Redlined Carney: White House can't rule out chemical weapons use in Syria
Free Beacon ^ | 1/17/13 | Adam Kredo

The White House on Thursday again evaded direct questions about whether chemical weapons have been deployed in Syria.

White House press secretary Jay Carney would not deny definitively that chemical weapons were used in the city of Homs, despite claims made in a recent classified State Department cable that such weapons had been used.

Carney referred to the information in the cable as “anecdotal” and said that the State Department could not independently corroborate the information in the cable, which originated from a third-party source on the ground in Syria.

This administration will excuse Islamists for everything, murder, use of chemical weapons, mass slaying of the innocent. Beheadings, the killing of women that have been raped, anything.

When some of our leaders die, may they rot in hell. No one in particular, just a lot of them in general.

Anyone connected with this evil Obama regime, or sycophants of same should rot in hell.

Let’s be specific. These foul, evil, America-hating enemies should be dragged out of their tax-paid offices, limousines, then tarred, feathered and tossed into the Potomac River!

Enough of these weasels who wallow around with homosexual issues (and, perhaps with homosexuals themselves) lying and cheating their way into an eternal hell. They are beyond contempt and will drive this nation into civil war. At the end of this conflict there will be a complete emasculation of those who have driven this nation into utter chaos.

If I recall, you can tell from satellite data if chemical weapons have been used. They leave a chemical signature that can be detected via light. Also, there tend to be lots of bodies and the bodies are in the wind pattern; dead giveaway there. In addition, I’m sure there are ground and air sensors deployed and they’d be going nuts. So, we will know definitively if they’ve been used or not. I’m guessing the dissembling from the White Hut means they have been used.

We can't rule out chemical use in Syria... but there is none in the White House!

Way... to go, Jay--

“I’m guessing the dissembling from the White Hut means they have been used.”

I am more inclined to think that ‘we cannot say they were not used, therefor they may have been’ will be the government’s pretext for further involvement in yet another empty sand war.

When will someone shout from the rooftops ‘THIS IS WHERE THE IRAQI WMDs WERE MOVED!!!’. Oh wait, I forgot how many brain dead elected officials govern in the good old USSA.

A large trail of dead bodies would be a good clue especially if a nerve agent like Sarin was used. Even if you are wearing a gas mask, if you don't have protective clothing it will do no good. One drop of Sarin on the skin is lethal.

“When some of our leaders die, may they rot in hell.”

That’s the problem. We don’t need leaders, we need servants.
