Obama moving unavoidably towards Syria war – Pushkov

World

The US is moving gradually towards a war in Syria, said chairman of the State Duma’s International Affairs Committee Alexei Pushkov.

“Obama is moving unavoidably towards a war in Syria, the way George W. Bush was moving towards the war in Iraq,according to Voice of Russia.

A war in Syria, like the war in Iraq would be illegitimate, and Obama will become Bush’s clone,” he wrote in his Twitter blog on Sunday.

The Pentagon chief, Chuck Hagel, earlier announced readiness to implement a military scenario in Syria if President Barack Obama issues the order.
