The bad situation of the Syrian military after two and a half year make officers and some analysts believe that the missile strikes could cause a really big damage.

Some people  argued that “negating Syrian air power would have only a marginal direct effect on civilian casualties, which have mostly been caused by ground forces”, it said this “could significantly assist Syrian opposition forces by denying air support and especially air mobility and resupply to the Syrian army”.

The defector said that the government have been moving people into the vacated bases.

The people say that the goverment have to do something for the people, they have to be safe, and vulnerable to the attack- The government said that they already know some locations that can be attacked, they already had supplied the locations of what they thing are the targets

According to one US official, the initial targets were not more than 50 sites, but significantly those air bases where Syria’s Russian-made attack helicopters are deployed.

President insists the US should take military action against Assad but says he will seek the authorisation of Congress first

Barack Obama's decision to attack Syria not come out of nowhere. It results from a number of factors, from the point of view of the president of the United States, are a last attempt to avoid unilateral hegemony of the American empire on the rest of the world. The impasse in which Washington is also found in Israel, who watches helplessly growth regional deterrent force of the Resistance Axis, the central link is none other than Syria. That’s why Obama resorts to the argument of “U.S. national security" to justify aggression against Syria.

With this things what people can say is that the decision of the president Obama is crazy but when he talks about the second decission that was to seek the approval of Congress before launching any strikes, everybody felts surprised with that decision.

In some ways it is necessary for taking control from Syria.

On the other hand the president od Russia Vladimir is against Obama because the USA don´t need all that weapons because without weapons the will win.

Sergio Agüero tops Real Madrid's January transfer shopping list • Spanish giants keen to sign Manchester City striker • Agüero insists he's happy at Etihad after signing new contract

Real Madrid are considering a January bid for Sergio Agüero after theManchester City striker was identified as the Spanish club's prime target at the start of the summer, ahead of Gareth Bale, who was bought for a world record £85.3m.

Madrid made an inquiry about Agüero – who scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium – and were told he would not be sold. They had also wanted to sign Neymar, who was then at Santos, and Radamel Falcao, who began the summer at Atlético Madrid, ahead of Bale.

That means the Welshman was effectively Madrid's fourth choice. Falcao signed for Monaco on 20 May before Neymar joined Barcelona a week later, with City announcing on 24 May that Agüero had agreed a one-year extension to his contract, keeping him at the club until 2017.

Madrid retain an interest in Falcao, but Agüero remains their first choice to strengthen the striking options of Carlo Ancelotti, which comprise only Karim Benzema and 20-year-old Alvaro Morata.

While Real may firm up their interest for Agüero in the January transfer window with an offer expected to be markedly more than the £38m he cost the club two years ago, in an interview with the Guardian on Saturday Agüero reiterated his loyalty to City.

"I'm very happy at City, very happy since the day I came," he said. "I knew that the project was good and in my head there is nothing else but Manchester City, so how long I'm going to be at City is just never a question.

"I'm happy here, my family's here when they come to England, all I can do is give everything I have for the club and concentrate on achieving for the club. We are improving every year the team, the club, the club is growing, we are working in the same direction to get the club as high as possible. Some years are better than others, but it's a much better club, a much better team than it was four or five years ago, so we just have to go [continue] in the same way."

Shetland windfarm project suffers court setback over rare bird

Judge rules Viking project should not have been given planning consent as ministers failed to follow EU birds directive

The future of a proposed windfarm on Shetland touted as one of the most productive in the world has been thrown into doubt in a legal battle over a rare wading bird and an obscure part of British energy law.

A judge in Edinburgh has ruled that the Viking windfarm project, set to be one of the largest in the UK, should not have been given planning consent last year, in a victory for local anti-windfarm campaigners.

Lady Clark ruled that ministers had failed to follow an EU birds directive when they weighed up the threats posed by the project to the whimbrel, an endangered wading bird which nests almost exclusively on Shetland.

In a judicial review decision that could have serious implications for other new renewable energy projects across the UK, Clark also found against Viking Energy because the company did not yet have an electricity generating licence.

The project's collapse would be a blow to Alex Salmond's ambition forScotland to generate all of its domestic electricity needs from renewable power by 2020. That goal is already in doubt because of the great cost and logistical problems involved.

The Viking project will comprise 103 turbines across 50 square miles of Shetland's main island. With a potential capacity of 370MW and 457MW, it is expected to produce enough electricity to power at least 175,000 homes if it goes live as planned in 2018.

Because of Shetland's powerful winds and its exposed location high up in the north Atlantic, the developers predict it will have a load factor or real-time output of at least 44% of its potential energy output. On average UK windfarms have a load factor of around 28%.

Shetland is already home to what is thought to be the world's most productive wind turbine, a small 660kw machine north of Lerwick called Betsy, which produces between 52% and 59% of its potential output. Most of Shetland's electricity, however, comes from a subsidised power station that burns diesel.

Clark said schedule 9 of the Electricity Act required a developer to have legal authority to produce electricity before it got approval. Viking Energy's co-owner is the energy giant SSE, which does have that licence. Industry sources were nonplussed, insisting it was perfectly normal for a power company to apply for an electricity generating licence after it had planning approval.

Even before her written judgment was issued, the Scottish government announced it planned to appeal against the judge's decision after hearing her verbal summary in court on Wednesday. "Scottish ministers have decided to appeal against the judgment and will lodge that appeal in the days ahead," a spokesman said.

"Ministers do not agree that the application was incompetent under schedule 9 of the Electricity Act, nor do they agree that they failed to take proper account of their obligations under the EU wild birds directive in the decision-making process."

Industry sources said they believed the government's appeal would mean that Clark's decision to withdraw planning approval would not be enforced, allowing Viking Energy to press ahead and apply for an electricity generation licence during the appeal process.

Viking Energy refused to comment, however, until the judge had published her final decision in full. That is expected on Friday.

The judge's decision will embarrass Ed Davey, the energy and climate change secretary, after he announced plans in Glasgow last month topay a higher electricity price to boost the Viking project and other smaller onshore windfarms on Shetland, Orkney and the Western Isles.

The Viking project has been controversial since its inception. Local campaigners, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds have twice forced a reduction of its scale, from 150 turbines down to 103.

Sustainable Shetland, which brought the judicial review, said it was delighted with the ruling. Clark also ordered the Scottish government to pay its £60,000 legal bill for the case.

The group said Scottish ministers had been warned about the legal risks over the whimbrel and the inadequacy of the developers' proposals to protect the bird. There are about 295 breeding pairs on Shetland, 95% of the UK's resident population.

Frank Hay, the group's chairman, said: "This ruling is hugely important. We have always felt that this project was wrong for Shetland – a belief upheld by our own planning department, who advised that Shetland Islands council should recommend refusal to the consent.

"We are heartened by today's outcome, which reflects months of hard work by all concerned."
