Syria Threatens Israel with Chemical Weapons, Obama Pressures Israel

I am travelling now and so have been very much out of the loop for the past several days. But I have noticed a couple of things that I think need to be pointed out. First, there is Syria. Today it was reported that the Syrian regime is threatening Israel with chemical weapons. According to Reuters' report:

Syria Says Could Use Chemical Arms Against Foreigners

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the army would not use chemical weapons to crush rebels but could use them against forces from outside the country.

"Any chemical or bacterial weapons will never be used ... during the crisis in Syria regardless of the developments," Makdissi said. "These weapons are stored and secured by Syrian military forces and under its direct supervision and will never be used unless Syria faces external aggression."

Israel of course has not threatened to attack Syria. Rather Israel has made clear that it reserves the right to use force to prevent the embattled terror sponsor Bashar Assad from transferring his chemical and biological weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Some people will call Caroline hysterical. I think she's RIGHT!

Caroline is almost always right.

As an aside...

Isaiah 17:1

"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."

The first requirement for being a prophet is that your prophecies are never wrong!

From the article:

To confront these massive threats, Israel could really use American support, even if it is only rhetorical.

Bibi knows better than to expect U.S. support! Obama is on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood. He encouraged the overthrow of Egypt and remain silent when begged for support by the anti-Mullah faction in Iran.

If a person doesn't know where Obama's sympathies lie...they haven't been paying attention.

Bibi knows better than to expect U.S. support!

Right, I'll never forget Bibi lecturing Obama!

[The Sons of Liberty]

If Syria is stupid enough to use Chemical Weapons against Israel, those that question whether or not Israel has nukes will get a definite answer.

Assad hasn’t got enough problem inside Syria, he wants to start more on the outside?

[newheart]

Many have criticized Obama by arguing that he has no policy on Syria. But actually, he does. He sees Syria in the same light that he sees Iran. In both cases, his main concern is to prevent Israel from defending itself.

[RoosterRedux]

You can bet that a big chunk of Israel is paddling like mad to remove Obama from office. They know what America does not!

Syria. Your time is up.

It's no coincidence that all the people who support Assad are the same people who were against overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq. [/snip]

Attention President Bashir al-Assad: That would be the last thing you'd ever do. The magic mushrooms would bloom over Damascus. [Also, Tehran is in the cross hairs.]
