Related: About this forum'Panetta has blood on his hands for supporting Syria rebels'
The U.S. military chief says the fighting in Syria's largest city of Aleppo will ultimately be 'a nail in President Assad's coffin'. Leon Panetta is currently on a Middle East tour, promising to continue to push for Assad's departure. RT spoke to Michel Chossudovsky from the Centre for Research on Globalization. He believes there are indications that NATO states may soon move from war mongering against the Syrian regime to real action.

(47 posts)1. Excuse me...
But isn't Assad a Dictator? Isn't Assad killing civilians? I may not buy all the rhetoric about Syria, and the Syrian civil war but Please, RT claims nato is war-mongering? Not quite buying this one. All the middle-eastern states are messed up, colonial made up states, and it has caused nothing but trouble.

Ghadaffi was using shilkas, literally tearing people to shreds in the streets, pilots defecting after receiving orders to bomb civilian targets (many did).
Then it was all some conspiracy to give NATO an excuse to attack.
I'm sorry, but RT has no credibility with me.
