Oren: Chemical Weapons in Wrong Hands Would be 'Game Changer'(Israeli Amb.)
INN ^ | 12/9/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren warned Sunday that any evidence of chemical weapons being passed from the Assad regime to terrorist groups like Hizbullah would be a “red line for Israel” and could constitute military action.

While Oren could not confirm recent claims that the Syrian regime is mixing and moving components for the deadly sarin nerve gas, he said that Israel is watching the situation "very carefully."

"Were those weapons to pass into the wrong hands -- Huzbullah's hands, for example -- that would be a game-changer for us," Oren told "Fox News Sunday."

He needs to talk to the 0barky administration and the U.S. MSM. They talk as if they were standing right there watching the components being mixed. If you need confirmation Susan Rice will go on as many talk shows as you want her to and she will tell you with the best deadpan seriousness you've ever seen that it's a fact.

So who does Israel whack?

The Syrian government troops and Assad?

The MB "rebel" Caliphate builders executing the false flag WMD attack?

The WMD smugglers from Benghazi?

The WMD smugglers from Iraq?

The Turks?

The money men?

All of 'em?

Don’t think so!

Israel just took care of the Iranian rocket problem in Gaza. First they took out the rocket plant in the Sudan. Then Hama's top general. Followed by all the Iranian rockets they could locate that had been smuggled through Egypt thanks to the Hood. So for Israel, Syria is.... Next !

Wonder if that US flotilla in the Eastern Med has orders to not shoot down any missiles headed toward Israel ?

Israel did surgically clean out a nuclear research facility in Syria, and I mean surgically, almost no collateral.

I don't know that they can do that with these types of munitions, logistically.

And I'm not sure Russia would allow 'em to be sloppy. As now, Israel has pretty good relations with Russia, to their mutual benefit. Also Russia and Iran back Assad.

Israel might be wise to sit this one out unless a WMD is actually headed their way. If the US lets one get through it will say all we need to know about Obama and the Rats.

Israel shouldn't let herself be tricked into starting WWIII.

No matter what he says Obama he is a Muslim and he has set about from the beginning to put the Brotherhood and Al Qaeda into the seats of power in the Middle East. “By their fruits you shall know them”. The fruits of this man are instability in the Middle East and Israel under threat - ultimately he may be responsible for many many deaths in the area.
