‘I didn't join the Navy
to fight for al Qaeda in a Syrian civil war': Picture of serviceman goes
viral...
but is it real?
- Photo of sailor, who bears the insignia of a Chief
Petty Officer, was posted online on August 31
- Hundreds of protesters take to the streets in a stand
against military action as Obama attempts to persuade Congress to launch
strike on Syria
As the U.S. teeters on
the brink of launching a military strike on Syria, a provocative photo of a
Navy officer appeared online, capturing the mood of deep concern among many
Americans over the Obama administration's plans.
The picture of an
unidentified man, believed to be a Navy officer, has swept the web after he
appeared in full regalia while covering his face with a sign which read: 'I
didn't join the Navy to fight for al Qaeda in a Syrian civil war!'
It has not been verified
whether the man is an actual U.S. Navy officer - although his uniform does bear
the insignia of a ranking serviceman.
Fighting talk: An unidentified man, believed to
be a U.S. Navy Officer, offered this message on the deepening crisis in Syria
as the U.S. comes closer to military intervention
The badge on the left
arm appears to be that of a Chief Petty Officer.
The image appeared on zerohedge.com, a website dedicated to 'liberating oppressed
knowledge', according to their mission statement.
The picture was posted
on the site on August 31 by a user taking the name 'Tyler Durden', a character
from the movie Fight Club.

The photo appeared with
the words: 'Presented with no comment...whether or not this is a real member of
the US armed forces is unknown but we suspect it sums up many of their
perspectives as Obama punts to Congress.'
Since the image appeared
online, it has been re-tweeted hundreds of times and shared thousands of times
on Facebook.
The picture is
indicative of a mood of discontent building in the U.S. as President Obama and
his top aides launch a full-scale political offensive to persuade a skeptical
Congress to approve a military strike against Syria.
The administration faces
an uphill struggle to win over lawmakers from both parties and a war-weary American
public.

Syrian government.
SUMMER OF DISCONTENT: AMERICA DIVIDED OVER MILITARY INTERVENTION
IN SYRIA
Protesters across the
country took to the streets this weekend for and against a possible U.S.-led
attack on Syria.
In Houston, Texas, which
has a large Syrian-American population, about 100 people lined up on opposite
sides of a street in an upscale neighborhood to express opposing views on a
possible U.S. attack.
'We want any kind of
action. The world has stood silently and it's been too long. Something needs to
be done,' said Tamer Barazi, a 23-year-old civil engineer who carried a Syrian
flag and a sign - 'Syrian Americans for peace, democracy and freedom in Syria.'
Demonstrations erupted
on both East and West coasts of the United States, and cities in between.
In DC, anti-war
demonstrators chanted and waved placards outside the White House. Across the
street, Syrians and Syrian Americans who support U.S. action waved flags from
their country and shouted for Assad's ouster.
Later, in Los Angeles,
about 200 people shouting 'Hands off Syria' protested against a possible
American strike.
They waved signs reading
'No More War' and police said they wrote up more than 40 citations after
demonstrators sat in street intersections and blocked traffic. Police reported
two arrests.
Dozens of lawmakers,
some in tennis shirts or shirtsleeves, cut short their vacations and streamed
into the corridors of the Capitol building for a Sunday afternoon intelligence
briefing on Syria with Obama's national security team.
But the credibility of
the administration's intelligence is turning out to be a less important issue
than the nature and usefulness of the response.
U.S. military officials
are using the delay to reassess which ships will be used for a strike, and
which sites in Syria to target.
One change was a
decision to send the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its entire strike group
towards the Red Sea to help support the Syria strike, if needed.
Syria's brutal
two-and-a-half-year-old conflict has claimed more than 100,000 lives, including
hundreds who - according to the U.S. - were killed in chemical weapons attacks
by the Syrian regime near Damascus on August 21.
Syrian President Bashar
Assad's government has denied involvement, instead blaming rebels for the
attacks. Neither the U.S. nor the Assad regime has presented proof in public to
back up the allegations.
In Washington, Obama was
lobbying Congress to support a military strike to punish the Assad regime for
its alleged chemical weapons use.
Obama initially seemed
poised to launch military action without asking Congress, but over the weekend
changed his mind.
A vote is expected after
Congress returns from summer recess on September 7.
Obama was to meet with
former political rival Senator John McCain at the White House on Monday, hoping
the foreign policy hawk will help sell the idea of U.S. military intervention.
On Capitol Hill, senior
administration officials briefed lawmakers in private on Sunday to explain why
the U.S. was compelled to act against Assad. Further meetings were planned from
Monday to Wednesday.
Innocents: According to U.S. estimates, of the
1,429 killed in the attack, 426 were children
Responsibility: French agents say Assad's regime
is behind the nerve gas attack in the Duma neighbourhood of Damascus on August
21
The Arab League,
meanwhile, stopped short of endorsing military action. In an emergency meeting
in Cairo on Sunday, it called on the United Nations and the international
community to take 'deterrent' measures under international law to stop the
Syrian regime's crimes, but could not agree on whether to back U.S. military
strikes.
Two of Assad's most
influential foreign backers, China and Russia, lined up against Washington's
new attempt to make the case for a military strike.
China is 'highly
concerned' about possible unilateral military action against Syria and believes
the international community must 'avoid complicating the Syrian issue and
dragging the Middle East down into further disaster,' Foreign Ministry
spokesman Hong Lei said in Beijing on Monday.
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov, meanwhile, dismissed U.S. information given to Moscow on the
alleged chemical weapons attack as 'absolutely unconvincing'.
There was 'nothing
specific' in the evidence presented by Washington, Lavrov said. 'No geographic
coordinates, no names, no proof that the tests were carried out by the
professionals.'
He did not say what
tests he was referring to.
Debate: The President meets national security
advisers to discuss possible military action
Lavrov said U.S.
officials told the Russian government they cannot share all the evidence
because some of it is classified.
On Sunday, U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. received new physical evidence in
the form of blood and hair samples that show sarin gas was used in the August
21 attack.
Kerry said the U.S. must
respond with its credibility on the line.
The Syria conflict
erupted in March 2011 as an uprising against Assad that quickly transformed
into a civil war.
The fighting has
displaced 5 million inside Syria, according to the UN. In addition, nearly 2
million Syrians have crossed into neighboring countries, previously released UN
figures show.
Before the outbreak of
the conflict, Syria had a population of about 23 million people.
