Quoting: ftownballa The French are preparing to intervene in Syria The Point.fr - Published 04/12/2012 at 17:01 - Updated 04/12/2012 at 19:59 According to our information, everything is ready for the Special Forces conducting targeted operations to seize stocks of chemicals. Discreetly, the French are preparing to intervene militarily in Syria . According to our information, only special forces are involved at this stage. The prevailing pattern consist of a relatively small French intervention integrated with a multinational coalition. This organization prepares the model which was set up during the war against Libya Gaddafi. So it count at least U.S. , the UK and France, among other NATO members, including Turkey probably that would be associated Jordan and perhaps other Arab countries. There is no question of a ground invasion or massive air and / or sustainable, but rather a series of raids firmly supported by planes and helicopters, for putting the hand on the stock of chemical weapons . Haunting Western leaders About the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs are explicit. According to its deputy spokesman Vincent Floreani, "any use of these chemical weapons Assad would be unacceptable." He added: "The leaders of Damascus should know that the international community is watching and will not remain without reaction if he were to use his weapons." This is what was said on Monday U.S. President Barack Obama, saying: "The use of chemical weapons and would be totally unacceptable." These comments illustrate millimiters conditions that would trigger military intervention in case the regime would use its arsenal toxic. This reaction takes the form of strikes on targets "L" (for leadership) by cruise missiles, concomitant with a takeover of chemical stockpiles before their security and transfer. Because the obsession of Western leaders is not only on the use of poisonous weapons by the regime. They do not want more than opponents, including jihadists can get their hands on and use. Where the little phrase spokesman, who should not be taken lightly, when he speaks the international will "prevent the use of these weapons if the temptation is just to plan is to others." Note that the Quai d'Orsay does not speak here of use, but of "temptation." That changes a lot. Preventive intervention looms In reality, it is a preventive intervention looming. Is it realistic to imagine that the great capitals leave Assad act using such weapons, as they are convinced that the bully is going to do? Of course not ... In this case released today to the thickness, the special forces of the countries forming a coalition "ad hoc", that is to say, not subject to NATO would launch raids from Jordan and Turkey to seize weapons where they are, before any "temptation" to use has been a beginning of realization. About the Public Washington indicate that U.S. officials were informed by their intelligence capabilities - or those of their allies - the implementation of preparatory measures for the use of these weapons. Soon followed by Paris, which is not late in this case, Americans have somehow started a final warning to Assad. They have their finger on the trigger. Preparing a preventive operation is not a mystery, to name a few, the French special forces have been set up discreetly in Jordan for this purpose. Both involve themselves in such an intervention, to help their counterparts in Jordan. We did an echo in here last September . Political conditions As political conditions of an intervention, they are at the discretion of François Hollande, leader of armies. At the conference of ambassadors on August 27, he had made it clear that France would respond militarily if the regime of Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons: "I say this with the solemnity appropriate: we are very careful with our allies to prevent the use of chemical weapons by the regime, the international community would be a legitimate cause of direct intervention. " The Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius drove the nail a few days later . Since the end of the summer, things have changed and the formation of a coalition led by Representative Moaz Ahmad al-Khatib will trigger a response to its request. Bashar al-Assad has warned.
