Syria’s enemies won’t give up on war, Pepe Escobar says - VIDEO
Investigative journalist Pepe Escobar says Syria’s enemies will not stop pushing for a war, warning that the CIA-trained militants have already entered into the country. ● Escobar, who works with the Hong Kong-based Asia Times Online newspaper, made the remarks during an interview with Press TV on Tuesday. On Monday, the United Nations issued a report by UN investigators, which said sarin nerve agent was used in an attack that allegedly killed hundreds of people in the suburbs of Damascus last month. The UN team's mandate did not include assigning blame for the attack. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria as "a war crime" and demanded that the perpetrators of the deadly attack be brought to justice. Escobar said that the United States, France and Britain “want a Chapter 7 UN Security Council resolution which has the inbuilt possibility of launching a war against Syria in case of noncompliance, and they do not specify what kind of noncompliance would that be.”
