COMMENTS:
The ante seems to be going up every day. I disagree with
those who say if we don’t act now Assad will use the chemical weapons again as
he pleases. All we have to do is make it clear that the next time, we will
obliterate Damascus and then do it immediately if he does. But, Obama doesn’t have the testicles to say
that or to follow up if he has to.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Obama claims the world set the “red line” when it voted
overwhelmingly against the use of chemical weapons, so we can’t blame him and
say he set the “red line.” Is that
true? (Bud ~ Jackpot, NV)
A. Yes, members of the U.N. voted to ban the use of chemical
weapons. However, there is nothing in
that treaty which describes or authorizes retaliatory action by any nation
against any nation in the event someone violates it. Furthermore, Syria did not sign on to that
treaty. All legal scholars are arriving
at the opinion, as did I, that a strike against Syria would be illegal and in
violation of International Law. And, by the way, he owns that "red line."
Q. News came out [yesterday] that thousands of North Korean
prisoners may be been killed. What is
that all about? (Mary ~ Lake Elsinore,
CA)
A. There were about 30,000 prisoners in the camp when it was
closed; there was a severe food shortage going on. After accounting for the ones who were
transferred, there are several thousand still unaccounted for. North Korea is not answering questions made by
the international community.
Q. If the Suez Canal gets blocked, oil prices will soar. I
heard Syrian rebels have been trying to sink cargo ships passing through the
canal. If that is true, why do we want to help them? (Gary ~ Kingman, AZ)
A. A terrorist group calling itself “The Furqan Brigades”
has tried to sink a cargo ship named “COSCO.”
Any connection to the rebels is not known.
