'No plans' for Western military action on Syria, Iran
(AFP) – 6 hours ago
LONDON — Western nations have no immediate plans for military action to stop the repression of protests in Syria or to halt Iran's nuclear programme, Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Sunday.

Asked if there was a possibility of a no-fly zone in Syria like the one imposed over Libya last year, Hague said there was "no serious prospect" of a UN resolution on the subject.

"We haven't been looking at a no-fly zone," Hague told Sky News, saying it would be only effective in tandem with other measures, and that the Syrian regime had not been relying on air power to repress protests.

"There is no serious prospect certainly at the moment of the United Nations Security Council agreeing any resulution at the moment, let alone agreeing a resolution comparable to anything that happened in Libya."

1. He's lying.

Of course there is planning. That doesn't mean it will happen though.

"No fly zone," these days, is an Orwellian term that actually means wholesale bombing of a country's state, media, and infrastructure.

2. Yep, 6000 dead people don't mean much.

3. Hey, "We think it's worth it." nt

5. Oh, Alan Dershowitz called this the "arithmetic of death."

Something I actually agree with him on... It's facile to point to a number as a sort of "a ha!" type of thing.

7. I will remember you saying that.

4. Two points

he is lying, plans are underway... I mean we plan for all kind of crap.

Oh and here you go...

6. The no-fly zone won't happen.

Although there appear to be some who are gung-ho for it.

If they were secret, they would not be published.

8. Oh there are things going that are secret

[tabatha]

9. Yes, that is why they have not been published.

I hope cooler heads prevail. It is one hell of a spider web.
