I think they’re trying to remove those weapons as a threat in the event that Assad falls and AQ wins again. The Libyan Arab Spring, courtesy of Obama, released thousands and thousands of different kinds of weapons into the hands of AQ.
There were a sizable number of Republicans in the Amen Corner.
Killed US border agents from US weapons.
Murdered US Ambassador and staff troops at the hands of Clinton and Obama
Many soldiers killed inside the Afghanistan compound attack through gross incompetence.
How many killed and maimed in Boston due to Obama’s incompetence?
How many at Ft. Hood killed and maimed?
And how many others killed that have been covered up?
Boy, that Obama sure is a great community organizer!
i think they're trying to destroy them because they're liable to eventually likely to be turned on Israel no matter who wins, or even if anyone wins. Hezbollah, Al-Queda, or a desperate Assad are all equally likely to attack Israel.
And should Assad prevail, prevent their movement to Hizbollah. And prevent transfer of the delivery systems, it’s already suspected they have chem/bio weapons. For all his humanitarian failings, and despite being at war with Israel, Assad has been relatively quiet for decades, preferring to act through Lebanon. Any new government, it’s realistic to assume that could change.
