“My guess would be Syrian stockpiles. Supposedly, Khadaffi destroyed all his (2003?). Of course, that doesn’t mean some didn’t survive.”

Hmm.... Does this mean Bush actually DIDN’T lie, as the dems endlessly say?/rhetorical question. I know he didn’t lie and that all the top dems of the day also said there were WMD in Iraq.

We should be allowed to take off the gloves. If they use chemical weapons, our boys should too.

Enough PC.

If their side doesn’t honor the Geneva Convention, then our side should tear it up too.

Give them ‘what for’.

Does mustard gas have an “expiration” date. Would mustard gas manufactured years ago be effective today?

"One of the more frequently-dumped weapons was the "Sprühbüchse 37" (SprüBü37, Spray Can 37, 1937 being the year of its fielding with the German Army). These weapons contain sulfur mustard mixed with a thickener, which gives it a tar-like viscosity. When the content of the SprüBü37 comes in contact with water, only the sulfur mustard in the outer layers of the lumps of viscous mustard hydrolyzes, leaving behind amber-colored residues that still contain most of the active sulfur mustard. On mechanically breaking these lumps, e.g., with the drag board of a fishing net or by the human hand, the enclosed sulfur mustard is still as active as it had been at the time the weapon was dumped. These lumps, when washed ashore, can be mistaken for amber, which can lead to severe health problems."

Obozo, in his typical style, will just blow this off by sending cases of ketsup to our soldiers and apologizing to ISIS for the mere *thought* of hot dogs!

Well, FWIW, Syria had a fairly-extensive chemical capability and multiple SCUD launchers in the late 1990’s.

Which makes them a natural point to acquire any of Saddam’s stuff. Syria was (is) an Iran ally (the leaders anyways) whereas Saddam had fought a bloody 8-year war ending roughly a decade earlier.

A fertile breeding ground for Obama and Hillary to stir things up - which they did - Iraq, Libya, Syria.

And all of it puts the state of Israel in even more danger. /Captain Obvious

The only reason at this timeframe for the left stream media to issue a mustard gas report would be to choreograph a feigned concern designed to help Illary with talking points to aid her disastrous (to her) polling.

Not surprised. They’d use nukes if they had them.

Don't worry we will use NARRATIVE weapon, highly lethal. This will destroy every enemy.

Ok. When President Trump gets done fumigating the Oval Office, he has a clear path to use tactical nukes against these barbarians.

They and their friends in Russia started it and Trump will finish it.

Totally expected. Did anyone really expect them to follow rules?

Now we should worry about dirty bomb. They will try. Iran and Pakistan can give them.

Had a relative who got some in WWI.

My Grandma said it took years off his life.

I believe it can also cause cancer.

Loved that movie.

And yes, if they are using chemical weapons against our troops...that is highly disturbing.

“I can remember when our diplomats warned Sadat that use of WMD’s against the coalition would draw the harshest possible response...which is code for a lumpy sheet of glass.”

Pardon my ignorance, but don’t we still have some sort agreement with NATO on this?

These always provide for great payback during such encounters:
