| 2013-08-29 | |
[Al Ahram] The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on Wednesday condemned alleged poison gas attacks in Syria, blaming the government and calling for "decisive action" in response.
The OIC called on the UN "Security Council to discharge its duty of preserving international security and stability, taking a unified position against this monstrous crime and its perpetrators. "This attack is a blatant affront to all religious and moral values and a deliberate disregard of international laws and norms, which requires a decisive action," it said in a statement. OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said he "remains convinced of the need to urgently work out a political solution to extricate Syria from this bloody crisis and to restore peace and security in the country." | |

| #3 Of those I'd only care about the Jordanians opinion. Their ear is 2nd only to The Wally and have a keen sense of what it takes to live with a bunch of rough and rowdy neighbors. If they ask for help go, but I bet they won't ask in this instance. |

| #1 The best idea I've heard about Syria is this: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan have large well equipped armed forces. If they want Assad out they have the power to do it without involving anyone from the west. Oh, they're afraid of Iran and Russia? Too bad, so sad.........I'll make the pop-corn. |
