Chris Hedges on Obama Decision to Attack Syria and “Give Congress a Voice”


The Real News Network has a conversation between Chris Hedges and Paul Jay headlined Chris Hedges on Obama Decision to Attack Syria and “Give Congress a Voice”.


One thing to note is the mention of the story in my recent post EXCLUSIVE: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack. Paul Jay acknowledges the credentials of the reporter who reported this story.

The one part that this interview did not acknowledge was the issue of building a pipeline in Syria to give access to the European market to Saudi Arabia in competition with Russia. Arms sales may be a big part, but oil may be bigger. See my previous post Syria intervention plan fueled by oil interests, not chemical weapon concern.

Seems like my scouring the web for news is a day ahead of The Real News Network, perhaps the oil issue will be coming soon to The Real News Network.
