When Will We Attack Syria?   

The Antiwar.com - 20 June, 2012
Author: Rep. Ron Paul

This Plans, rumors, and war propaganda for attacking Syria and deposing Assad have been around for many months.

This past week, however, it was reported that the Pentagon indeed has finalized plans to do just that. In my opinion, all the evidence to justify this attack is bogus. It is no more credible than the pretext given for the 2003 invasion of Iraq or the 2011 attack on Libya.
