Syria loads chemical weapons into
bombs; military awaits Assad´s order

NBC News, by Jim Miklaszewski & M. Alex Johnson,

Original Article

Posted By:draggingtree, 12/5/2012 6:53:37 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta reportedly believes the military should receive a pay cut in order to respond to the budget cuts facing the Pentagon — a position that might strengthen the Republican push to reverse President Obama’s executive order raising the salary of Vice President Joe Biden and other federal officials. “Panetta will recommend to Congress that military salaries be limited to a one percent increase in 2014,” CNN reports, explaining that Panetta is “effectively decreasing troop salaries next year . . . The decision comes as the secretary is stepping up the rhetoric about dire cuts at the Pentagon if sequestration goes into effect.”

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) plans to introduce (or has already introduced) gun-control legislation in the 113th Congress, ostensibly to protect the lives of children, and to curb mass murders, like the one that occurred in Newtown, CT. At the same time, Feinstein is very pro-choice and supports taxpayer funding for abortions. She opposes bans on partial-birth abortion. She has spoken about the constitutional right to an abortion and, in 2003, on the Senate floor, spoke in support of Roe v Wade. She, in 2005, opposed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. snip

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent?
