Will United States Attack Syria over Biological Weapons ? US President Barack Obama might be facing flaks in his own country over Syria War, but he has got indirect support from Arab League, which has held Syria Government responsible for the Biological Attack leading to over 1000 deaths last month.
While Arab League may or may not support US in the war, yet the very fact which United States was claiming has been reaffirmed with the statement made by the Foreign Ministers of Arab Countries.
The final resolution of an Arab League (AL) meeting in Cairo urged the United Nations and the international community to assume their responsibilities in line with the UN charter and the international law by “taking deterrent and necessary measures against the Syrian regime.”
The Arab foreign ministers held the Syrian government responsible for all the alleged chemical attacks in the Syrian capital of Damascus, and demanded the perpetrators be brought to fair international trials.
Damasucs, however, has vehemently rejected the claim and accused “terrorists” of using chemical weapons on innocent civilians to obtain support from Western countries and to cover their defeats.
Saudi Arabia called on the world community to take all necessary steps to deter Syrian government violence.
“The time has come to call on the world community to bear its responsibility and take the deterrent measure that puts a halt to the tragedy,” Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal told the AL meeting.
It is time for the international community to do everything it could do to prevent aggression against the Syrian people,” he said.
“We stand by the will of the Syrian people, as they know best their interests, so whatever they accept, we accept, and whatever they refuse, we refuse,” Faisal said at a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Nabil Fahmy before the meeting.
In response to threats of military intervention from the West and the United States in particular, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Sunday that his country is capable of confronting any external aggression.
The U.S. administration released an intelligence report concluding that Assad’s government used chemical weapons in the Aug. 21 bloodshed, which Damascus immediately denied and accused Washington of seeking to frame Syria to justify a military action.
Meanwhile, US President Obama has sent a letter to the heads of the House and Senate on Saturday night, to support  military action against Syrian Government.
The proposed legislation from Obama asks Congress to approve the use of military force “to deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade the potential for future uses of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.”
