A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria
Max Hastings is a mainstream military historian, and no friend of the left.

He's just called out Cameron in the right-wing Daily Mail, in a piece which includes the following:

Quote: it is naïve to suppose that sarin gas is any worse for its victims than napalm, cluster bombs, Agent Orange defoliant or white phosphorous, widely used by the Western powers in their wars since 1945. All warfare is barbaric and all wars inflict dreadful casualties on civilians. Though President Assad has killed large numbers of non-combatants, so have American drone strikes in Pakistan and the Middle East and so have Syria's insurgents fighting against the regime.


Pretty astonishing truth-telling for MSM.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
"Proverbs for Paranoids 4: You hide, They seek."
"They are in Love. Fuck the War."
