Syria News reported on 6 September that Syria SANK guided missile destroyer USS Barry?
Editorial introduction: I was advised in an e-mail received at 6.05PM (+10) on Friday 6 September 2013 that the story below, had been posted to Syria News (http://www.syrianews.cc/). As of 9:06PM, Sunday 8 September 2013, the story is still on Syria News. However, I have not been able to find any confirmation (or, for that matter, refutation) of this story anywhere -- not in the broadcast media, not in the print media and not on the World Wide Web. (Recent reports concerning the USS Barry include USS BARRY: Take A Tour Of The US Destroyer Poised To Attack Off The Coast Of Syria in the San Francisco Chronicle of 28 August and USS Nimitz aircraft carrier group [including the USS Barry] rerouted to help US strike on Syria, if needed - report in the Russia Today of 1 September).
If the USS Barry had indeed been sunk, I would have thought it would have had the most profound implications for the conflict in Syria and the eastern Mediterranean. However, on the balance of probabilities, it appears that the USS Barry has not been sunk. So why Syria Today, which otherwise publishes apparently factual and informative reports about Syria, would have published this report is a mystery.
Syria Sinks a US Navy Ship
Breaking: Syrian Arab Army managed to drown USS Barry, the guided missile destroyer the US Navy deployed off the Syrian coast after the ship launched the first wave of missile attack.
The above is not a current news or breaking, but this what would be the second news on all international and local media after the first news of the commencement of the Obama promised aggression against the sovereign state of Syria, the founding member of the United Nations in case he goes mad enough and attacks.
Guided missile destroyer USS Barry – One of the definite targets to sink
We shouldn't be surprised when such news emerge, the Syrian leadership and its allies have determined to give the bullish and arrogant US regime of Barack Obama a lesson they'll take a very long time to forget and will never get over it.
Breaking international law will be on the responsibility of those not only aiding radical terrorists but also attacking a state that never attacked or threatened to attack the United State of America, thus making such aggression a clear aggression against all laws and against the basis of the United Nations Security Council.
The pariah leader Obama in his press conference today at St. Petersburg confirmed that he prefers to act based on a UNSC resolution, but in the absence of such resolution due to the Russian and Chinese double vetoes already used 3 times till now, he is obliged to take it on his own shoulders to carry the aggression, of course with whomever accept to join him.
The problem with civilian US strategists planning for wars and plotting against humanity is their one-sided vision of any conflict, they never estimate their foes and their capacities, but we can always remind before it's too late. The military strategists who fought wars and know what wars are, know exactly why they are trying to avoid such wars.
The regime of Barack Obama claiming to be a democracy should listen to the majority of his people and the majority of the people of the world. He climbed a very high tree and he's begging someone would help him down and instead his foes and allies are pushing him further up and leaving him up there.
We are obliged to remind the United States citizens, their military and strategists before they go crazy, the last time US came face to face with Syria they lost 241 Marines in one strike in Beirut 1983, at that time the US real cowboy president Ronald Reagan was smart enough to withdraw his forces from the region, will the fake cowboy Barack Obama be as smart? He will be lucky enough if one of his ships is drowned, he will be lucky if his troops in Afghanistan are not fried, he will be very lucky if his regime's military bases in the region are not wiped out one after another not to mention seeing his allies fall one after the other starting with Turkish fanatic Erdogan and the Zionist settlers colonies known in the west as Israel. He will be less lucky if he does go ahead with attacking the last secular state in the region.
Most serving US military leaders warn that Syria is not Libya or Serbia. Perhaps the United States has become too used to fighting third-rate armies. As the Israelis learned in 1973, the Syrians are tough and mean-spirited killers with nothing to lose.
