When it comes to chemical weapons in Syria ...Drew,<br /><br />When it comes to chemical weapons in Syria "proven" is the operative word.<br /><br />Both al-Assad and the al-Nusra/al-Qaeda rebels have chemical weapons in their arsenals. Specifically, both have the chemical agents sarin and mustard. Both have chlorine gas weapons.<br /><br />This past week, in a report virtually no one in this country noticed, government officials in Baghdad, Iraq finally located the al-Qaeda-in-Iraq facility which has been producing sarin and mustard agent for use in Syria by al-Nusra.<br /><br />Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra are the same Sunni jihadist organization as i reported a short time ago.<br /><br />Proving which side is using what chemical weapon in Syria will be difficult at best; and a little easier if the big powers with an unalterable agenda want to have they way regardless of who is doing the killing with chemical weapons.<br /><br />And, while I'm on the subject, Hezbollah also has chemical weapons in Lebanon. I saw a report today that they may strike Israel with their (Iranian-made) chemical weapons loaded onto small drone aircraft.<br /><br />Pretty rough summer in store me thinks.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-29988292154031532862013-06-05T17:59:30.013-04:002013-06-05T17:59:30.013-04:00Hey Sean,

I think it would be a mistake for us to get involved, but I am also aware that the west has an intrest in proventing anykind of WMD escalation.

Of course the Israilis have said they will not let that happen. In fact they have said that Russian shipping bringing those missiles will be subjet to interdiction. Meanwhile Hezballah has entered the conflict on the side of Assad, hoping no doubt to get their hands on some of those advanced surface to surface missiles that the Russians have supposed to have already supplied to Assad. Meanwhile our Sec State Kerry and Senetor McCain have been meeting with the rebels trying to get them money and arms. The pressure is building for israel and looks like it may be released soon. I guess the next move is up to Russia, unless our President decides he needs to take some kind of action. I sure hope not.<br />Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-7471986539864691832013-05-20T18:45:19.415-04:002013-05-20T18:45:19.415-04:00Jeri,

It could almost anything.<br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-84488439679468741562013-05-20T16:33:27.742-04:002013-05-20T16:33:27.742-04:00Thanks Sean,

It always seems like we're one step away from that, doesn't it?mark3210noreply@blogger.com
