  • U.S. Stocks Fall as Kerry Comments on Syria Situation

    From bloomberg.com

    U.S. stocks fell, following the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index’s first weekly gain since Aug. 2, after Secretary of State John Kerry said the President will hold Syria’s government accountable for the “moral obscenity” of using chemical weapons. The S&P 500 fell 0.4 percent to 1,657.58 at 3:23 p.m. in New York, erasing an earlier gain of as much as 0.4 percent. “By any standard it is inexcusable,” Kerry told reporters in Washington today, saying evidence makes it “undeniable” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime was responsible for last week’s attack that the opposition blames for more ...

Of course. I think the biggest world agresor who have the most aircraft carriers offensive weapons - should be judged in the interest of world peace and economic well-being.Not only the president but the all cabinet. Precisely because they have so many aircraft carriers to them this could not happen. Who will be after Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria? Iran, or China, or Russia?
ohno Obama going to start another war?

I think there is already a war in Syria. Not Saying the US should join in. but a civil war between 2 equal sides is far more destructive than overwhelming force on one side.
Unless the side that wins annihilates the other when they finally do win. Which is a distinct possibility at this point.
bushy f*****up the world in order to establish new world order. u stupid lot blaming Obama.
anybody know what happened to the gold
time of uncertainty people buy GOLD.
Obama is doing the right thing. Stay out of a country's civil war. US has enough to worry about themselves than meddle into affairs of every country where there is internal strife. Let middle eastern countries solve their own problems. They have Arab League. What are they doing? What is Saudis, Egypt, Libya, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Jordan doing about it ? Mind their own business.
Qatar +USA is Sponsor Of Weapons And Money To Syrian Mercenary "Rebels.
The main reason is natural gas and new pipeline in Syria. Qatar is a major exporter of natural gas from this area, if Syria launched this gas pipeline , Qatar will lose a large part of the income.Unfortunately, this is not written on CNN.
Funny how Syrian came at the perfect time to distract everyone from the September taper talk! Now the market has a new reason/blame for selling off.
