Oh Crap: Proof Of WAR CRIMES By Obama?
 

Oh oh....

Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could be blamed on Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country.

A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence where a scheme 'approved by Washington' is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons.

There is a very clean argument that this is a solicitation to commit mass-murder using banned weapons of mass destruction.  That is, exactly the sort of thing that people went to the gallows for at Nuremburg.

One of the sources cited is, unfortunately, Infowars.  But there appears to be some corroborating evidence.

This is absolutely something that needs immediate investigation given that it is now in the International news and appears to have at least some independent evidence of veracity.

Quote:
The White House this morning releases a new video from President Obama announcing that he will provide $155 million in aid to Syria. The released video of the President’s statement includes Arabic subtitles.

The text of the statement is below:

For nearly two years, the Assad regime has waged a brutal war against the Syrian people—murdering innocent men, women and children, in their homes, in bread lines, and at universities.

In the face of this barbarism, the United States has joined with nations around the world in calling for an end to the Assad regime and a transition that leads to a peaceful, inclusive and democratic Syria, where the rights of all Syrians are protected. We’ve worked to isolate Assad and his regime; impose sanctions that starve the regime of funds; recognize the Syrian Opposition Coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people; call for accountability for perpetrators of atrocities; and provide humanitarian relief to Syrians in need.

The relief we send doesn’t say “Made in America,” but make no mistake—our aid reflects the commitment of the American people. American aid means food and clean water for millions of Syrians. American aid means medicine and treatment for hundreds of thousands of patients in Damascus, Dar’a and Homs. It means immunizations for one million Syrian children. American aid means winter supplies for more than half a million people in Aleppo, Homs and Dayr az Zawr. And we’re working with allies and partners so that this aid reaches those in need.

Today, we’re taking another step. I’ve approved an additional $155 million in humanitarian aid for people in Syria and refugees fleeing the violence. Here, I want to speak directly to the people of Syria. This new aid will mean more warm clothing for children and medicine for the elderly; flour and wheat for your families and blankets, boots and stoves for those huddled in damaged buildings. It will mean health care for victims of sexual violence and field hospitals for the wounded. Even as we work to end the violence against you, this aid will help address some of the immediate needs you face each day.

This new commitment will bring America’s total humanitarian aid to Syria to $365 million—making us the largest single donor of humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people. Today, I also call on the international community to do more to help these Syrians in need, and to contribute to the latest UN humanitarian appeal.

We’re under no illusions. The days ahead will continue to be very difficult. But what’s clear is that the regime continues to weaken and lose control of territory. The opposition continues to grow stronger. More Syrians are standing up for their dignity. The Assad regime will come to an end. The Syrian people will have their chance to forge their own future. And they will continue to find a partner in the United States of America.

and all this while at the same time he kept telling Syria that he would take military action if the established gov't used chemical weapons... if this is correct, they about puts us right at the stage of nazi germany, this would confirm for me that this country is officially over the deep end.

There are no shortage of war crimes committed by the Bush administration as well as many CIA agents who have been found guilty in absentia in Italy for kidnapping an Egyptian, torturing, then dumping him. Obama has ignored them as well as his own. Subscribe to Glenn Greenwald if your blood pressure can stand it.

If Wall Street has no handcuffs, why do you expect Obama's even closer circle to even worry?

Yeah Karl he's possibly caught doing a war crime ( but to some of us so was BUSH II) but as you so astutely point out on your youtube video from the Tea Party 11-14-2012 speech he won't be impeached successfully so long as the Senate is Democratically controlled!

Infowars is not a good source. Alex Jones is wrong as often as he is right and his overuse of hyperbole only serves his detractors.

Anybody know whether or not there is any realistic possibility of the Senate changing hands in the 2014 elections?

I wish I could say I was surprised. But I'm not. And nothing will come of it anyway. The MSM will ignore it, and the AmeriKan people will continue to watch "The Biggest Loser" (those who watch it are...), and "Dancing With the Stars".

No change. No consequences.

Eh, I don't see much here. Not that I don't believe it, but now we have to somehow vet some unnamed Qataris who "swore" the idea was approved by DC. What are the chances of that happening? ****, we'll be lucky if we ever find out their names.

I dunno, I see stuff like this floating around the web all the time, and I don't get excited over it... unless Karl Tickers it, of course.
