Hmm, I did not realize that Brian Wilson was not on FOX News anymore.
You are welcome
Regardless of where the chemweps came from, Obama didn’t want to ‘go public’ with the information that they have been used because it illustrates that his blustering about a ‘red line’ meant pretty much the same as everything he says: nothing.
Now he’s been exposed to the country and the world as a bad poker player, and he’s trying to pretend that we don’t have enough evidence that they were used. And trying to figure out what he can do to save face, avoid making difficult leadership decisions and not get himself (and ‘Mommy’) all wee-wee’d up...
What a jackass.
He also doesn’t want to investigate the Boston bombers for fear it will reveal an overseas Islamic connection. And the MSM certainly won’t press for the truth. More will die to protect his lie.
WOW!
That really needs a separate thread.
Read post #16.
They crossed Zero’s bright red line. Now what? Does that mean he’ll have to do something?
It’s too bad, because it was a great sounding phrase.
I have an idea. Just mutter some platitudes and move on to something else.
0bungles writes checks his arse can’t cash.
They all avidly support the destruction of Assad.
They all avidly support the victory of the Islamic Brotherhood, which is Obama’s chosen favorite also.
Assad is a bad man, but, by and large, he has not been an aggressive threat to Israel and America.
The Brotherhood, in contrast, is vehemently anti-American and anti-Israel.
I have never believed the MSM’s estimated death toll in this war - 70,000, which comes out to more than 100 deaths each day.
And I have never believed the endless rumors about Assad's use of chemical weapons on civilians.
It makes no sense.
Assad has at least half a dozen countries he can flee to and save his life.
If he uses chemical weapons, he will be a pariah, and he will have to bet his life that the Iranian regime will protect him.
Of course the 0bama media won’t press him for the truth. He got them right in his pocket
Problem is, Obama's line will probably turn red--with blood!
Oh, puleeez. Bammy goes “public” with anything that is convenient to provide distractions to his FAILED presidency when he feels like it. Too bad he’s opted to NOT go public with Benghazi and Fast and Furious.
In other words, they are really concerned they will have to a) admit Bush was right about WMDs in Iraq and b) do something. But Zero is incapable of doing anything in the best interest of the U.S. I bet giving the order to kill OBL was absolutely gut wrenching for him, because he knew he had to do it or get kicked out in 2012.
What this General and many others found so difficult to understand, is why Geo. W. Bush would rather claim either not to know what happened to the WMD (when they clearly did know, know that it was sent to Syria), at the cost to his Administration, at the cost of leaving others who knew exactly what happened, but claim not to know and allow leftists, the media and many political enemies, claim "Bush lied, people died!"
Did the administration deny knowing what happened because they feared having to take on Syria while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time, did they fear Syria's launching nuclear and/or chemical weapons against Israel, it is anyone's guest but now another administration is refusing to tell the truth about Syria and chemical weapons.
What's the deal?
I think that is likely. also .. don't forget Dubya was embarrassed on the world stage for claiming at the UN that Iraq had WMDs but were never able to conclusively prove it to the world. How would they prove the weapons were in Syria or that they ever really made it to Syria? As you say they weren't going to invade Syria to get them. By then Dubya had had enough of all of it I am afraid ... and likely said we had to let this go and move on. Unfortunately it was an opening the dems relished and used to destroy him politically. conservatives turned against him because he fully exposed his "compassionate" conservative crap. That was definitely the turning point.
I remember seeing satellite photos of large truck convoys moving at night from Iraq to Syria just before we invaded Iraq. I was sure they were carrying WMDs that Saddam didn’t want us to find. However, if the WMDs were chemical shells or bombs, the ingredients are probably too degraded to use after all this time.
Mustard gas (phosgene) has a long ‘shelf life’ i.e. decades. If the Sarin is binary, then it too should have a couple of decade life.
Thanks. I knew mustard gas has a long shelf life, but I didn’t know about Sarin.
I did.
Doesn't change the fact that Syria had their own WMD program and was, in fact, producing chemical warfare weapons.
Chemical weapons degrade over time. Therefore, it is likely that any chemical weapons used were of recent Syrian production rather than Iraqi inventory.
Blame the Jooz.
