The Syria Situation Continues To Spiral Out Of Control

Despite extended and wagging fore fingers, and some don't-you-dare's from the mouths of China and Russia, US Defence Secretary, Chuck Hagel, told the BBC that American forces are prime and ready to attack Syria, if President Obama does, in fact, order a strike.



This is all in response to the Syrian government's alleged use of chemical weapons on their own people.


The Syrian government adamantly denies the accusations, but US Secretary of State, John Kerry, suggests that there's undeniable proof. He further said:



Government sources are saying that US President, Barack Obama, and the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, have been talking, and will continue to talk, and if an agreement is made to attack, it could happen as early as this week.



On the other side of things, we have China's official news agency saying:



While Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin, tweeted:



Now, if all the world is a stage, this is a very tense act. Russia and China backed the Syrian regime, saying there's no glaring evidence of the use of chemical weapons. US and Britain are stuck between this weird place of action and big talk. The UN is trying to formulate a way to respond without things getting too messy. Too late. And, the Syrian people are caught right in the middle.


Some clamour for international intervention, while others are crying for the West to stay the freak out.

And, don't for one nanosecond think that the Syrian government is going to just push over. A senior Syrian official had a different kind of warning for America. That being from Halef al-Muftah, saying that Israel will be under fire, if the United States attack Syria.



Also, the Syrian Foreign Minister said:



I just hope that those "materials" are not of the chemical nature, because that's exactly what this whole thing's about.

So, the world is still waiting on official confirmation from the inspectors at Damascus. But, their jobs have been hampered by the Syrian government; as well as sniper attacks, and reports that shells are still falling on the area where the attack took place. And, that's why inspectors are delaying inspections that were supposed to happen a few days ago.



John Kerry states that this is the Syrian government trying to systematically destroy evidence before UN inspectors enter into the area. It's all a mess!

The Pentagon has positioned four warships in the region, with missiles, ready to strike.



Britain moved airfighters within striking distance, and the world is on the edge of its seat, waiting to see who makes the next move.

Obviously, it's scary, because the common denominator here is human life.
