know I wouldn’t.

    This is a new level of insanity- even for Obama.

    O’Reilly said the situation in Syria is “humanitarian issue” and the violation of the Geneva Convention justifies U.S. action. “If that is allowed to stand, forget about it, it’s going to be used all over the world,” he added.
    I'm always amazed at O'Reilly and other like him who have never served, would not allow or want there children going but they are always anxious for us to be the world's police and engage in "humanitarian work" he does not understand nor explain how America a dying middle class can afford these acts. The military guys were correctO'Reilly and Krauthammer were wrong but understandable as they live in the New York bubble.
    I'm old with many opinions few solutions.

    Confirmed: RF, China walk out of UN SC meeting after US call for immediate action in Syria

    UNITED NATIONS, August 28 (Itar-Tass) – The Russian and Chinese officials walked out of the U.N. Security Council meeting in New York on Wednesday, August 28, after U.S. Permanent Representative Samantha Power had called for an immediate action in Syria.

    The permanent members of the U.N. Security Council – Russia, Britain, China, the U.S. and France – had been invited to the closed meeting. An hour later the Russian and Chinese diplomats left the meeting and headed to the Security Council’s main conference room where debates on Haiti was taking place.

    Western countries may, until the end of the day, submit to the Security Council a draft resolution that will give the green light to an armed operation in Syria. Russia and China, which have the right of veto in the Security Council, have spoken up strongly against the use of force.

    However Western countries have made it clear that they might take measures without waiting for the U.N. Security Council’s decision as they did in 1999 in Kosovo. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said this would be a gross violation of international law.

    Meanwhile, Syria has asked the U.N. to investigate three chemical attacks carried out by rebels in the suburbs of Damascus on August 22, 23 and 24.
