French General: NATO Attack On Syria “Feasible”
Former French General Jean Rannou has outlined the technicalities of a NATO attack on Syria as a bid to topple Bashar al-Assad’s regime moves closer despite the ongoing failure of NATO’s campaign in Libya to defeat Muammar Gaddafi.
Speaking with the EU Observer, Rannou warned that any attack would worsen the country’s internal situation, something that doesn’t appear to have been of much concern to NATO in Libya, but that Syria would be left largely defenseless if western powers launched an attack.
“I don’t see any purely military problems. Syria has no defence against Western systems … [But] it would be more risky than Libya. It would be a heavy military operation,” said Rannou, former chief of the French air force.
