Reports have been appearing in various pro-government media outlets since September 20 that some Russian warships, deployed in Syria’s coastal waters, hit with missiles a foreign-led military operations room near Aleppo city, killing 30 Israeli, US, Turkish, Saudi, Qatari and British officers.
The military operations room was allegedly located in the western part of Aleppo province in the middle of Sam’an mountain. It was set up by foreign intelligence services in order to coordinate operations of various militant group against the Syrian government forces in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib.
Most of the pro-government media outlets cites the Arabic-language service of the Russian Sputnik news agency as a main source of the information.
According to AlMasdarNews:
“Russian warships fired caliber rockets onto the command posts of the terrorists in western Aleppo, where Turkish, Saudi, Israeli, UK, and US officers are deployed to aid their operations,” Sputnik News Agency reported on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Fars News Agency believes that it was on Wednesday:
“The Russian warships fired three Caliber missiles at the foreign officers’ coordination operations room in Dar Ezza region in the Western part of Aleppo near Sam’an mountain, killing 30 Israeli and western officers,” the Arabic-language service of the Russian Sputnik news agency quoted battlefield source in Aleppo as saying on Wednesday.
While there are no doubts that various ‘opposition’ and terrorist groups in Syria are trained, supplied and managed by foreign intelligence services (mostly US, Turkish and Saudi), the pro-government sources have not provided video or photo evidences in order to confirm this report. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented on the issue.
I find it hard to believe that Israelis or U.S. officers would be located anywhere near Aleppo since neither military is directing air strikes in that area against R+6. Farsnews is on a par with the Jerusalem Post in terms of sensationalistic stories.
This feels like a story geared towards boosting morale after the Deir Ezzor massacre. It’s possible that Turkish troops could have been in the area. If the Russians had intelligence that such a location existed, I’d put it at 50 / 50 that they’d orchestrate an attack of this nature. They could claim plausible deniability since no U.S. personnel are not supposed to be in the area and we in the U.S. have been building up some real bad Karma for a while now. However, this story seems off to me.
When I say that we in the U.S. have been building some bad Karma, let me clarify. We have been almost happy to see Russians killed by proxy. However, Putin is not the petty sort, he would not do this unless it served an actual purpose. 1. Georgia 2008. 2. The Turkish downing of the Russian Jet by a U.S. made F15 and our diplomatic support for Turkey. 3. About a dozen Russians have been killed in Syria, at least one confirmed kill by a U.S. made TOW anti-tank missile on a helicopter. How many more kills by U.S. made weapons? Don’t know. Morell’s comments don’t help and seem to echo a wider sentiment in U.S. intelligence and military circles.
We have a bunch of loons in the U.S. that don’t take war seriously.
2. it was a F-16 3. Jihadists have had plenty of TOW missiles since years. But there is no “confirmed kill” from an helicopter, state your source otherwise it’s a falsity. Also, in all likeness, at least three US servicemen have been killed by the Turkish army in clashes with the kurds. The news was over some medias last week, and it’s confirmed their coffins reached the US city of Chicago some day of that week. Erdogan was later commenting that the 3 US soldiers were terrorists and that the US should not honor them.
2. Okay, F-16 but still a U.S. made plane. We go ballistic at the mere thought of U.S. serviceman being killed in Iraq with any material support by Iran. Perhaps the Russians have similar feelings.
3. When the Su-24 was shot down, another Russian was killed trying to rescue one of the pilots piloting a helicopter after being shot by a TOW missile. I thought that this was well established. Also, I thought that it was highly suspected that the helicopter shot down in Idlib this year was also downed by a TOW. All TOW’s are manufactured in the U.S. so even if they get there through an intermediary like Turkey or the Saudis it might tick off the Russians.
If we were upset by this usage of TOWs we would stop the Saudis and Turks from supplying them much like we were able to get them to not supply MANPADs to the rebels. However, it seems like the rebels do have MANPADs.
They where not full time US servicemen, but US volunteers. Just like Russian volunteers in Ukraine fighting in that theatre of war.
Most US forces that see combat are mercenaries these days. They do their time in the military, and then go private for one of the many mercenary companies that operate out of the US and UK. They don’t get any Government benefits, or medals, but they still work for Uncle Sham, as contractors.
Colombia has been complaining that the US Government has been poaching so many Columbian soldiers to fight in Yemen that the Columbian army is being diminished.
This Kalibr strike, if true, looks like a good start towards making them take war seriously. “You kill our people, we kill your people. But we kill YOUR people”.
Get the fuq out of my country. WTF is a chuba? Vowel ending POS immigrant. Stupid SLAV retard.
foreign officers are not deployed only to direct airstrikes. Actually, they could be involved in the planning phase of the jihadist operations, which is very likely as the headchoppers lack any significant capability in producing high level commanders. All the evidence points to a sort of unified command structure that comprises ISIS, Al-Nusra and Al-Sham, alongside those who’re called FSA and others. It’s pretty clear that the jihadist forces have always coordinating their efforts at operational level, and for that to happen, it’s mandatory that some competent people direct them. It could be Turkish and Saudis, but excluding Israeli and western being in the same war rooms wouold be extremely naive.
the agent is in field is lt, captain, major. that means, officer.
i can realise such situation, however, i am sceptic too.
ISIS is a western backed group. turn off fox news, dumb goyim.
bork-bork
Wrong, ISIS is a Saudi backed group.
You are the typical uninformed islamofascist.
Yeah, the Saudi gov’t sold them Israeli manfuacturered firearms.
The Israelis are also providing medical aid to ISIS jihadists as well.
The Saudis don’t have Israeli arms.
The Israelis are not treating ISIS, they are treating other Syrian rebels and Syrian civilians. Do you think every rebel group is ISIS?
There are dozens of rebel groups besides ISIS.
yes, they fight along side ISIS for the same goal.
Really, Israel wants a caliphate run by Sharia law?
Btw, Israel is not fighting in Syria or Iraq.
You don’t know much about the ME.
Yes..the israeli govt has said it prefers ISIS over Assad.
Go away JIDF
Cite a source you lying sack of dog sh*t.
All you do is make things up because you are stupid.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/yaalon-i-would-prefer-islamic-state-to-iran-in-syria/
“Ya’alon: I would prefer Islamic State to Iran in Syria.”
Ya’alon stated Iran was a greater risk than ISIS. He said nothing about preferring ISIS over Assad.
Your initial statement is misleading and you continue to demonstrate that you are stupid.
I’m sure you have no clue as to Ya’alon’s reasoning.
Okay Moshe
Islamic State Fighters have been found with western arms (Israeli guns) as well.
Tell your JIDF masters that hasbara isnt working anymore
Shalom
There are literally millions of US Arms scattered throughout the world and to suggest that ISIS members cannot get their hands on them from thousands of various sources shows just what a moron you are.
.223 is a NATO round you fool.
I am the master of my thoughts and ideas.
Since when are the Saudis or Israelis fighting in Syria?
The source is Sputnik not Fars News.
Russia just smoke anyone who is encouraging and supporting these head chopper scums
If its Der El Zor again You have paranoia like the Turks around Kurds.
Nato hit hard ONCE, 1, one and has killed several 1000 ISIS by airstrikes and mainly kurds for years.
One time, and now east is west and black is whithe.
No wonder everybody is kiling everbody there. Soon we might buy some for our zoo`s and museums and breathe them by DNA – and it will be 1 man to – How many voman …
You confirm ehat i have ment since Afghanistan. Fence around it. Oil out food in.
US was bombing ISIS for a year and a half, with no greater success. Russia took out the complete oil convoys of ISIS stolen oil smuggeled into Tyrkey in just over two weeks, if you wonder why gas prices raised once again. The US war on ISIS in Syria is just a theatric fasad offically, consider they are funding rebels with weapons and money which also goes to ISIS. Soon I guess you claim the white helmets are good samarians.
Eye for eye.
Warning! Oscar Oscar Oscar.
Ha-ha-ha Kilo,Kilo,Kilo.
If true, this action could be seen as a revenge for the bombing in Deir ez-Zor, where probably also some russian special forces have been eliminated. In this case the Kremlin preferred not to make public the loss of these men, opting instead for a strike into the operation room. An eye for an eye, as said below…
It is not enough revenge, as it is only 30 foreigners/invaders in Syria. Having 100 soldiers killed in your own country by outsiders calls for a much larger revenge than 30.
Has the mountain overlooking the airport of Deir ez-Zor been retaken by the SAA ? Have heard reports ISIS still holds it , meaning supplies can not be brought into the city. This does sound like a bit of propaganda , although you can get lucky .
if true, russia just hit high value target…
Well, these are all assumptions, but in this case what makes the difference are the value of the target and the political meaning, not the sheer numbers.
If true, it’s justice for the 62 who died for a “mistake.”
All of you are speculating. Even if it happened the degenerates in the West would never admit the loss. From my perspective it would be good for the arrogants goons to take a loss.
They would not want to admit they were there plotting against Assad in the first place.
Keep the unconfirmed propaganda dissemination to a minimum please. This is too unlikely to be believable.
agree. Too much dirty poems, mirrors and statues.
If true, a good beginning. Leave Syria to the Syrians and everyone else get out! That goes the same for all other countries!
WHY DOES RUSSIA USE CRUISE MISSILES IN SYRIA?
I learnt something new today! Evidently Kalibr missiles are used to target NATO assets. The deconfliction rules agreed with the US mean that Russian airplanes cannot strike any target where they even suspect Americans are present. If they did, the U.S. would be forced to start shooting down Russian planes. The same applies to U.S. planes, they are not allowed to target Russians or Syrians, not even by mistake.
The deconfliction rules do not prevent Russia from striking US assets with cruise missiles that are launched fro outside Syria. Shooting down Russian planes “in revenge” would be an escalation and forbidden. It would serve no purpose of self-defense, as the Russian planes are not threatening the Americans.
One can naturally ask why do Americans not use cruise missiles to hit Russians and Syrians? They already did on August 31, 2013, but were stopped at the last moment by the Russian Navy. Today Russia has even firmer control over the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The Persian Gulf is also excluded as a launch site, as U.S. ships attacking Syria would be targeted by Iranian land-based anti-ship missiles.
***
At first I thought the story and the reference to Sputnik was a hoax, but here is the story in Arabic: (I cannot find this anywhere in English)
صواريخ “كاليبر” استهدفت قيادات عسكرية أجنبية في ديرة عزة بمحافظة حلب
“According to the source field of the province of Aleppo, that the three rockets from Caliber kind launched by the Russian ships that recently targeted operations room for terrorists in Dera Izzat west of Aleppo in the Mount Simon, which is famous for the harsh nature of the mountainous and contains ancient caves area.
The source for “Sputnik”, the operations room with 30 leading officers of the Turkish and the US and Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the British army and the Mossad, running terrorist operations in Aleppo and Idlib.” (via Google translate)
Some godd guesses, but also a lot of something else.
Its a Nato operation in Syria, so why should both hangarships go close to Basra or what.
Brits has a base at Cypres and all west of that is Nato. Then You have outside Israel as well. This is no russians syrian territory if it comes to firing some tomahaws or worse.
You also forget US and Nato has a relativly heavy build up in Iraq and at Incirlik.
They were not stopped by russian navy at all and also could reduce the russian airforce back to Mig 23`s any time. There are other reasons.
What? Even the US military boards talk about Russia having deployed weapons systems the US would very much like to see confirmed as in play. The Russians are far from being out gunned.
U.S. should not be in Syria at all. It is violating Syria’s sovereignty and helping terrorists and invaders.
Here is where it all began… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9064cbeffa87e5c68c6c8dc709b94aa7c5a91c9869565a3f56d2fd24719d6907.jpg
Especially you
truthis that there is a minister in Israel saying just that in a movie clip. More so the add that they even own Hollywood and the media, if you wonder why you helige thing that you do….
That image you have used shows up ariel very well for what he was….a ventriloquists dummy.
If US targets Russia in Syria the next step will be to target US in US, Turkey in Turkey and Israel in Israel. In that Russia will not be alone, China will have joined by that time. RATO will have its swan song even before its terrorist offspring will have.
Firs of all it was not a cruise missile. It was a ballistic missile launched from NATO base in Spain. Go to WT website and check it.
>One can naturally ask why do Americans not use cruise missiles to hit Russians and Syrians?
Stopped by the Russian Navy, land based anti ship missiles, and S-300 SAM batteries. The US militaries outdated cruise missiles are simply incapable of striking targets in Syria.
US cruise missiles are not outdated and they can strike anywhere they choose.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/04/06/us-launches-cruise-missile-strike-syria-after-chemical-weapons-attack/100142330/
Russia was striking military training camps for rebels, when they got the message that those places are used by “cia”, asking Russia not to bomb any further. Sunde US was not ligitimised to partisipate in the war, they had no business there, so Russia gave them an other set of raid.
Al Masdar and Fars News are serious publications.
Al Masdar are a yank propaganda tool and based in the US.
Good if true. But Russia must keep it up – there is a long way to go and ISIS/militant numbers and their supporters in Syria must be reduced.
30 jews died today. The world is slightly a better place.
The Jews and their Mi6-dogs are at it again. They exterminated Irish, Germans, Japanese, Iraqis, Iranians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Libyans, Russians, Spanish, Italians, Koreans, and so on. The Zionist forces and all Mi6-terrorist must be brought to swift justice in order to save all our tribes in all our lands. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/40b0543bef0e2a6aea7129d96d4f2d60cb539997af403f7ba8f0da168cfbec0d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/661bf60b3826bc76333aec0a578dc47bb7755146754d914fb452a5a33db33fc1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7ba7e4642444824e2d2567b76eaee11acc386d79089b5c5b464b8a548c8718da.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cf1daa8340a4452bdb3bd69a4e975d0799532c1be325c54ce333b5d792972079.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/823f214a99ff1f40e5bbbd15de85dac7c10d693d56fc1d1c5b6b58d217bfaf68.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6009ddfb2e3215d5dd1ea377bf331495e7bea411d8c93c942f23ed4f66b55408.jpg
Bork-Bork
Has this been confirmed yet?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha your readership are a bunch of idiots.
Not readership – just one reader : Tom Johnson, the offspring of Bill-Chelsea incest.
Can someone please confirm the reports, i want to celebrate and have a party.
havnt seen too. I dont believe in it, but I believe in facts.So far – none.
Putler is laughing in the face of all the civilized world!
what civilized world? A civilized world wouldn’t have come to the middle east and destroyed it.
President Putin and FM Lavrov have tried repeatedly to enlist Obama and Kerrry in the war against ISIS. Obama and Kerry refuse and sabotage every effort to defeat radical Islam. Why? Because Obama and Kerry want radical Islam to conquer Syria. It is time for Russia to take off the gloves and declare that ALL foreign forces in Syria without the permission of the Damascus government are legitimate targets and will be attacked. If America wants to escalate the war Russia can always destroy Riyadh and Ankara.
1) As long as You – rapport be rapport – cant even see US/Nata has reduced ISIS during 4 years – its very well documented at these and many other sites – its pure shit You are comming with. ¨ 2) They have figting ISIS by kurds. They are much more sekular than Assads. So much for being blind to the knees even its also true,there are some support to radikals.
And NO. Can only see Assad during many years has done very dirty things to thise, which also should be an equal prat of Syria and has done it as a despotic tribe leader – not a president of Syria.
Russia to take the hat off ??? Ha-ha. Better with sunglasses and Hijab.
And remember bombing Damaskus and Ankara wiill make other places to stoneage too.
If Your beloved Assads had resigned in stead of getting the leadership as a tribeleader, there would be a very big diffrence and those extremist wasnt there – at least only few of them. When You attack incl. gas and artillery strikes at Your own peple the ones, who are not afraid to die, will be in the fronline – Thats the extremist. You grow them and Turks too.
One of the reasons the world is in such a bad state is idiots like you.
liar.
John and Trid, two dummies with low IQ’s.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/08/10/nearly-45000-isis-linked-fighters-killed-in-past-2-years-us-military-official-says.html
HA HA HA HA…. for real? Fox?
I’m sure you prefer an Islamic slant with Al Jazeera.
That would serve Riyadh and Ankara right!
The US is already bombing ISIS, wake up dummy.
Then how come ISIS was almost ready to take over Damascus last year until the Russians intervened? If America is so dead set against terrorists, why is it aiding Al Nusra Front Al Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate?
Just because the US is bimbing ISIS does not mean ISIS cannot make progress. Are you really that stupid?
There are literally dozens of anti government forces in Syria and not all of them have ties to ISIS. The US was supporting moderate groups, not ISIS.
There are no moderate rebels in Syria. They are all Islamic terrorists backed by the evil Obama regime. The only true moderate in Syria is President Bashir al Assad who never attacked America, tolerates Christians and was elected in a free and fair election with 80% of the vote.
The terrorists can call themselves ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra Front, Free Syria Army or any name they choose this week, they are all proxy armies for the Muslim terrorist who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
If Obama’s military interferes with Russia in the purging of Islamic terrorists from Syria, then Obama’s soldiers deserve to be wiped out to the last man and Obama’s capitol deserves to be vaporized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r29k_T_o9To
That shows just how little you know.
I have no doubt you don’t even know or understand how the war in Syria started. I’m sure you have absolutely zero knowledge of the history either.
You don’t know the difference between the Free Syrian Army and the Free Idlib Army.
In other words, you are an ignorant simpleton.
I know Syria never attacked America and any effort by Obama to overthrow the Syrian government is a war crime.
It’s not a war crime to supply weapons to any group.
Not only do you not understand the war in Syria but you don’t understand internatiinal law either.
Hillary Clinton supplied Sarin Gas — a nerve gas — to the Syrian rebels according to journalist Seymour Hersh. That is a war crime and Hillary Clinton should be tried and hanged. http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/04/28/seymour-hersh-hillary-approved-sending-libya-sarin-syrian-rebels.html
Yet there is zero proof.
WTF?
Hillary Clinton did not supply chemical weapons, that is complete BS
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh claims Hillary Clinton supplied Sarin Gas to Syrian rebels” http://www.globalresearch.ca/did-presidential-candidate-hillary-clinton-approve-sending-sarin-gas-to-syrian-rebels/5577775
Where is your Pulitzer Prize?
this comment aught to be the most stupid, ignorant, naiv way to try to rationalise ones war mongering support of contry doing all wrong. No you’re right. It’s not a war crime. It’s unbelievebly stupid and morally wrong to interfear in an other contrys internal affairs.
Cite the international law that states it’s a war crime. Evidently you are ignorant to the fact that Iran, Russia, Qatar, UAE and Saudia Arabia are all supporting proxy wars.
You are a dictionary of misinformation.
The only war crime is Assad using chemical weapons and intentionally targeting civilians.
Learn what a war crime is.
According to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, Hillary Clinton approved sending Sarin gas — Nerve Gas — from Libya to the Syrian Rebels. Hillary Clinton is a war criminal who should be tried and hanged. http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/04/28/seymour-hersh-hillary-approved-sending-libya-sarin-syrian-rebels.html Moreover, launching an unprovoked war of aggression, even through a proxy army of terrorists, is a war crime meriting a Nuremberg style trial and Nuremberg style punishments. http://www.larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2002/eirv29n40-20021018/eirv29n40-20021018_032-launching_aggressive_war_is_a_nu.pdf
According to Seymour Hersh he doesn’t even know if Hillary knew anything about any sarin gas.
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/05/seymour-hersh-says-doesnt-know-whether-hillary-clinton-knew-sarin.html
Providing weapons is not a war crime and neither is a proxy war. Your article addresses preemptive or preventative war and it is not at all relevant to the Syrian war.
In addition, many legal scholars believe that preventative/preemptive war can be legal under Article 51 when supported by the Caroline incident, Sofaer’s four elements, and Walzer’s 3 elements.
Furthermore, the actions by the US in Syria does not even qualify as a war of aggression.
Not one thing you have said is remotely correct.
Regarding Seymour Hersh: he has repeatedly been accused of providing stories with zero sources to support his claims.
A quote about Hersh:
“Bryan G. Whitman said, “This reporter has a solid and well-earned reputation for making dramatic assertions based on thinly sourced, unverifiable anonymous sources.”
Kill the Messenger.
Hersh questioned his own claims:
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/05/seymour-hersh-says-doesnt-know-whether-hillary-clinton-knew-sarin.html
His sources are not reliable in many cases.
Hersh’s narratives are more trustworthy than Obama’s narratives.
Neither one has any credibility.
Then why follow Obama, Hillary and Kerry into World War 3 over Syria?
That’s an overreaction.
Hillary promised to both go to war and go nuclear, before the last election.
BS
Cite your source.
Btw, a state of war does not even exist between the US and Syria.
No international laws have been violated, zero.
The only laws violated have been violated by the Assad regime.
If no state of war exists between the US and Syria, then the US has no business interfering in Syria’s internal affairs.
That is not for you to decide.
You are trying to make a complex problem into a simple one.
“America Does Not Go Abroad In Search of Monsters to Destroy.” John Quincy Adams. http://izquotes.com/quotes-pictures/quote-america-does-not-go-abroad-in-search-of-monsters-to-destroy-she-is-the-well-wisher-to-freedom-and-john-quincy-adams-280759.jpg It is a simple problem. A very simple Problem. And John Quincy Adams solved it almost 200 years ago.

Edmund Burke
In trying to save the Syrian people Obama has managed to kill almost 500,000 Syrians.
That is a complete and total fabrication.
The 500,000 dead are the result of rebel and Assad forces fighting.
You have graduated from being erroneous to being a liar.
Dead people are dead people whether they are combatants of civilians.
This comment is a non sequitur,
Rebels funded with weapons and money by US to bring down Assad.
Rebels are funded by several sources.
Under UN law the US is following R2P law making US action in Syria legal.
R2P is just an excuse to justify any intervention anywhere.
Since American police forces have a propensity to use excess violence against American civilians, maybe Russia has an R2P the people of America by invading the US and taking over state and local police forces.
R2P is a legitimate reason to stop the use of chemical weapons against civilians.
The use of chemical weapons is a war crime.
Like when the US dropped napalm on civilians in Vietnam? Or like when America dropped depleted Uranium shells on Southern Iraq? Or when America gives Saudi Arabia cluster bombs to drop on civilians in Yemen?
Why don’t you name one war in the history of all wars where civilians were not killed?
The accidental killing of civilians in war is not a war crime. In addition, why aren’t you speaking out against Muslims who intentionally target civilians?
Depleted uranium is not dropped, it is used as a material in cannon shells. In addition, it is not banned by any arms treaty and it is legal to use. The use of depleted uranium in munitions is not a war crime.
The cluster munitions used in Yemen were provided by the U.K., get your facts straight. In addition, cluster munitions are not a banned weapon.
You sure do know how to cite fake facts.
All war that is not defensive is criminal.
Why haven’t I blamed Islam for targeting civilians? I almost continually attack Muslims for their propensity to violence.
America and Europe should stay out of the Middle East and also stop importing potential Muslim terrorists. (All Muslims are potential terrorists.)
Depleted Uranium contaminates soil and water for hundreds of years. Iraqi children yet to be born will suffer diseases because of depleted Uranium.

All war is not illegal especially defensive war as definite under Art 51.
Depleted uranium risk factors are essentially unknown. There is no evidence that it causes birth defects. There is some evidence that it can cause transient kidney and lung problems. The WHO recommends more research.
Saudi Arabia used U.K. cluster munitions.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/19/saudi-arabia-admits-use-uk-made-cluster-bombs-yemen
Cluster munitions are regionally banned by some countries but they are not illegal under the Geneva conventions or Additional Protocol I.
White phosphorus is not banned either.
The EPA’s comment on depleted uranium:
“The first major use of DU in the battlefield was during the Persian Gulf War in 1991. During the war, approximately 20 U.S. soldiers were hit with DU fragments that became permanently embedded in their bodies. To date, studies have shown that these soldiers have not experienced health problems related to DU. In addition, their children, who were born after the war, have not shown any DU-related health problems, such as birth or developmental defects. There continues to be veterans with imbedded DU fragments under their skin, but health surveillance by the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center shows no medically significant health effects.”
According to the US government powdered depleted uranium makes a good condiment to sprinkle in your salad. Bon Apetit!
According to the US government depleted uranium is one of the most dense materials in the world, you are the other most dense.
The sale of cluster munitions to Saudi Arabia blocked:

Doc, you know I replied to your post, thanked you for the “better note ” links and wrote some more. I don’t think you had a chance to read it before I deleted it. It was a good political talk in a wrong “love” place, where it wasn’t welcomed at all, and I felt like I had to leave. I don’t know when I will have time to rewrite it, I’ll be busy this weekend and the whole month. In case of lack of time Happy September Birthday to you! Stay in good health and be blessed. Hope we still have peace and common sense around and among.
Svetlana, I’m sorry about not responding to you sooner. Thank you for the Birthday greeting. My birthday is the autumn equinox. My nephew Ben (Pavel) hurt his foot practicing Tae Kwan Do. The boot cast comes off in about 6 weeks. Just in time for the start of basketball season. Here’s a little treat for you. Watch the middle dancer. She’s full of spunk and really quite a character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYV33Q_Kca4
Reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine. A very very very funny film. One of my favorites. Meanwhile take a looks at this. http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/isis-commander-arrested-by-libyan-authorities-exposed-as-israeli-
It’s ok Doc, there’ve never been a time pressure or pressure to respond at all. Do it when you can and if you want. I remember from the last year’s Birthday greetings from one September child to another, that your Day is the autumn equinox, you told me. So it’s still coming and still makes it very appropriate to say one more time: “Happy Birthday!” I wasn’t sure if I could find time to squeeze into Disqus through my very tight schedule. But somehow I’m doing it. Wow, I’m amazed by myself lol Thank you for the video, I’ve seen it before. Very cute, didn’t hurt to watch it again. Yes, this little girl is quite a character, full of spunk and truly has a spark that she passes to the audience, causing it to make all the cheering noises. To Ben I wish a full speedy recovery and even stronger foot to come out of the cast :) Very seldom the children, especially boys when doing Tae Kwan Do, grow without it, he’ll be fine. Best wishes to Xander too and the whole family.
USA is violating all laws by attacking a soverign contry. But thats what US does best around the world. War is money.
Wrong, the US was acting under UN R2P rules and it was totally legal.

By the same elite who have screwed up America’s foreign policy for 50 years.
Actually he is considered a conspiracy theory nutcase by his own peers, news agencies, journalists and correspondents.
The main stream media mouthpieces who faithfully parrot the CIA line hate Seymour Hersh because he dares to tell the truth.
Really, they hate him, did they tell you that?
I did not see any of his critics say they hated him, I would be interested in you providing a link citing that position of hate.
Actually a great deal of his commentary is considered conspiracy theory and his reputation for exaggeration and embellishment is well established.
Your commentary appears to contain a good amount of embellishment as well.
BTW, how do you know he tells the truth and how can you confirm it?
You can’t
It was later reported that the chemicals were used by rebells to gather an opposition to legitimise an international attack on Syria.
Rob, wake up! Turn your head away from media serving a common agenda as western bankers.
Michael, stop drinking paint thinner and subscribing to fake news and conspiracy theory.
There is no money to be made in Syria.

Obama team a complete fiasco and world embarrassment
Well, he is a president. Are You…An what are You elected to.

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. -Winston Churchill
You could give a hint. Think most people realize many things are more complicated and all roads go to rome. Even railways.

Not true.
Get the genocidal secret services out of Syria including Israeli agents. According to news sources and government propagandists no Jews were left in Aleppo. So these secret service red flag event causing secret agents are only armed mainly with the insane foreign policy of Israel, and the United states and NATO. They are up to no good and calling for the total destruction of Syria a form of perverse insanity by their leaders who say they want to help the moderate terrorists overthrow Assafd. . WTF are you all insane ? There is no such thing as a moderate terrorist and what your doing is supporting the cause of ISIS in the region by alleging you are fighting ISIS and Assad at the same time . Your freaking crazy Nazi like sadists, with that mentality locked up, validated only in the back rooms of those profiting on misery and warfare. America has become an oppressor nation a predator only interested in blowing nations up not walking away from all these terrible plans, and insane strategies to destroy entire nations. Than charge your victims to rebuild them.No good sane general on earth wound ever take credit for Americas failed Mideast foreign policy or the lies, the persistent red flag events by Western intelligence agencies, that started all these terrible wars where their leaders and propagandized mainstream news refuses to question their mad men leading them to implode much like Germany, and Rome before them . Stop the insanity . . . .
If I’m in command of US group, I’d destroyed all Russian warships nearby as well as all Russian planes and ground forces in Syria.
