Reports that Iran is sending chlorine bombs to Syria have prompted lawmakers to criticize the Obama administration for ignoring Irans non-nuclear efforts to foster terrorism and discord across the Middle East.

I hope Assad only uses them slightly upwind of the Al Qeida Syrian Rebel buddies of McCain and Obama.
#Nochlorinebombs!

After all, goats and sheep really take a toll on the water quality...
This administration will never criticize them. They are a regime that has declared its hatred for us, so naturally the administration will do everything they can to please them.
ah, I see you learned how effective that hashtag/pipe BS is against Muslims...
These are not WMD?
Well, they’ll kill you, but hey, at least your shirt will be nice and white.
These people are behind the times. They should just do a hashtag or 2 to solve the problem.
Kumbombya ping. Thanks Nachum.
