Sources tell CNN the United States is huddling with allies on what a chemical attack by Syria's Bashar al Assad would look like and there are reports that Assad maybe looking for asylum in Latin America.

Strange, and no WMD in Iraq? Go figure.

Where’s the proof? The same intel community that said there were WMDs in Iraq?

Why should we do anything there, no matter what is happening? These rebels are pure jihadi wahabbi moslem brotherhood. The same crew that took over Egypt and crufiying Christians.

And im amazed how many people here are content to believe Obama’s claim that gas attacks are about to happen, which happens to be his way to get us in a war in Syria.

Insanity. The rebels are more anti israel than Assad. Obama is doing more of his evil work. And unfortunately, many on our side automatically support every single war, no matter how wrong it is for us.

Why in Gods name is everyone so eager to attack into the middle of a civil war in Syria, on behalf of the moslem brotherhood that just took over Egypt?
Can there ever be ANY war that we are not dragged into? How many hundreds of billions will this one cost us as we try to install a new radical sharia government?

Why is this our business? Assad is bad, but we are about to replace him with someone FAR worse. This is not worth one single American life.

That you don’t see them simply means you’re not paying attention, and haven’t been.

That's because I've been wasting my time putting together posts like this...

What have you been doing other than missing sarcasm so obvious a 10 year old could catch it?

The “intel community”? If you had any connections, you’re know what the intel community is. It’s not what you think it is, I can guarantee you that ;).

Anyway, there are facts out there that you’ll not find in published documents or the press. Like, Saudi Arabia has had a biowar program for a generation more advanced than the old Soviet Biopreparat, connected to Denmark and now almost certainly employing some fo the old Biopreparat researchers. The US is, too.

And yes, there were WMD’s in Iraq. Thank you for the Democrat Underground moment, you idjit.

I can’t imagine why anyone here would consider for even a moment following 0bamugabe into a war. He’s orchestrating this whole thing to destroy Israel.

Oh boy... I sure hope the Syrians don’t launch those things into America’s concentrated Democrat parasite nests, I mean cities.

Smells like a setup in the making. Best guess ... both sides have chemical weapons.

This won't be a crisis unless some guy in the deep south produces a video that hurts the feelings of a couple of Muslims.

You haven’t been paying attention. obama sides with the iranians almost 100% of the time. The saudis collude with Israel way too much.

Well well well. I seem torecall another President making that argument...and has been vilified ever since. Any question on where those chemical weapons came from? But with a compliant media and dumbed down public, any story this particular adminstration puts out will be the ‘news that’s fit to print’. I hate these people.

“And yes, there were WMD’s in Iraq.”

And they weren't there when we got there for one very simple reason:

After farting around for weeks with those imbeciles in the UN, our friend Saddam had plenty of time to get rid of them. And he did - to Syria. We have tons of video of miles of trucks streaming from Iraq to Syria.

Sane people have known the weapons have been there all along - liberal idiots will soon find out.

My take is that Syria has WMD’s from Saddam but likely has no forces trained to use them and not die in the process.

I am tired of the US putting ‘boots on the ground’. If we are going to war then put B52s in the air and do it right and do it quickly and screw the collateral damage.

Our gutless hack in the White House should have struck with drones, when the first truck entered the compound where the UNMIXED chemicals were stored.

1- You destroy the truck and occupants, not necessarily the chemicals.
2- IF the chemicals are damaged, at least they’re unmixed and less lethal.
3- You send a strong message NOT TO TOUCH!

We were told the reason for the crappy response in Benghazi was that the drones were monitoring the Chem Weapons storage sites in Syria.

So, what part of “monitoring” did the WH fail to comprehend?

Except maybe the ones Sadaam shipped there just before the war.
