| The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people and is awaiting final orders from President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials told NBC News on Wednesday. The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said. As recently as Tuesday, officials had said there was as yet no evidence that the process of mixing the "precursor" chemicals had begun. But Wednesday, they said their worst fears had been confirmed:

Obamao´s legacy. Death and destruction throughout the middle east.
These are Iraq´s WMD and IMHO there are many in congress who knew it from the start but continued on with the lie that there were no WMDs.

Agree totally #1. Just heard Moon on the subject saying they must be ´´brought to justice´´. No. They need to be executed, and quickly. No Syrian people should be subjected to this horrible death.

I am convinced we intend to intervene. Truth will again be the first casualty.
For now we have the unimpeachable words and leaks from our side.
OTOH Syria´s record over 50 years is hardly reassuring. They may really be mad enough to use Sarin and/or other chemical weapons.

So, Assad is finally putting Saddam´s chemical weapons to use. Everyone wanted to know where the WMDs went. Well, here´s the proof. I guess Sad Dam Insane´s legacy of killing his own people with gas lives on in Assad.

What has Assad got to lose by using nerve gas?
He´s already considered a war criminal so he could be tried and executed anyway.
He has everything to gain by showing that he´s crazy enough to use WMDs.
He could use them and supply Hezbollah and Hamas with Sarin.
Any attack on Assad could carry the treat of world wide terror attacks.
That threat alone could protect Syria and Iran from any consequences as they gather more power for the Shiite faction of the religion of Satan.

What proof does Obama have that this has happened? Is he going to start World War III over Syria? Why are even a thousand more Syrians dead a bigger concern than the previous thousands? If Russia has drawn a red line in front of Syria, why not Russia deal with the problem? What is the US interest in Syria?

I guess one of my shortcomings is that I can´t discriminate between the evil of targeting and killing innocents by ones, 5s, 12s or a thousand at a time.
Explosives are also "chemical weapons." It´s the chemistry of fast-expanding hot gases.
#1: Right you are. Even more reason to be contemptuous of Senators and Representatives.
#11: Indeed. Our service-members are one of our most-precious resources. The way they are treated by this Administration is criminal. Maybe one day....

They will load the bombs under cover of darkness - tonight.
They will use them and nobody will know it until days later is my guess.
We will wake up any day now and find we are going in.
First thing that´ll happen is oil goes to $150 minimum.
On its way to $200 @ barrel.
Iran will react - probably try to sink a US Navy ship or two and then arm the Strait of Hormuz.
We will be forced to attack Iranian artillery batteries on Iranian soil to keep the Strait open..
The Sarin will fall into the wrong hands and be used on Israel ...
...or smuggled in to use on us.
This might be the spark.

I think that any use of nerve gas will be the spark that sets off WWIII. That will be the tripping point. If even one drop of nerve gas is used on any Israelis, all bets are off.

IIRC, chemical weapons don´t necessarily have to be mixed before deployment - they can be in separate chambers within a warhead and mixed between launch & impact. For whatever that´s worth...

The US surely has drones based in Turkey and Israel that are both monitoring Assad´s military and his chemcial weapons storage areas. These drones could launch Hellfire missiles at suspected bunkers, aircraft and artillery positions if Syrian troops are seen in protective garments. The Navy´s Sixth Fleet should also be in the eastern Mediterrean with 60+ aircraft and cruise missiles. So, we have the forces. Besides forces, CIA must be in contact with senior Syrian military, warning them not to use these toxins and to secure them against rebel seizure. Whether these officers will listen is the unknown. Hopefully, Assad the Reformer will flee rather than destroy his people.

I´m serious, could some ldotters help me out? So the "Arab Spring" goes on in Syria, who are the rebels? Just like the others in Egypt, Libya and all the other countries? The Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Queda and all the other "protesters" who just wanted "demrocracy"?
I just want to go back to Benghazi and find out just what the heck out government (pick your agencies) were doing over there. Why was the guy from Turkey there and he got out alive, I guess.
This report was pushed from CNN, now NBC and FOX is following suit... Something stinks there is a "somethin´ in the wood pile".

#27, I share your suspicions about this story.
It does seem that the MSM, aka Obama´s lackeys, are pushing this frightening story.
It might be true; but another possibility is that it is propaganda by an Obama regime that wants to do the same thing to Syria as it did to Libya.

I seem to remember way back when, a report of FOX showing satellite imagery of a Russian convoy of trucks allegedly driven by Spetsnaz troops, moving "product" from Iraq to Syria. I saw this report just once and all traces of it disappeared....Never to be seen or heard from again....if I were a betting man, I might wager this gas was the WMD that never existed.

Russia, China and Iran are ready to stand with Syria the moment all begins. Russia is said to have 100,000 troops close to the region now. Benghazi (Stevens) was being used to collect arms in Lybia which had been provided by the US by way of Qatar--what other deals has Hussein, Moochie and Hillary been making?
Who started the Arab Spring? Was it the Muslim Brotherhood in jugears administration with the help of Hillary´s soulmate, Huma? Did they plan to install Muslim Brotherhood in all of these countries?

Benghazi annex was a Libyan arms recovery & delivery to Turkey for re-distribution to The Muslim Brotherhood operation. Stevens was there on a social mission related to a school but a kidnapping attempt was supposed to occur, requiring Obama to trade the Blind Sheik to get him back... but the Russians (who are angry that we are arming Mo Bro invaders) were tipped off & turned it into a massacre.
+++ Propaganda Alert ++++ Not only does NBC not reference a verifiable source, they do not have a source in Syria to inform them!
Obama & Hitlery seem hell bent on starting WW3 this year; Anyone know why, I´d sure like to know!
It will be the Anti-NWO Alliance of Russia, China, India & many smaller nations vs NATO, US & The Muslim Brotherhood....

London, England - A new wealth tax is being proposed by the leftist wing (The Liberal Democrats) of our coalition government that will come with unprecedented powers to enter our homes and root through our personal possessions to value rings, necklaces, paintings and furniture, anything that might raise more taxes. If we refuse to be inspected or get our own valuations wrong, we would be facing fines, maybe even a jail sentence. This brainchild was conceived by the Lib Dems for their next election manifesto and is part of a series of measures planned to tax the better off.

As most real conservatives know, Obama, by his own admissions, appointments, associates, and actions, is a hard-core, 21st century, Marxist revolutionary. This means that while he has no real plan for what his utopian, pie-in-the-sky collectivist state would look like, or how it would survive as an economic entity, he is dedicated to destroying our existing free, constitutional, capitalist republic to start the process. It also means that like all Marxists, archaic and modern, his primary enemy is what Marx called the bourgeoisie – the Middle Class. As those who went to school while actual history

A week from now, a dramatic new federal policy is set to go into effect that threatens U.S. national security, thousands of jobs and more. In a bit of irony, President Obama stood Tuesday with first responders who could lose their jobs if the policy goes into effect. Most Americans are just hearing about this Washington creation for the first time: the sequester. What they might not realize from Mr. Obama´s statements is that it is a product of the president´s own failed leadership.

Leaving aside for the moment the likelihood that parties and party politics in America will become moot within the next few years (owing to the emergence of a single party or the country’s dissolution into civil war), conservatives and libertarians are finding themselves at an unpleasant crossroads. While some observers gave up on the leadership of the Republican Party long ago, it is now becoming apparent to rank-and-file Republicans that the GOP leadership and its prominent operatives are wholly complicit in the fundamental transformation of America.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
