"“Given the regime's stockpiles of chemical weapons, we will continue to make it clear to Assad and those around him that the world is watching and that they will be held accountable by the international community and the United States should they make the tragic mistake of using those weapons,” US president Barack Obama warned just hours after the Pentagon cautioned Assad against using unconventional arms.

And, Israel has threatened war should long-time Assad ally Hizbullah in Lebanon obtain any of Syria's chemical weapons. The Hizbullah terror organization has a history of targeting Israeli civilians and has fought more than one destructive war with Israel.

"In the moment we see that the Syrians transfer chemical and biological weapons to Hizbullah, this is a red line for us and from our point of view it‘s a clear ‘casus belli,’" Foreigh Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, using the Latin expression justifying war."

Tsk. Stop cherry-picking evidence. Wait until the threat is imminent, and then if they use it, the US will hold them accouutable. Oh, joy!s

Chemical weapons?

Uh...what chemical weapons? I thought all that stuff was just a myth by Georgie Bush?

Borders! I thought they went out of business.

Essentially what Obama is saying here is, “Use it. I double dare ya.”

Once again, it’s another nine year old boy’s ploy being used by the “Resident”.

Probably already posted before I get this up - but WHAT CHEMICAL WEAPONS?????

You mean the ones they got from Saddam???

Old broken record here - We should have taken down Assad and the Iranian regime when we had huge armies/ air forces in Iraq. Possibly we could have controilled the aftermath then. Instead we are going to risk more crazies coming to power.

I remember a couple of things re the weapons in Iraq.

The idiot inspector said they'd never find them unless they took us to them.

The second biggie was "double use factories" that could convert operations to chem weapons on a phone call.

The third was finding the "design" for a centrifuge "under the rosebush". (The Rose is the country's flower)

I think Assad ain't gonna put any of his chem/bio weapons anywhere near a border—especially not Israel’s.

IDF commandos would capture them and reveal to the world the “Property of Saddam Hussein” stickers on them and the Left can't have that...

which means, ironically, that the threat should work on our Hussein.

Assad is sneaky...probably has them hidden in the Syrian ‘Baby Milk Plant”.

Just like Patton wanted to continue on and wipe out the Soviet Union.

You have a once-in-a-lifetime situation of men and materials in the right place, might as well use them to good effect.

But not this dink weed. God forbid that any of our enemies decide to get frisky between now and January 20.
