The United States has not determined whether Syria has transferred Scud missiles to Lebanon's Hezbollah, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Tuesday.

"We are still looking into it. We haven't [made] any particular judgment at this point as to whether any transfer has taken place but ... this is something that we have great concern about," Assistant Secretary of State P.J. Crowley told reporters.

The United States summoned the senior Syrian diplomat in Washington on Monday to address what it called "provocative behavior" regarding the potential transfer of Scud missiles to Hezbollah, which it said could be threaten Lebanon and Israel.

"The United States condemns in the strongest terms the transfer of any arms, and especially ballistic missile systems such as the Scud, from Syria to Hezbollah," the statement, issued by State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid, said.

They don’t know????? If they don’t, they don’t deserve to be in office. I don’t believe it.

Change the date on this item to April 20, 2020, and it will say the same thing.

The State Department wouldn’t know its ass from a hole in the ground if you gave them a map. The old BI&R is gone, long politicized by crackpots and leftists. The CIA isn’t much better re their reports on Iran and nuclear weapons.

Iran is the enemy and we’d better do something about it now.
Syria is the enemy as well as Hezbullah. Time to unleash the Drone Air Force and kill the bastards, hit their camps, office buildings, rallies, funerals, and camel-humping events.

Bull sheet, bull sheet, bull sheet!

If that is in case true, then let's just consider the CIA irrelevant and clueless!!!

This is simply the Fascist Community Agitator no wanting to sully the waters as he moves to force Israel towards more concessions in his effort to "Impose" a 2-state solution, while appeasing all of his Islamic Jihadist buds in the Middle East!

How could be they be unsure. They would see tarps covering the Scuds since they are loaded on their TEL or Hizbollah has them hidden in some bunker we do not know about.
