Here I was waiting to see if US would do anything to secure the WMDs, but of course not under Obama.
Instead Russia fills the void.

Now on to the black market where Russia can sell them to the highest bidder.

...and I don’t imagine jughead is going to want to drop bombs on Russian troops. That could make things quite messy.

It’s Russia’s ally.......we have no say in Syria
To: Sirius Lee
Politics never likes a vacuum—If we will not step up—others will. But, is this a good thing? Is it a good thing that Putin’s Russia has this sort of power? What will they try next? What if the rebels we back start killing Russians? Might they send troops? This could get real ugly, real fast. Still, this move might have saved a bunch of people’s lives.

Didn’t they also move the WMDs out of Iraq to the Bekaa Valley and Syria, back in early ‘03, before we invaded in March?

Check those boxes for markings like "Saddam's Sarin. Hands off!"
Or is that what the Russians don't want us to see.

At least Russian leadership has the balls to make the call.

“Its Russias ally.......we have no say in Syria.”
Exactly. Russians may have their faults, but they are not nuts. I’d much rather Russia take control of Syria’s WMD than, say, China.

Obama didn't want them secured. That was his intended causus balli to intervene and move the Caliphate. Everyone knew that he was going to fake Assad's use of them as a reason for US and NATO intervention. Smart move by Russia and Syria. I am no fan of Assad but I like the muslim brotherhood even less.

Why don’t I feel any better about where those weapons will end up? Oh, that’s right, it’s the Russians and their propensity for selling everything on the black market.
Now I remember . . .

Why would Obama do that after he has gone to so much trouble to transfer some of them from Libya to the rebel Islamists fighting Assad?

Based on their track record, you might as well make up your own story.

Obama’s not going to clean up his own mess. His ego won’t let him even acknowlege he made it.

Probably not.
Russia knows that they might end up being used in Moscow instead of anywhere else.
