Did he send the WMDs to Syria? ( After all, both are Baathist parties ).
The curious thing is Saddam used these Chemical weapons on the Kurds ( slaughtering over 5,000 of them ), but they suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth when the inspectors were looking for them.
Inquiring minds want to know...
Could be.
But it isn’t our problem, either or any way.
The warmongers at NPR are leading the charge, I see.
Muslims killing other Muslims. Somehow I am not concerned.
The line has been crossed, bambi. Now what?
Chemical weapons are quite easy to fabricate, by any nation with a chemical industry. Typically the US had very highly concentrated, very dangerous, but binary weapons, that were far safer until just before, or even during use, such as chemicals that would mix while flying in an artillery round.
The Russians, and thus the Syrians their allies, preferred far simpler weapons, often crudely stored in 55 gallon drums.
But lower order chemical weapons can be just as effective against soldiers and civilians without protection. Several are actually World War I, a hundred years old, technology, not sophisticated at all.
This being said, all the rebels, or Israelis would have to do is produce some soil or other samples containing such contaminants. Often not hard to do if the chemical weapons are “skin contact” with a low vapor hazard.
During the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranians went with some UN inspectors to get such samples. They parked with a wheel of their jeep atop an unexploded chemical artillery round.
And while the UN people were wearing full body butyl rubber protective suits, the Iranians just put plastic bags over their boots, wore rubber gloves, wore a surgical mask and glasses, and used a wrench to open the artillery round. The liquid within they drained into a canteen cup, covered it with plastic wrap which was held on by a rubber band.
“Here’s your sample”.
Bush’s fault!
Even without chemical weapons, Assad and his bunch know full-well that there will be a genocide if he falls...and just not his inner circle, but just about everyone who’s not a Sunni - and that includes the Christians, and there are a lot of them. Additionally, it’s obvious to everyone that Chechens and mercenaries from that part of the world are leading the fight against him.
Given that situation, you use the tools available...or get tortured and die...and remember who started this thing.
Check the labels.

Assad wouldn't do that, any more than Sadaam would.
When mohammedans are killing other mohammedans just stand back and let them have at it.
Perhaps Syrian made or perhaps from the Iraqi stockpile. But it’s a fact the Iraqi bio-chem arsenal was transferred, largely with the assistance of the Russians, during the 14 month lead up to the 2003 invasion. Could never grasp why this was never exposed by the Bush administration. It was well attested to by multiple sources while it was happening. Instead they allowed the idiotic “No WMD’s ... Bush Lied” story to prosper, one result of which was the catastrophe of Obama’s election.
Why would we get involved?
To pour billions in nation-building the neighboring state of our previous endeavor? The country couldn’t even stomach Iraq, why would Syria be better?
Then we can hand over the government to the Syrian rebels, who just announced a merger with the Islamic State of Iraq.
So tell me again why we would want to get involved.
Too bad both sides can’t lose.
obama was seen running to his quarters with hands over both jug-ears and screaming “lalalalalalalalalala”.
LLS
Yes, and bears have been cr*pping in the woods.
The million-dollar question is, Where did Syria get those chemical weapons?
And the answer is:
Wait for it...
Saddam!
Bing-bing-bing-bing!
You remember that guy - the one all the Liberal rags decided Bush didn’t have any right to pursue way back in the day, since he ‘didn’t really have WMDs.’
Well... yes, he did.
>>>Could these be the very same Chemical Weapons ( AKA WMDs) the inspectors COULD NOT FIND in Iraq when Saddam was deposed?

The reality is every idiot can make chemical weapon. It is so stupid to seek for Saddam’s roots there.
Syria has a military which was designed along the same lines of the 70’s USSR military. As Syria is the last remaining military style regime from the Cold War, they are the last remaining Chemical Warfare dependent military, which was also a major part of the Soviet’s military inventory. As for the rebels or who ever else is fighting Assad, they have found the stores of Chemical Warfare materiel that was convoyed by the Russian’s out of Iraq for three weeks just prior to the US invasion. It is so sad that the Democrat party knowingly bashed Bush/Republicans for WMD in Iraq when they were privy to the negotiations that allowed the Russians to remove this very WMD into Syria....
Could these be the very same Chemical Weapons ( AKA WMDs) the inspectors COULD NOT FIND in Iraq when Saddam was deposed? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You betcha. And Russian Army trucks were used to transport them. The French also had some of this done .Neither Russia nor France wanted the world to know they were trading WMD for oil with Saddam Hussein. So they trucked most of this WMD ordnance to Syria, where it was either destroyed or stored, depending on the shelf life of the various WMD.
Israel has known this for years.
Now Obama and his liberal fascists who concluded for theire own political reasons that tere were NO WMDs in Iraq, NOW have to face the fact that they are being used.BUahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Obama will likely NEVER acknowledge that WMD are being used in Syria, unless he needs an excuse for Israel to be invaded by his Muslim friends in Gaza, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria....because Israel would be allegedly using WMDs NOT Syria.
