CBC out of Canada reports unnamed Syrian officials speaking to the Associated Press denying the use of chemical weapons against foreign jihadist 'rebels' within the country that seemed to surface yesterday and that were repeated by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
The report also quotes a Syrian lawmaker Sharif Shehadeh:
Shehadeh called the U.S. claims "lies" and likened them to false accusations that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction a claim U.S. policymakers had used to justify the invasion of that country in 2003.
"What is being designed for Syria now is similar to what happened in Iraq when Colin Powell lied in the Security Council and said Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction prior to the U.S. invasion and occupation of that country," he said.
Meanwhile Israeli officials are calling for the US to respond to the now debunked assertion that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons:
"I think the U.S., as the leader of the Western world, should lead the efforts with our partners in Europe and Israel and to take action with what we're seeing happening today in Syria," Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon told CNN.
The question remains why Israel is so eager to see the collapse of the Assad regime. Do they believe they can control whatever Muslim Brotherhood puppet replaces him? If so this is extremely naive thinking from our Israeli friends as it would no doubt signal the start of an even longer and more protracted civil war. Also the evidence from Egypt suggests that when the Muslim Brotherhood takes control they immediately persecute Christians, re-write laws along fundamentalist religious grounds and cause political and social unrest.
Heck the thread on FR about the Sarin IED seems to have vaporized.
The article still exists at Foxnews and other places.
The CIA foia site no longer has the Duelfer report available.
Seems the current administration doe s not like that their talking points previously were wrong.
Sorry, I forgot to name the zotted troll!

???
I hadn’t noticed that.
Oh.
Hmm.
Wonder if he had been someone else previously?
Look up sarin bomb attacks in Iraq DUmmie. I had fellow troops there when that happened, but the state rune media would never DARE to report the truth.
I don’t know.
However, looking at his posting history, he’s doing what all trolls do lately. No more one post swearing at conservatives and done. They come in as conservatives and join the “descent” of some against any given conservative, sow division and hide behind known FReeper conservatives who debate among themselves.
This makes it tough for the mods to ban them because his/her opinion on a given thread could be the same like yours or mine.
Case in point, homosexual trolls would be quite satisfied with a daily debate on homosexuality while appearing “libertarian” on the issue with a “live and let live attitude” with inventions like “I have a family member who is so and so, etc.” argument.
They slip up eventually and they get the zot!
He reminded me heavily of JohnGalt, especially withthe statement that he didn’t think Sarin was a WMD.
[Something the GaltedOne said waaaaaay back in the dark ages of the forum.]
Former poster JohnGalt would drag his friends around the forum and troll threads mentioning Iraq, the war, and terrorism.
He loved to say exactly the same things this guy did.
And move the goal posts.
Then claim “I didn’t say that” even though you could give links to where they did say it.
Weird.
I think you are right. His screen name is in the same format as JohnGalt!
Now that the cat is out of the bag; expect him to appear as a bunch of numbers and letters! Hehehe
LOL.
Maybe he’ll try another Ayn Rand character next time, like his first handle.
I wish the liberaltarians would stop that. Ayn Rand absolutely despised Libertarians, called them ‘hippies of the right’.
I’ll help him out.
Any Rand and 15-———> AR-15!!
We better watch out if there is a conservative FReeper from the 90s classes who has that name...I didn’t check...apologies in advance.
Yeah, same here.
Also wish they’d stop claiming to be ‘true conservatives’ as they hold very liberal positions on things not at all conservative.
I also liked how our thread originator claimed in post 60 in refrence to WMDs in Iraq:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3012724/posts?page=60#60
“Who are all these people ? Names?
im open to looking at evidence.”
Then said in posts 78, 126, and 128 that he doesn’t care about the facts OR the evidence.

LOL!
Yeah, the Great Old Ones tend to get cranky about being awakened by us newer posters.
Something about wrong sacrifices, no dancers and stale beer or some such.
You, with a turn of the century tag could get cranky with a n00b like me!
hes gone but I bet he’ll be back on with more of his insane posts and how he;s a conservative because he likes Taft LOL
just come back on and saw he;s gone but he’ll be back telling us how he is a conservative and then post all over the place and then tell us how he;s into Taft.
just saw that, LOL.
or he’ll come back through private message, remember some time ago when many of us got private messages telling us how the person was a conservative and he deserves respect?
Darn I missed his exit...what got him zapped? Well now he has more time to study Taft.
