many people are criticizing Brock Obama saying that his rationale or the the
psychological reason he wants to now attack Syria
is because he feels the need to backup statements he's made in the past in
regard to setting a red line against the music
use of chemical weapons there but now he went on the news recently and said that
that's not actually what he said all along
let's watch for small I didn't set a red life
the world said a red light the world set a red line when
governments represent ninety-eight percent of the world's population said
a the use of chemical weapons are abort
and passed a treaty for bidding or use
even one countries are engaged in war congress
set a red line when it ratified that treaty
a and so what I said
in a press conference that my calculus about what's happening in Syria
would be altered by the use of chemical weapons
which the overwhelming a
consensus of humanity says is wrong a
of that one saying I just got a made-up
and pluck it out at Finnair there's a reason for
you see President Barack Obama speaking there on the first I believe three days
it or Sweden and Russia
now just four I guess historical context we do have them speaking in August 2012
let's hear what he had to say about the red line
we have been very clear
to the Assad regime but also to other players
on the ground bad a red line for us
is we start saying a whole bunch chemical weapons moving around
for being utilized that would change my calculus
that would change my question that was 2012 we also have earlier this year may
2013
with respect to what I've said in the past around
a red lines what I've said is that
the use of chemical weapons I
are something that the civilized world has recognized
I should be outta bounds well that that last night lease does seem like an
evolution in the segment
what he was saying so as always with President Obama
you get the sense that 1 i think is right it was a lotta work play there
are but you know it seem like you said it was a home I'm
in the second clip it certainly seemed like you said it was a red line but at
the same time he did counsel in terms of
there you know historical standards in the community international community
and for us what exactly does for us means
and what is changing the calculus me I mean we we spend a great deal a time in
this country both on the good shows like this one on the horrible shows
it like he like a you know we got it you said something you know you doing
something else
some fucking what like I doesn't matter like is it obvious what happened is
obvious leather unfair in a sense to John McCain like it's fun to make fun of
right but it's clear you want more than this resolution offers
it's not complicated any struggling with that and they've crossed some red line
that whatever the hell that means
and like they've used chemical weapons and now Obama's like
out flock now or wait till because it's broken heart
like this is real and it's the cool way about you what what would have been the
past the line in the sand yeah I didn't know that we read
right that funny its racial at math yeah so I will be able to read is one thing I
thought from this is a from the BBC report about
the about the full are you so wasteful white phosphorus and pollution
as worth reading says it Department fence no to confirm the BBC white
phosphorus have been used as an incendiary anti-personnel weapon
evolution but here's the quote that's really telling from the Department for
we have any forces a in cover positions they are high explosive Altschuler
artillery rounds
are not having an impact on you wish to get the now those positions one
technique is to fire white phosphorus round into the position
because the combined effects have the fire and smoke and in some cases
the terror brought about by the explosion on the ground will drive our
holes
so you can kill them with high explosives yet yeah I guess I don't know
if they were to do that
you can do that also by firing mustard gas into the hole to get them out there
you shouldn't do that either because it's been internet-only so you're
telling me that where invading them because they use chemical weapons yet we
use chemical weapons
sobel why I'm you know I we should not
in that concept you know of course we all agree that we should you there's
many ways we use the influenza in that context for the most part white
phosphorus is used as the same thing you some sort of smoke grenade or or
moreover I'm not in this case
apparently not I'm against that case we should not do that with this but with
you guys because they insist that the
ball these people all these Hawks won or lost these missiles because I've
but they apparently does a okay with our own use ovum
you that's why does it does well the smell test again just just to be very
specific
were not and talking about striking Syria because you use white phosphorus
against a couple of
people in a building we will 2,000 people with sarin gas
so it's not just gamble technically chemical we clearly it's a line between
a couple of people who could be horribly burned by way faster than a thousand
people who died three youths and S
it's the same thing is like we get our weapons of mass destruction
that was given sarin gas new King City they're both weapons of mass destruction
big difference between the two
I just like to use the word terror here yeah
I don't do anything because they're so imploded their apologists would say
that's not necessarily weaponize white phosphorus it's not gonna kill them a
it is not like sarin gas it just scares the hell out amid terrorize them
and he kinda burns them a little bit so and so that when he get up
we kill them with cluster bombs but I've kept myself could Christian look I
