<B>Barack Obama warns of Syria chemical weapons threat to US</B> 7:54AM BST 29 Aug 2013 Barack Obama argued that Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons not only violated international norms but threatened America, as he hardened the US position on the alleged used of chemical weapons by the regime of Bashar Al-Assad. "When you start talking about chemical weapons, in a country that has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the world, where over time their control of chemical weapons may erode, where they're allied to known terrorist organisations, that in the past have targeted the United States, then there is a prospect, a possibility in which chemical weapons, that can have devastating effects, could be directed at us and we want to make sure that that does not happen," he said. Mr Obama did not present any direct evidence to back up his assertions. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...s-of-Syria-chemical-weapons-threat-to-US.html How come it sounds so familiar? Hmmm. Oh wait.....
Iraq all over again.....bs. The intelligence linking Syrian President Bashar Assad or his inner circle to an alleged chemical weapons attack is no "slam dunk," with questions remaining about who actually controls some of Syria's chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether Assad himself ordered the strike, U.S. intelligence officials say... A report by the Office of the Director for National Intelligence outlining that evidence against Syria includes a few key caveats - including acknowledging that the U.S. intelligence community no longer has the certainty it did six months ago of where the regime's chemical weapons are stored, nor does it have proof Assad ordered chemical weapons use, according to two intelligence officials and two more U.S. officials. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...ME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-08-29-03-11-56
The decision process the U.S. is engaged in with regard to Syria is faulty. The U.S. has not learned from its many foreign policy errors of the past.
The US knows exactly what they're doing. Iraq wasn't bungled. It was a lie, they manufactured the lie to go in. All this is intentional.
The funniest thing about this is watching the same people who excoriated bush, shamelessly ltrying to figure out wayts to justify a war ith syria.
To "get away with" the crapola of thier actions, politicos rely upon the short memory of the voting public.
