Crusaders leave Erdogan alone: Germany,UK,Italy Refuses Assistance for Airstrikes against Syria

Germany will not take part in any military action against Syria, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday.
“We are not considering a military strike (on Syria),” Merkel said through her spokesman Steffen Seibert.

Germany had avoided saying this week whether or not it would support possible US airstrikes. The silence ended when Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told a newspaper, the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung, that military involvement was not on the table, the Voice of Russia reported.

US President Barack Obama claimed on Wednesday that the Syrian government would face “international consequences” for last week’s deadly chemical attack, but made clear any military response would be limited to avoid dragging the United States into another war in the Middle-East.

Hundreds of people were killed and scores of others were injured in a chemical attack in the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar on August 21.

The foreign-backed opposition has blamed the Syrian government for the deadly attack.

The Syrian government, however, has vehemently denied the accusations, saying the chemical attack was carried out by the militants themselves as a false-flag operation.
