PARIS (AP) — Western powers are preparing a tough response if
Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime deploys chemical or biological weapons in its civil war, key European officials warned Monday.
Syria's
leadership has said the country, which is believed to have nerve agents
as well as mustard gas and Scud missiles capable of delivering them,
could use chemical or biological weapons if it were attacked from
outside."Our response ... would be massive and blistering," if
Assad's forces used such weapons, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius
told RMC radio.Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague told
the House of Commons he had asked U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to
begin preparations so the U.N. could quickly deploy experts to make
checks if "we have any reports of such chemical weapons being used or
moved."Hague said the U.S.,
France
and Britain had been clear to Assad that the use of chemical weapons
could prompt a dramatic change in their handling of Syria's civil war.
President Barack Obama has called the issue a "red line" for the U.S."We have not ruled out any options as this crisis deepens," Hague told lawmakers.Britain's
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the U.K. had no plans to
intervene militarily in Syria, but that the use of chemical weapons
would lead him to "revisit" that approach.Fabius confirmed that
Western countries were monitoring the movement of the weapons in Syria
to be ready to "step in" immediately if necessary. "We are discussing
this notably with our American and English partners," he said.
The French minister said
Russia and
China
were "of the same position," but did not elaborate. China and Russia
have repeatedly used their veto powers in the U.N. Security Council to
block U.S.- and Arab-backed action that could have led to sanctions
against Assad's regime."The Russian position on this is only
likely to change when the situation on the ground changes further, to a
substantial degree," said Hague, reflecting talks he and Cameron held
with Russian President Vladmir Putin during the London Olympics last
month.Since March 2011,
activists estimate that more than 20,000 people have been killed in
Syria, where a popular uprising against the
Assad regime evolved over the months into a full-blown civil war.Since
the start of the Syrian conflict, Beijing has been consistent in its
stance that it should be settled through negotiations and not by outside
forces.Moscow is Syria's chief ally, and Russian Deputy Foreign
Minister Gennady Gatilov told The Associated Press in a recent interview
that Russia has the Syrian government's assurances that chemical
weapons will not be used. Gatilov said Russia will "work toward the goal
of preventing such things from happening."The foreign ministries of both China and Russia declined immediate comment on Monday.Syria's opposition has urged outside military help against Assad's armed forces."I
am going to be very clear. We are requesting military intervention in
order to protect Syrian civilians who have been constantly murdered over
the last year and a half," the head of the
Syrian National Council, Abdelbaset Sieda, said in Madrid on Monday.
Spain's
Foreign Affairs Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo, who met with
Sieda, said his country would continue to press for a united EU approach
to Syria and urged Syrian opposition groups to overcome their divisions
and join together against the Assad regime.The new U.N. envoy to
Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, acknowledged Monday that brokering an end to
the civil war is a "very, very difficult task."In London, Hague urged the West and its allies to accelerate planning for a post-Assad regime."Assad's
departure from power is now inevitable. His regime is doomed, and the
international community must plan rapid support to a new government in
Syria now," said Hague.___Stringer reported from London. Harold Heckle in Madrid and Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed to this report.
Lebanon's Hezbollah denies possessing chemical weapons
AFP – 14 hrs ago SEPT 4,12
The
leader of the powerful Lebanese Shiite Muslim movement Hezbollah,
Hassan Nasrallah, on Monday denied that his group possessed chemical
weapons."We don't have chemical weapons and we cannot use them for reasons
linked to the Sharia and for humanitarian reasons," Nasrallah said in an
interview with Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen channel, which champions
Hezbollah's cause.At the end of July, a number of Israeli officials warned against a
possible transfer of Syrian chemical weapons to Hezbollah, an ally of
Damascus.The Syrian regime, gripped by an unprecedented revolt for 18 months,
admitted in July for the first time that it possessed chemical weapons
and threatened to use them in the event of foreign military
intervention.Nasrallah, who rarely grants interviews, said that in the case of "enemy attacks" against Lebanon, Hezbollah would not be content to "defend itself" but would "enter Galilee".In February 2011, the armed movement threatened to invade this region of northern Israel in the event of an Israeli attack.Following Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers on the
border, the Israeli army launched an offensive into Lebanon in July and
August 2006 to punish a movement that managed to fire 4,000 rockets into
northern Israel.While ruling out a future Israeli war against Iran,
the sponsor of Hezbollah, Nasrallah said he had information from
Iranian leaders that "the retaliation from Tehran will be great" in the
event of an Israeli attack."Iran will not be conciliatory in the case of a strike against its
nuclear facilities," he said, indicating that the Islamic Republic could
even retaliate by targeting "American bases in the region".
WARN THE PEOPLE
EZEKIEL 33:1-6
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

China warns U.S. not to take sides in sea disputes
By Andrew Quinn and Chris Buckley | Reuters – 1 hr 21 mins ago SEPT 4,12
JAKARTA/BEIJING (Reuters) -
China warned the
United States not to get involved in
South China Sea territorial disputes on Tuesday as U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headed to
Beijing pledging to pass on a strong message on the need to calm regional tension.The last time
Clinton
visited the Chinese capital, plans to highlight improving U.S.-China
ties were derailed by a blind Chinese dissident whose dramatic flight to
the U.S. embassy exposed the deeply uneasy relationship.The irritants this
time are disputes over tiny islets and craggy outcrops in oil- and
gas-rich areas of the South and
East China Seas that have set China against U.S. regional allies such as the Philippines and Taiwan.As Clinton travelled back to Beijing on Tuesday, U.S.
officials say the message is once again one of cooperation and
partnership - and an important chance to compare notes during a year of
political transition.But the unease remains, sharpened by disputes in the
South and East China Seas that have rattled nerves across the region and
led to testy exchanges with Washington just as the Obama administration
"pivots" to the Asia-Pacific region following years of military
engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei suggested
at a daily news briefing that Washington was not a helpful force in the
maritime disputes."We have noted that the United States has stated many
times that it does not take sides," he said when asked about the U.S.
role. "We hope that the United States will abide by its promises and do
more that is beneficial to regional peace and stability, and not the
opposite."Chinese newspapers, including Communist Party
mouthpiece the People's Daily, have suggested the South China Sea
territorial claims are among Beijing's "core national interests" - a
term suggesting they share the same importance as sovereignty over Tibet
and Xinjiang.Hong did not directly answer a question about whether that was the government's official position."China, like any other country in the world, has the
duty to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.
"WITHOUT COERCION"
In Jakarta on Monday, Clinton urged China and its
Southeast Asian neighbors to move quickly on a code of conduct for the
South China Sea and stressed that disputes should be resolved "without
coercion, without intimidation, without threats and certainly without
the use of force".But progress has been thwarted in recent months by
China's increasingly assertive posture, which has included establishing a
garrison on a disputed island and stepping up patrols of contested
waters.That suggests Beijing has no intention of backing down
on its unilateral claim to sovereignty over a huge stretch of ocean and
potentially equally large energy reserves.
Clinton faces a balancing act, pushing on the
territorial disputes while keeping cooperation on track on other issues
including reining in the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs, the
Syria crisis and economic disputes that have long bedeviled the two
countries."One of the challenges before us is to demonstrate how
we deal with areas in which we have different perceptions and where we
face challenging issues on the ground, or in this case on the water,"
one senior U.S. official said.But some Chinese media have been blunt in their
opposition to Clinton. The Global Times, a popular, nationalist tabloid,
accused her of "deeply intensifying mutual suspicion"."Many Chinese people dislike Hillary Clinton," it said
in an editorial. "She has brought new and extremely profound mutual
distrust between the mainstream societies of the two countries, and
removing that will not be easy."
WHAT NEXT?
Clinton on Wednesday will meet outgoing President Hu
Jintao and Vice President Xi Jinping, the man who will likely succeed
him as paramount leader following a Communist Party congress this year.Xi visited the United States in February on a
get-acquainted tour and U.S. officials expect him to be a steady-handed
leader.But concerns over China's fast-expanding influence and
its belligerent tone in the regional disputes have Washington scrambling
to assess how Beijing's political stars are lining up.China, too, has its concerns and has pushed back against U.S. attempts to referee the
South China Sea dispute and insert itself into similar rows between China, Japan and South Korea over islands in the East China Sea.While Washington has stressed that it takes no position
on the competing claims and simply wants to see a mechanism established
to resolve them, its forceful calls on China to play along have had a
cool reception in Beijing.
Mark Valencia, a Hawaii-based expert on Asia-Pacific
maritime disputes, said the recent exchanges left "no doubt that the
U.S. is siding with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) --
not necessarily saying that their claim is correct, but that the bases
of their claims have more merit than those of China".During Clinton's
last China visit in April, dissident Chen Guangcheng stole the headlines
with his made-for-TV escape from house arrest, flight to the U.S.
embassy and eventual decision to take a U.S.-brokered deal to travel to
New York.U.S. officials are
hoping for no such surprises during Clinton's 24-hour visit to Beijing
this week, saying this is a moment for stability, not stirring the
waters."I think the secretary intends very clearly to
underscore our continuing interest in maintaining a strong, positive
relationship," the senior U.S. official said.(Additional

Syria's Assad holds talks with Red Cross chief
By BASSEM MROUE | Associated Press – 37 mins ago SEPT 4,12
BEIRUT (AP) —
Syrian President Bashar Assad told the head of
the International Committee of the Red Cross in talks in
Damascus
on Tuesday that the group is welcome to operate on the ground in the
country as long as it remains "neutral and independent," state media
reported.ICRC spokewoman Rabab al-Rafai did not give further details about Assad's meeting with
Peter Maurer, but said the Red Cross chief later met with
Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad and was also holding talks with the head of the
Syrian Arab Red Crescent, Abdul-Rahman Attar."
President Assad confirmed
Syria
welcomes the humanitarian operations that the organization is
conducting on the ground in Syria as long as it works in a neutral and
independent way," the state-run SANA news agency quoted Assad as saying.Maurer's
three-day visit, which began Monday, comes as the need for humanitarian
assistance in Syria has grown increasingly urgent with the fighting
having spread to the country's two largest cities — the capital Damascus
and the commercial hub of
Aleppo.
Activists say August was the bloodiest month since the uprising
against Assad began in March 2011, with about 5,000 people killed.The escalating bloodshed has prompted a growing exodus by Syrians looking to escape the conflict.The
U.N.'s refugee agency, UNHCR, said Tuesday that 100,000 refugees fled
Syria to neighboring countries in August, the highest monthly toll since
the crisis began. In Geneva, agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said
the rise in people seeking asylum in neighboring countries brings the
total of Syrian refugees registered or awaiting registration with the
UNHCR to 234,368 as of September 2.
The Red Cross said earlier
that during his trip Maurer would address the "rapidly deteriorating
humanitarian situation" and the difficulties which the ICRC and the
Syrian Arab Red Crescent face in reaching people affected by the
country's civil war."At a time when more and more civilians are
being exposed to extreme violence, it is of the utmost importance that
we and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent succeed in significantly scaling up
our humanitarian response," Maurer said in comments made before his
arrival in Syria. "An adequate humanitarian response is required to keep
pace with needs, which have been growing exponentially."Maurer
added that during his visit, he also intended to follow up on points
agreed to in April, such as expanded access to persons detained in Syria
and "the imperative necessity of helping civilians affected by
hostilities."Syria's uprising began with largely peaceful
protests against Assad's regime, but has since morphed into a civil war
in the face of a brutal government crackdown. Activists say at least
23,000 people have been killed so far.The
civil war witnessed a turning point in July when rebels carried out an
audacious bombing in Damascus that killed four high-ranking security
officials, including the defense minister and Assad's brother-in-law.
Since then, the regime has succeeded in largely quelling a rebel
offensive in the capital, but has struggled to contain an opposition
push into the northern city of Aleppo, the country's commercial hub.On
Tuesday, Abdul-Qadir Saleh, the commander of the Tawhid Brigade that is
spearheading the Aleppo offensive, said rebels now control most of the
city, Syria's largest."The
regime only controls 30 percent of Aleppo," Saleh told reporters in
Istanbul. He added that regime forces are now attacking civilian areas
in an attempt to "turn civilians against the rebels."Saleh's claim could not be independently verified, and the government says its troops are advancing in the city.Also
Tuesday, activists reported scattered violence across the country,
including in Aleppo and Idlib in the north, Daraa in the south as well
as the Damascus suburbs.___Associated Press writer John Heilprin in Geneva contributed to this report.

UN says 100,000 refugees fled Syria in August
By JOHN HEILPRIN | Associated Press – 56 mins ago SEPT 4,12
GENEVA
(AP) — Some 100,000 refugees fled Syria during August making it by far
the highest monthly total since hostilities began, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday.The
tide in people fleeing the civil war, a figure that includes both
refugees who are registered and those awaiting registration with the
Geneva-based U.N. refugee agency, underscores the intensifying violence
between the regime of Syria's president, Bashar Assad, and the armed
anti-government groups.The August total represents more than 40
percent of the 234,368 Syrian refugees who, as of the last count on
September 2, had fled for surrounding countries since the uprising began
17 months ago."If you do the math, it's quite an astonishing number," U.N. refugee agency spokesman Melissa Fleming
told reporters Tuesday at the U.N.'s European headquarters in Geneva.
"And it points to a significant escalation in refugee movement and
people seeking asylum, and probably points to a very precarious and
violent situation inside the country."The refugee agency and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent
are continuing to expand their operations to support displaced Syrians
and appealing to all nations to take in Syrians who need asylum. There
are now more than 80,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey,
where the borders remain open, and there is a backlog of some 8,000
Syrians waiting to be processed at the border, Fleming said. Jordan has more than 77,000 Syrian refugees; Lebanon has more than 59,000; and Iraq nearly 18,700, according to the agency.The
U.N.'s World Food Program spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told reporters
that her agency is scaling up operations to provide food urgently needed
by 1.5 million people this month, mainly in areas where there has been
fighting and people made at least temporarily homeless.
Activists
say some 5,000 people were killed in August, the highest toll in the
17-month-old uprising and more than three times the monthly average. The
U.N. children's agency says 1,600 were killed last week alone, also the
highest figure for the entire revolt.The
two major activist groups, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, have raised their
total death toll to between 23,000 and 26,000.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
EZEKIEL 39:1-8
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
JOEL 2:3,20,30-31
3 A fire(NUCLEAR BOMB) devoureth before them;(RUSSIA-ARABS-MUSLIMS) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,ARAB,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Russia says will retaliate if Britain has blacklisted officials
By Gleb Bryanski | Reuters – 19 hrs ago SEPT 4,12
MOSCOW (Reuters) -
Russia said on Monday it would retaliate if
Britain confirmed a media report that it could ban dozens of
Russian officials from entering the country for their alleged roles in the 2009 prison death of lawyer
Sergei Magnitsky.Russia's
Foreign Ministry
said it had asked Britain whether it had blacklisted 60 people
including judges, intelligence officers and prosecutors, as a newspaper
reported. The ministry did not say what a Russian diplomatic response
could entail.Magnitsky, a 37-year-old lawyer for an equity fund,
died about a year after he was jailed on charges of tax evasion and
fraud.Former colleagues say the charges were fabricated by
police investigators he had accused of stealing $230 million from the
Russian state through fraudulent tax returns.The Kremlin's own human rights council has said Magnitsky was probably beaten to death.Britain's Sunday Times reported that Home Secretary
Theresa May had sent a list of 60 Russians to the British embassy in
Moscow and that they could be banned from entering Britain.
"We have ... asked the official British authorities for
confirmation or denial of this information," Russian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement."We will determine
our reaction depending on the answer," he said. "Obviously, if London
has introduced some sanctions against
Russian citizens, the Russian side will react, as is accepted in diplomatic practice."A diplomatic
dispute over the Magnitsky case would further strain relations between
Britain and Russia. The countries have been at odds over security,
diplomatic and
human rights
issues for years, particularly since the 2006 murder in London of
Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who died from
poisoning with radioactive polonium-210.In December 2010, Britain expelled a diplomat from the
Russian embassy in London. It said this was in response to "clear
evidence" of activities by the Russian intelligence services against
British interests.Russia responded days later by expelling a diplomat from the British embassy in Moscow.
The Magnitsky case
has also strained ties between Russia and the United States. A U.S.
Senate panel in June approved a bill, sharply criticised by Moscow, that
would require the United States to deny visas and freeze the assets of
Russians linked to Magnitsky's death, along with other human rights
abusers in Russia or anywhere in the world.Russian President
Vladimir Putin called Magnitsky's death a tragedy, but said Moscow would
retaliate against the bill.The British embassy could not immediately be reached
for comment on Monday. Britain's policy is not to comment on individual
cases involving visa applications or denials.
Russian news agency Interfax quoted a British embassy
representative as saying visa applicants are usually denied entry if
they are found to have violated human rights.(Editing by Steve Gutterman and Pravin Char)
