Syrian government claims it found chemical weapons in rebel tunnels

State TV says 'chemical agents' discovered in Damascus as Assad regime continues to deny Wednesday's alleged attack

The Syrian government has said it has discovered chemical agents in tunnels in Damascus after the killing of hundreds of Syrians in a suspected chemical weapons attack on Wednesday.

Syrian state television said government soldiers found chemical agents in rebel tunnels in the Damascus suburb of Jobar on Saturday and some of the troops were suffocating.

"Army heroes are entering the tunnels of the terrorists and saw chemical agents," state television quoted a source as saying. "In some cases, soldiers are suffocating while entering Jobar."

"Ambulances came to rescue the people who were suffocating in Jobar," the broadcaster said, adding that an army unit was preparing to storm the suburb where rebels fighting to oust the president, Bashar al-Assad, are based.

caww just pinged you to the Egypt thread. Can you get to that!

Hate! to see you thwarted from posting by FR tech probs when you have physical strength & will to do so.

I am assuming you have reset your prefs to 20/20.

One last suggestion: Reboot browser.

BTW: Swordmaker just posted this thread:

The index page of FreeRepublic randomly stops loading in mid sentence in the middle of a thumbnail article of the body. . . And re-loading just finds another random stopping place. Not good fellows.

I see you’re having issues on pagination in the threads, but this is on the first page of the index.

"Well, not to worry...NSC director Susan Rice is on the case and asking for help from the Twitter universe. Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, Rice has issued a twitter BOLO alert for any leads---and the public is dutifully responding."

Foreign policy by tweet. Is this what the Zero Regime has come to? And to be even handed, shouldn't the question also be what are the rebels hiding?

Pretty sad state of affairs. I have been watching videos from The Center for Security Policy on the Muslim Brotherhood for 2 days now. Houston.....we have a huge problem!! Traitors,morons, saboteurs, Islamists, AQ moles....the whole government is infested with them now. Scary stuff.

Here is a link to some of the stuff for those interested:

“I have been watching videos from The Center for Security Policy on the Muslim Brotherhood for 2 days now. “

Wrong link?

Is it this one -— the excellent 10-part series?:

They do a great job tying in MB in the US with MB global ambitions.

I download Gaffney’s radio prog every day (4 segments - 8 min each):

No, but I watched that series as well. The series of lectures that most interested me was Stephen Couglin’s. The link works for me, so not sure what the problem is on your end. Maggie had same problem with one of my links the other day. Hmmmm.....

You could probably google it.

Stephen Coughlin, Part 1: Lectures on National Security & Counterterror Analysis (Introduction)

The lecture series is in 6 segments. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to watch it. The YouTube channel is called ‘securefreedom’.

As we approach this next anniversary of 9/11, I have a greater sense of impending destruction during this anniversary more so than with any of the past. We are STILL trying to bring the perpetrators of Benghazi to justice and now as the new distraction, a muslim group is planning a Million Muslim March!! So what does DEAR LEADER do? Let’s intervene in SYRIA!!!

Its ironic that this adminiatration is choosing the alleged use of WMDs as the preferred reason to go to war on behalf of its terrorist friends.

And WHERE did those WMDs originate? Has every country's intelligence service suspect Syria of creating WMDs like they did Saddam?

US foreign policy amounts to twitter tweeting twits.

We do NOT have an Administration that is up to this kind of challenge. The only kind of challenge that they are up to is silencing conservatives!
