WORLD leaders from G20 just concluded their summit in St peters burg, Russia, amid sharp differences over possible US military assault against Syria, in response to what the US administration calls a deadly chemical weapons attack by the Syrian Government.
The summit comes hours after a US senate panel voted to give President Barack Obama authority to use military action against Syria- the first time congress voted to allow military action since the October, 2002 votes authorizing the invasion of Iraq. The US and Russia, which is a key Syrian ally remain odd as Obama has tried to build his case for military action. The US President has vowed to continue to try to persuade his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of the need for punitive strikes against president Bashar al-Assad for using chemical weapons. As Putin opened the summit, he spoke exclusively about the global economic crisis, which forms the primary agenda of the summit, stressing the need for Co-ordinated international policy making in order to fight incessant volatility in economic markets. Putin had questioned western evidence justifying a military strike against Syria, accusing US secretary of state John kerry outright of not saying the truth when, in urging congress to approve strikes, he played down the role of Al-Qaeda in the rebel forces. DO YOU THINK US AND HER COHORTS HAVE ANY JUSTIFICATION TO INVADE SYRIA??
