Israelies are buying gas mask faster than we can ship them.
The smart people already own them.
Iranian freighter ship traveling up the Potomac, anyone?

Looks to me like Zero is going to do the same thing in Syria he did in Libya: supplying Al Quaida and the Muslim Brotherhood with weapons by pretending to take down a tyrant.

Of course, he'll get Congressional authorization first before taking military action abroad. /s

Scott Ritter’s comments ???
No wonder.
Didn't he get shot down on his first flight in combat?

Paging Fr-er section 9...

I remember him posting back then something to the effect ( this is not a qoute ) the Spetnaz came in and took all the nasty stuff back to Russia and the Syrians got the clown gas. It is obviously stronger than that, but you look @ Bush wanted his relationshop with putie-pute-Putin and he could trust him and now we have the hang over from that? Was that GWB's idea to have a relationship with Putin or some aide that sold him on the malarkey that he could be trusted... And that whole Blix dog and pony show? I am so disgusted at the media and possibly even Washington insiders for nailing GWB on this and or stopping them from going after the Syrians..

I’ve known this for years. Read Georges Sada’a book “SADDAM’s SECRETS’.Sada was one of Saddam’s top Generals who converted to Christianity. On page 259 he tells of transporting wmd to Syria using commercial Boeing 747s.This was in 2002 I believe.This an informative book.

Any newbie photo-analyst at the time could see what it was.

Agreed, I would have expected any of the 96D's who worked for me to identify them. Even the newest NUG right out of school.

There were no 96U's in my day, so I'll ask you. Does 96U training cover the basics of what a 96D is looking for? It would seem logical to me.

Oh but he did!! He called his very bestest pals, the muslims, a “Religion of Peace”. (That was his code for, “Saddam’s WMD’s were moved to Syria”). Okay, so that makes no sense......guess I had better go mix one! (ONE...? WHAT?)

Maybe Bush didn’t want to start anything with Syria.

Then again, maybe Bush was friends with the terrorists attacking our nation and didn't want to offend their King...

1998, CNN Columbus, Ohio townhall meeting with Albright, Berger, and Cohen

Madeline Albright said:

“Iraq is a long way from Ohio, but what happens there matters a great
deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use
nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest security threat we face. And it is a threat against which
we must, and will, stand firm.

In discussing Iraq, we begin by knowing that Saddam Hussein, unlike
any other leader, has used weapons of mass destruction even against
his own people. In fact, he is a repeat offender, having used them
both in the battle and against his people.”

Nowadays, a 96U can do a lot of the recognition calls that a full-trained Delta could do; the difference being, the Uniform has got tactical and maybe operational imagery to concentrate on. The Delta looks at the strategic imagery.

BOTH have the advantage, due to technology, of seeing real-time shots right off the bird. My time as a Uniform let me see superb resolution, but take into account the altitude of the platform allowed for it.

My time as a 35C on the officer side dealt a LOT with static images off the birds. The 96U is a new generation, new tech across the board.

RE: Iraq, Syria, WMDs.

Just think, if any of the brainiacs in federal government had been Freepers in 2007 (2007 and earlier), they would have known this, or at least suspected this WMD situation much, much earlier.

Too bad federal government considers FreeRepublic one of the enemies. We could have saved the feds a lot of time going over Becka Valley, etc, with them. At least by 2007. FreeRepublic = once again cutting edge and ahead of the curve re: Iraq, Syria, WMDs.

Many, many lives, war injuries and so much $$$ prosecuting Middle East could have been spared.

Thank you, Jim Robinson!

I watched the coverage as every wheeled vehicle in Iraq toodled into Syria over that 3 day period

No, you didn't. You might have thought you did but according to the msm, it didn't happen. Nope, it was a figment of your imagination. Silly goose, everyone knows there were no WMD. BTW, you are required to report to the re-education compound tomorrow at 8 AM.
