Nigel Farage Warns "Military Intervention In Syria Could Lead To Something Far Bigger"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2013 13:44 -0400

While Nigel Farage personal view that it is 'probable' that Assad did what the US and British are accusing him of, he notes "it is not absolutely certain," and before we go to war, "we must have absolute proof and certainty." Commenting on the British and US seeming enthusiasm for another Middle Eastern 'war', Farage provides a few minutes of common sense in this brief clip when he notes that Europe remains split - though "moral outrage" at the accusations will likely mean they support the attacks (adding that "moral outrage alone is not enough to warrant attacks."). The UKIP leader then warned that "military intervention in Syria could lead to something far bigger, and even more worrying than we are seeing at the moment." Finally, Farage notes that "whenever we get involved in the Middle East, we tend to make things worse, not better," and as ghastly as the actions being committed are, there is nothing the British (or American) military can do to make things better.

Iran's PressTV Reports US Troops Mobilized Along Jordan-Syria Border

When it comes to the accuracy of its reporting, PressTV is somewhere just left (or right) of Debka, so take this with a metric ton of salt. However, it bears reporting on the off chance it is accurate. From PressTV:

US troops backed by tanks and fighter jets have been mobilized along the Jordan-Syria border, as the West appears to be moving toward military action against Damascus, reports say.

That said, we would wait for confirmation from at least SyriaNow before lending much if any credibility to this report.
