DAMASCUS, (ST)_ Syria ‘s permanent representative to the UN Dr. Bashar Jaafari said that U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron ” Raised themselves to the top of the tree and do not know how to get down ,” in reference to their involvement regarding the military intervention in Syria.
In a Telephone Intervention with the Syrian TV yesterday, Jaafari explained that “Obama is subject to enormous pressure from the extreme right , neo – Zionists and Israel, Turkey and some Arabs ,” adding that Obama did the best when he emulated what Cameron had done in terms of assigning the decision of the aggression on Syria to the Congress.”
Jaafari indicated that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry used the term ” evidence of high credibility ” when he accused the Syrian government of using chemical , recalling that the same expression was used by ” Colin Powell at the Security Council in 2003 to justify the invasion of Iraq when he said that he had” high credible signs ” , and therefore the one who made a mistake against Iraq repeats the same mistake and uses the same terminology .”
Jaafari made it clear that the US , France and Britain opposed the Syrian request to the UN to determine the identity of the side which used chemical weapons in Khan al-Asal incident , hinting that ” they delayed dispatching investigators to Syria for more than five months because they know who did that.”
Jaafari cautioned the need to differentiate between the ” use of a chemical weapon of mass destruction, and the use of chemicals that can be put together and combined by armed groups and gangs ,” pointing out that the investigators mission should give the impression whether the used chemical used is a locally manufactured rudimentary material or a weapon of mass destruction because this will be conducive to a completely different result . “
Jaafari also recalled to mind the subway incident in Tokyo when a Japanese extremist group used few grams of sarin gas that led to the deaths of hundreds , while the Turkish authorities announced a time before the arrest of 12 people from the “al-Nusra Front ” having two liters of sarin gas they brought with them from Libya on a civilian plane , a matter which can kill hundreds of thousands of human beings.
