Paging Peter “Bush Derangement Syndrome” Boyles.
Not much attention is being paid to this. I wonder why?
No one wants to support George Bush. No one wants to speak against the Muslim Barbarians.
Because it doesn’t fit the MSM’s big lie.
Lol, we all were tracking the Iraqi transfer of weapons to Syria. What WMD? Oh you mean THOSE WMD.
Syria has had an extensive chemical weapons program long before events in Iraq. The Israelis were reporting on the Syrian chemical weapons long before 2003.
For goodness’ sake, Saddam shipped them to Syria so our troops wouldn’t find em when they took on Iraq.
And then, of course, all our wonderful and patriotic media cheerleaders chimed in with, “Okay, so where are the WMDs?”
Like they didn’t know.
In the first couple of days of the Iraq invasion, our troops fired on a convoy of Russian vehicles heading for Syria and that sparked off an international objection from Russia that we fired on “diplomats”, who just happened to be Spetznaz troops. We allowed the convoy to proceed and nothing more was said. Not much attention? It was Bush’s fault for firing on defenseless diplomats.
Because Bush hates black people.
Whoops, wrong meme. Bush lied, people died.
Dammit. Once more, with feeling: THERE ARE NO WMDS IN IRAQ OR SYRIA.
Anybody who suggests otherwise is looking for a pretext to invade Syria.
“...anti-war Democrats and Progressives here in the United States will have been complicit in what is tantamount to genocide...”
Money line.
I already suspected this.
Because Saddam and Assad were not allies (Syria fought against him in 1990), the Bush government seemed to less than sure that this supposed transfer ever happened and even if it did, Iraqi Sarin for example degraded to the point of ineffectiveness within a matter of months.
Whatever is left of Saddam era agents are probably still toxic, but not effective as weapons.
Flame away gentlemen, but someone needed to bring this thread back to earth.
The swine.
This might be the single stupidest article or blog post I’ve ever seen - maybe even worse than the “illegal immigrants are bringing bubonic plague to the US!” piece from coachisright.
Thankfully many other replies have pointed out that Syria has had a gigantic chem/bio program extending back to the early 70s, but what I cannot fathom is how someone writes something like this and places it on the Internet for other people to see without even doing 30 seconds of research (such as Googling “Syria chemical weapons history”) so they don’t write something embarrassing.
I think everybody’s way behind the curve on this one.
It doesn’t matter how much of Syria’s stockpile came from Iraq, and how much is homegrown. At some point, if there’s a catastrophe involving use of those weapons, either on Syrian rebels or Isreali’s or Turks or whatever, the MSM will conveniently forget that they said the weapons of mass destruction didn’t exist, and blame Bush for the tragedy, since what they’ll call his reckless policies in Iraq caused those weapons to end up in the irresponsible hands of Assad.
I've been championing Sada's eye-witness reporting on these events during the lead up to the start of "shock and awe."
When will the facts in Sada's tale come to enough people to come to realize what actually happened to Saddam's WMD?
BUT BUT!!!
Bush lied!!!! right?
(didn’t he?.....whaaaaaaa)
I’ll take “Iraq, with Spetsnaz assistance” for $500, SumProVita.
