Syria: US Intervention Will 'Inflame' Region
Sky News HD August 25,

Syria has warned the
US against taking military action against the regime, saying it would "create
a ball of fire that will inflame the Middle East".
The warning came as Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama said they were "gravely concerned" about signs that an alleged chemical weapons attack took place in Syria.
The two leaders spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper by telephone last night as calls increased for UN investigators - who are already in the country - to be allowed access to the site of the alleged attack.
The US President and his top advisers are continuing to explore options for responding to the attack, with the White House saying there is "very little doubt" the regime has used chemical weapons against its citizens.
But in remarks released by Syria's official SANA news agency, Syrian Information Minister Omran Zoabi said that any US-led military action would be "no picnic".
"US military intervention will create a very serious fallout and a ball of fire that will inflame the Middle East," Mr Zoabi said.
