Oh Syria, Oh Syria...

As the news stories mount regarding Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s decision to move his chemical weapons stockpile from storage to areas closer to rebel locations, there is one thing the mainstream media is not commenting on: How Syria acquired what is reported to be one of the world’s largest arsenals of bio-chemical WMD? More to the point, what they are not reporting is this: From where did the Assad regime acquire their bio-chemical WMD?

In 2006, former Iraqi general, Georges Sada, who served under Saddam Hussein before he defected, wrote a comprehensive book detailing how the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria, before the US-led action to eliminate Saddam Hussein’s WMD threat, by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed.

As reported in the New York Sun on January 26, 2006:

“‘There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands,’ Mr. Sada said. ‘I am confident they were taken over.’”

“Mr. Sada’s comments come just more than a month after Israel’s top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, told the Sun that Saddam ‘transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria.’

“Democrats have made the absence of stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq a theme in their criticism of the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in 2003...

“The discovery of the weapons in Syria could alter the American political debate on the Iraq war. And even the accusations that they are there could step up international pressure on the government in Damascus. That government, led by Bashar Assad, is already facing a UN investigation over its alleged role in the assassination of a former prime minister of Lebanon. The Bush administration has criticized Syria for its support of terrorism and its failure to cooperate with the UN investigation.”

If – and many of us believe when – the Assad regime decides to use these bio-chemical weapons; these WMD, against the rebels, and if the spent shells are found to possess Iraqi markings of manufacture, anti-war Democrats and Progressives here in the United States will have been complicit in what is tantamount to genocide, and all in pursuit of political gain; all so they could arrogantly chant “Bush lied and people died.”

But such is the nature of the Progressive Movement. It seldom considers the repercussions of advancing their agenda at all cost. This time, so as to be able to demonize a sitting president politically, they may have ignored the arming of a tyrant who, today, may very well use WMD attained from another tyrant, against his own people, possibly to the level of use seen against the Iraqi Kurds by Saddam Hussein.

Some notable quotes from the war hawks:

“Saddam Hussein has, in effect, thumbed his nose at the world community, and I think the President is approaching this in the right fashion.”

“We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction. It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict.”

“Now I believe, myself, that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense...and you have to make your own decisions about what the President knows...is that this war is lost and that the surge is not accomplishing anything, as is indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.”

“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”

“I believe that the president’s leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers...”

So, we should invade Syria to recover WMDs and perhaps to foster pro-western democracy among the grateful citizens after their despotic dictator is deposed?

We should?

I don't think Vlad would approve..., he's doing good business...

We'll lead the Russo-Iranian efforts from behind consulting with the French...

The latest intelligence indicates that Syria has begun to shift the locations in which it's storing chemical weapons. Some have been moved out of their storage areas to undisclosed locations while others have allegedly been moved from one place to another in the hopes of reminding Mr. Assad's enemies that he has the weapons and is willing to use them.

The problem with the second scenario is that if Mr. Assad's enemies call his bluff, and the Sunnis join with them, the weapons may actually be used on the Rebels and their supporters.

It's believed that one of the weapons being moved from place to place is sarin gas, a deadly nerve agent.

The situation is dire enough that the Obama administration is holding secret briefings concerning the intelligence and reviewing their possible next steps. George W. Bush's greatest critics are now getting a taste of the kind of pressure he felt when he had to rely on intelligence reports to decide whether to go after Saddam Hussein.

If the chemical threat is real, this could be a game changer.

Yeah, we know that the weapons of liberated Libya have ended up in the hands of Al Qaeda and being used by elements of the anti-semite league against Israel where the rate of attack has increased under the self-imposed silence of the world-wide left-oriented press...

Report: Assad regime using cluster bombs against Syrian rebels
Special to WorldTribune.com

WASHINGTON — The regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad is said to be using cluster bombs in the war against Sunni rebels.

Human Rights Watch asserted that Assad’s military was firing Russian-origin cluster bombs in an effort to quell the Sunni revolt in Syria.

The New York-based group identified one of the munitions as the
RBK-250, dropped from aircraft and designed to rain hundreds of bomblets over an area of 100 square meters.

“The RBK-250 series cluster bomb can only be delivered from a warplane because of its size and the speed necessary for its submunitions to be deployed correctly,” HRW said.
In a report on July 12 based on two online videos, HRW said the Assad regime employed the cluster bombs northwest of Hama, a major battleground in the war. The group also reported AO-1Sch submunitions, delivered by RBK-250.

“These videos show identifiable cluster bombs and submunitions,” HRW arms division director Steve Goose said. “If confirmed, this would be the first documented use of these highly dangerous weapons by the Syrian armed forces during the conflict.”
