He said the United States and its European allies have condemned the regime of Bashar al-Assad without any evidence that it actually used chemical weapons in an assault on a Damascus suburb on Aug. 21.
China's president aims to clean up Communist Party from within while also silencing external critics. Russia condemns hysteria over Syria Will Englund AUG 26 As Assad regimes stalwart ally, Moscow says the West is ready to act before evidence is in hand.
Turkey, Britain and France all indicated on Monday that they would back the Obama administration if it decides to take action against Syria in response to the alleged attack, even without a United Nations mandate.
