An Al-Qaeda-linked group has promised a 'volcano of revenge' over the chemical attack in Syria. Karen Kwiatkowski - who's a retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel says if Washington launches military action against Syria it will be fighting on the same side as terrorists.

A 'targeted strike' on Syria by the US would be nothing but an act of war, former Congressman Dennis Kucinich said, adding that an airstrike on President Assad’s anti-radical Islamist forces would mean the US Air Force was supporting Al-Qaeda.

Kucinich, a prominent anti-war politician who has consistently opposed America’s military involvement in Iraq and Libya, warned that President Barack Obama would be violating the US Constitution if he took military action against Syria without authorization from Congress.

An airstrike on Syria would also embolden multinational jihadists with links to Al-Qaeda, warned Kucinich, a four-time Congressman who was a longshot contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 and 2008.

One of the officials granted anonymity to speak to the AP said, "If there is action taken, it must be clearly defined what the objective is and why" and based on "clear facts.” Meanwhile, another official briefed on a potential strike told the Los Angeles Times that the White House may opt for an attack "just muscular enough not to get mocked," but one that wouldn’t be severe enough to warrant a response from Syrian allies Iran and Russia.

"They are looking at what is just enough to mean something, just enough to be more than symbolic," the Times quoted the source as saying.
President Obama said Wednesday evening he has not made a decision on whether to order a strike in Syria, although he said the US has concluded that the Syrian government carried out recent chemical weapons attacks near Damascus.

"We have not yet made a decision, but the international norm against the use of chemical weapons needs to be kept in place,” Obama said in an interview with PBS.[...]

AGENT ORANGE - By U.S. and MONSANTO. Millions of gallons of the toxic defoliant was sprayed by American planes on Vietnam's jungles to destroy enemy cover and has been blamed for cancers and disfiguring deformities among babies.
Between 1962 and 1971 approximately 21 million gallons of defoliant were sprayed over about a quarter of what was then South Vietnam, denuding about two million acres of the forest.

- Hanoi says that three million people were exposed to Agent Orange and one million people still suffer serious health problems even today, including 150,000 who suffered birth defects.
