1. and thus a lesson about America
Sam Donman   (05.30.12)
America wont do anything to help unless it benefits them, no oil in Syria unlike Libya. America never came to help during WWII despite knowing millions of Jews were being exterminated., they only entered the war when Japan attacked them. America talked peace when Saddam was building Osirak reactor, but after Israel did the hard work, was able to invade & take over Iraq easily. America is 10,000 miles from Iran, Israel is next door. America is more worried about their economy, Israel their survival. Israel - do what has to be done....before its too late.....Attack NOW !
2. France Babble !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (05.30.12)
I Quote - France not ruling out military action in Syria President Hollande says will try to convince Russia to back UN sanctions against Syria, says military action possible but only if backed by Security Council resolution. US however remains opposed to military operation Comment - Only emty words that is. Arn.Sweden.
3. @2 - France is reliable
Erin Silverbergy   (05.30.12)
no France is reliable compared to USA who are masters of lip service. France intervened in Ivory Coast last year even though there is no oil ! USA wont act unless there is huge monetary or physical rewards.
4. re: #1 You are free to get yourself into a pickle......
Cali Cal ,   Los Angeles, CA   (05.30.12)
just don't expect us to save your behinds when Iran starts raining missiles on Israel. We have enough to worry about over here to have to spend money on Israeli escapades.
5. @4
Sam Donman   (05.30.12)
no we dont need your help, just stay out of the away and dont delay the Israeli action with time wasting "peace talks". And if oil goes up to to$20/gallon you can always revert to horses & donkeys.
6. To #4 and all the US Utopians !
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (05.30.12)
You think you are safe ! ? i s t his a JOKE Sir. REMEMBER 9/11 and " TAKE A COLD SHOWER " A US Patriot that LOVE " Eretz Israel " Never Again.
7. ...Thus spoke Hollande and his Zionist face unmasked
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.30.12)
Hollande lost next election from today. We understood one thing, in USA, UK and France goverments may change from Right to Left, seemingly 180 degree but policies does not. So that indicates there is an oligarchic power elite who rules behind scenes, despite government changes power is maintained in the same hands. and this power elite is zionist. Hollande lost the next election from now, showing his real face, he is no different than Sarkozy.
8. @4 But neither should America complain that it was...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.30.12)
sucked into the war and had to "save Israel's behind" by default.
9. @8 - Don't worry about US support
(05.30.12)
Don't worry about US support. The USA will be dragged in to protect their precious oil reserves, which is far more important to them than any Israeli lives !
10. Since the world doesn't act against Syrian, why should we,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.30.12)
Jews, believe, the world will act against Iran when the chips are down...?? Haven't we learned a thing or two from our own history, that is being repeated...??!!
11. #4 It could have been cheaper if
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.30.12)
USA acted on time during WWII so now USA do not have to be worried so much about Israel. Please thank president Roosevelt for his inaction.
12. #4 cali cal Speak For You Stoned Self
(05.30.12)
You just keep smoking your humbolt kind and Leave The Real Work TO MEN. So Don't worry your high dog self. The Clear thinking Americans including JEWISH AMERICANS Will Do The Greatest Good For The GREATEST NUMBER!
13. Does
Darius   (05.30.12)
someone understand the French?They want to pull out of Afghanistan the sooner the better without regard to their partners in the Nato but the're raring to dive head first into the next military adventure in Syria?
14. #1 no one will, and #7
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.30.12)
No one will do something unless it benefits them. Despite 3 years of being a total failure, Obama may have finally realized that actively destroying Assad will likely lead to Russian intervention in many conflicts. Imagine what would would happen if Russia jams American drones in Afghanistan or Iraq, or supplies Saudi freedom fighters with car bombs like Obama used in Damascus? Obama is supplying the Sunni with weapons to keep the civil war going, hoping that will be enough. #7: isn't it funny that the French supported Assad and his brutal rule as long as he endangered Israel, but when he threatens Saudi Arabia and Turkey they suddenly want to kill him?
15. French hot air
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.30.12)
If anybody thinks that the French government can solve anything in the region,they'd better remember the last time a French government tried to seize the initiative...the ill-fated UNSC Resolution 1701,2006 that was supposed to put an end to Hizbollah aggression. Instead it allowed Hizbollah to become a massively armed terrorist threat and led to the present mess in Lebanon.French arrogance always exceeds French power. Still,it will be very interesting to see France and Turkey colliding head on as their governments vie for neo-imperialist dominance in the region. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
16. Nr 3. Dear Sir -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (05.30.12)
If France in advace must have Security Coumcil resolution, before taking Military action, France could promise and hint at whatever, but it will not come to pass. That is what I call France Babble. By this I dont say I support an Military action against Syria from the West, let the Shia and Sunnis fight this to the end. Arn.Sweden.
17. to 14#
Tayfun_Turkey   (05.31.12)
it is not only Israili-Syrian confrontation. But new policy. France also supported Syria for long during Syrian collaboration with PKK who found shelter in Syria for more than 25 years. Main issue here is to break Syria-Iran alliance by handingover a Sunni islamic revolution in Syria, If Sunni muslims took over Syria they will detach from Shii Iran thus paving way for military attack at iran. Otherwise as long as Syria keep alliance with Iran waging war would be very costly aspecially Israeli attack will have a lang connection through syria from Iran. Thus they have to first isolete iran lanlocked to give best military opportunity to Israel to bomb Iran!
