Panetta: We’ve Lost Track of Syrian Chemical Weapons
FP ^

Posted on 09/28/2012 12:19:33 PM PDT by Perdogg

The U.S. has lost track of some of Syria’s chemical weapons, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Friday, and does not know if any potentially lethal chemicals have fallen into the hands of Syrian rebels or Iranian forces inside the country.

“There has been intelligence that there have been some moves that have taken place. Where exactly that’s taken place, we don’t know.” Panetta said, in a Pentagon press briefing.

If it smells like fresh-mown grass it’s Obamaspring sarin.

I thought that was phosgene...

I think you are right. I think the OBL op went down around VJ and was a done deal by the time those two (VJ and BO) got the word. I think Leon used up his last best ‘wish’ on that one.

Organophosphates. Probably that whole class of nerve agents smell similar. But I think Phosgene, as such, is an oldie not in anyone’s arsenal anymore. I may be wrong.

Bullshit. There’s always a way to track it. Hell, we knew they were transporting the crap to Syria before we went into Iraq.

We gave Saddam ample time to get rid of the evidence and we picked up the transport on satellite. The question is, why? Why the hell didn’t we ‘track’ these weapons down in Syria? Because of political correct BS.

We should have gone into Syria when we went into Iraq. We would have found the damned Saddam WMDs and we wouldn’t be having this conversation now. But nooooo!

Looks like the worm has turned.
Iraq’s WMD will be found back in Iraq.
In Libya, Obama lied and people died.
