Chomsky: U.S. is a ‘rogue state’ that ‘doesn’t pay attention to international law’

“‘We should bear in mind that the core principle of the United Nations Charter bars the threat or use of force. So all of this is criminal, to begin with, but he’ll continue with that.’ ‘The United States is a rogue state,’ he averred. ‘It doesn’t pay any attention to international law.’ Furthermore, he said, ‘(t)his would be a perfect opportunity to ban chemical weapons, to impose the chemical weapons convention on the Middle East.’ The U.S., of course, Chomsky noted, will never go along with that because of one nation in the Middle East ‘which has chemical weapons and is in violation of the chemical weapons convention and has refused even to ratify it — namely Israel.'”
Paul Craig Roberts: Why Are Obama and Kerry Desperate to Start a New War?
“Isn’t it a threat to international security when a superpower can, acting on a whim, demonize a leader and a country and unleash mass destruction, as the US has done seven times in the past twelve years? There are millions of innocent but demonized victims of the ‘indispensable, exceptional USA,’ the ‘light unto the world.’ Forget about the US media, which is nothing but a propaganda ministry for the Israel Lobby. What the members of Congress and what the American people need to ask obama is why does the White House only represent the Israel Lobby? No one supports an attack on Syria but the Israel Lobby.”
Obama, the US Liar-in-Chief

“If these leaders in Washington cannot even tell the American people about what the real military contingency plans are for Syria, why should we believe them on all their other claims about chemical weapons used in that country. It’s a con trick, and the American people know it. Moreover, Liar-in-Chief Barack Obama and his partners-in-crime know that the people know it. It really is saying something of the collapsing legitimacy of the US presidency when foreign leaders such as Vladimir Putin or even Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad – the latter vilified as a despotic tyrant – project more moral authority and credibility to the American people than their own leaders do. The American people are right.”

Spare us the hypocrisy over chemical weapons, America.

“Napalm is ‘a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid’. I don’t know about you, but ‘a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid’ sounds awfully ‘chemical’ to me, and yet this weapon has been liberally used by the US army to incinerate soldiers (and luckless civilians) in many recent wars, including Gulf War 1. So maybe the ‘global red line against chemical weapons’ has a strange footnote which exempts chemical weapons that are devised in America? That makes sense, because the greatest anomaly, when it comes to Kerry’s global red line, is Agent Orange.”
10 Chemical Weapons Attacks Washington Doesn’t Want You to Talk About

“Washington doesn’t merely lack the legal authority for a military intervention in Syria. It lacks the moral authority. We’re talking about a government with a history of using chemical weapons against innocent people far more prolific and deadly than the mere accusations Assad faces from a trigger-happy Western military-industrial complex, bent on stifling further investigation before striking. Here is a list of 10 chemical weapons attacks carried out by the U.S. government or its allies against civilians.”
Syrian Decision Shaping Up As Unipolar vs. Multipolar
“The key political issue that is shaping up here is whether or not the world is a unipolar world politically and militarily, with the superpower U.S. being that pole. The alternative view, which is gaining strength, is that the world is a multipolar world, with many voices. The anti-bombing voices among the American public are rising, and so are voices overseas with a number of different views. The administration and some Congressmen are focused on the ‘message’ that failing to bomb conveys; they are focused on credibility. But what they are missing is that no matter how this event turns out, all the other voices have been entering the conversation.”

‘Obama to attack Syria regardless how Congress votes’
“America’s envoy to the United Nations singled out Russia for criticism – for its outspoken opposition to strikes. And that’s as the UN chief himself ruled out a military solution to the Syrian crisis – warning that a strike would have tragic consequences and fuel sectarian violence in the region. Investigative journalist Charlie McGrath has commented on the US envoy’s statements – saying international trust in Washington’s words has all but eroded.”
Ralph Nader: Stopping Barry O’Bomber’s Rush to War

“Dear President Obama: Little did your school boy chums in Hawaii, watching you race up and down the basketball court, know how prescient they were when they nicknamed you ‘Barry O’Bomber.’ Little did your fellow Harvard Law Review editors, who elected you to lead that venerable journal, ever imagine that you could be a president who chronically violates the Constitution, federal statutes, international treaties and the separation of power at depths equal to or beyond the George W. Bush regime. Nor would many of the voters who elected you in 2008 have conceived that your foreign policy would rely so much on brute military force at the expense of systemically waging peace.”

President Obama Calls for Conscience Vote On Syria, Even If Public Opposed

“‘It’s conceivable that, at the end of the day, I don’t persuade a majority of the American people that it’s the right thing to do,’ Obama said in response to a question from ABC News during a solo press conference at the conclusion of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. But, Obama said, members of Congress need to consider the lessons of World War II and their own consciences and vote ‘yes’ to authorize the use of force, even if it means going against the opinion of the majority of their constituents. ‘Each member of Congress is going to have to decide if [they] think it’s the right thing to do for America’s national security and the world’s national security,’ Obama said.”
