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.

so much for the Clinton Bump...
Under the Clinton admin they lost nuclear secrets behind a copier and they left the “football” behind after some social event.
I guess Obama is trying to catch up.
Of course you have. All available assets have been diverted to getting Obastard elected.
These bozos shouldn’t be entrusted with an outhouse in the woods, much less our poor Nation.
Ah, ok...lemme get this right:
1. DHS has bought about 1.5 BILLION rounds of military ammo that legally CANNOT be used outside the USA. And that’s an amount that would have supplied US forces in Iraq at the peak of the fighting there for...17 years.
2. Now there’s all these chemical weapons floating around...or at least the mind of the public has been planted with that story, promulgated by an Administration that was OK with exporting thousands of machine-guns to the worst people south of our border
3. Hussein is facing a reallllly “iffy” re-election
Now...with that stuff laid out there like that what new and utterly insane option might Our Betters have open to them...?
Hmmm....?
Obama’s fault!
this has to be a joke, obama’s freign policy is , well has fallen to bits and in a mess.
Course THIS MEDIA WON;T REPORT THE FACTS AND QUESTION THIS ADMINISTRATION.
So all is clear and wel for them and the masses have no clue who they are really voting for
Oh gads....I hope not...lol.
I sure hope the Romney camp is keeping track of these so when he's asked about his "foreign affairs" experience during the debates he can respond with the littany of Obama failures! Surely Romney would be better than Obama - we saw that after the Libyan embassy attacks.
To wit I'll note that the American Electorate now sees Romney as better on Foreign Affairs according to today's polling data shown on Drudge.
Bingo.
Nothing new.
All this would be hilariously entertaining if it were a offbeat comedy and not real life.
The President has made a mockery and a joke out of everything and he and his media buddies are all having a good ol’time.
Soman and cyclosarin as well.
Secretary Baird: Broken Arrow. It's a Class 4 strategic theatre emergency. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon.
Giles Prentice: I don't know what's scarier: losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.
Another Democrat “leadership” screw up...and from one of the individuals at least approximating behavioral adulthood in this crowd.
Have you heard anything more on this?
IOW, Panetta says, “it’s not my fault.” That must also mean that he has credible evidence that he warned Obama and warned him, and warned him ... there’s a briefing book history tied to briefings never attended, recommendations that the weapons were about to go rogue and intervention was needed NOW but President Jarrett said “no.” This time Panetta couldn’t finesse her, the Bin Laden raid was a one-time thing and she caught on to the process. He is washing his hands. This is going to rip wide open.
Your link only overviewed MANPADS up to the SA-18 model and did not include the SA-24, which locks on in just 3 seconds or so and generally will not be deceived by countermeasures as simple as flares and chaff.
But even if it had, if we had knowledge that 15,000 samples of MANPADS as old as the SA-7 were in the hands of AQ, then that instead would be news, and it would be very bad news.
Please don’t underestimate Obama and his goons. They may be stupid but they have completely hidden the fact they are Muslim sympathiesers. This is not incompetence. This is TREASON. They are helping the Muslim’s and playing dumb. Obama loves Iran and it’s tiny little SCRUNT leader. Ignores Bibi? WTF?
