WHERE DID SYRIA’S CHEMICAL WEAPONS COME FROM?
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jul 2012 | Frank Salvato

Posted on 08/26/2013 8:32:50 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

As the news stories mount regarding Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s decision to move his chemical weapons stockpile from storage to areas closer to rebel locations, there is one thing the mainstream media is not commenting on: How Syria acquired what is reported to be one of the world’s largest arsenals of bio-chemical WMD? More to the point, what they are not reporting is this: From where did the Assad regime acquire their bio-chemical WMD?

In 2006, former Iraqi general, Georges Sada, who served under Saddam Hussein before he defected, wrote a comprehensive book detailing how the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria, before the US-led action to eliminate Saddam Hussein’s WMD threat, by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed.

As reported in the New York Sun on January 26, 2006: “‘There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands,’ Mr. Sada said. ‘I am confident they were taken over.’”

“Mr. Sada’s comments come just more than a month after Israel’s top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, told the Sun that Saddam ‘transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria.’

“Democrats have made the absence of stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq a theme in their criticism of the Bush administration’s decision to go to war in 2003...

“The discovery of the weapons in Syria could alter the American political debate on the Iraq war. And even the accusations that they are there could step up international pressure on the government in Damascus.

That government, led by Bashar Assad, is already facing a UN investigation over its alleged role in the assassination of a former prime minister of Lebanon.

That can’t be. Bush lied, people died. The United Nations and the world’s intelligence agencies had it wrong. The War was for Oil. Cheney is the Devil and a War Criminal.

Did I cover everything?

"The Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria, before the US-led action"

We were informed of this way back in 2002 and the CREEPY LIBS were blowing it off as "Another lie from BUSCH in order to go to war"

And then..don’t forget..Rove in the end, years later ‘advised’ Bush to go on TV and admit it had all been some kind of mistake of intel! I never understood that...NEVER!

Now I see Rove on my TV..echoing stupid McCain...egging on yet another war for WMD and in turn, once again giving progs shelter and safety in their rhetoric.

And our dear Secretary of State ran for President telling America that Bush was lying.

Maybe it’s time to grill the Secretary of State. While they are at it they can ask for a copy of his 180.

I'd say mostly made in Syria. If Syria can manufacture pesticides and/or herbicides, they can certainly make Tabun (GA) nerve gas, which is actually an insecticide derivative.

Let’s not forget who VOTED FOR military action against Iraq.

Here’s a list of prominent names : John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, John Edwards, Diane Feinstein, Henry Waxman, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer....

Suddenly... it’s Bush lied and these dems start distancing themselves from it.

Add your favorite democrat here...

Here’s a question for you ... doesn’t Syria have their OWN capability of making and manufacturing chemical weapons?

Why would they need Saddam’s WMD’s to do that?

As Hillary would say,”What does it matter now?” Its been over a year since this started so just like Benghazi,”What does it matter?”, except to the dead kids, women and other innocents.

Notice the lack of fighting age males in all of the casualty pictures. The brotherhood gassing civilian children for the sympathy intervention.

The LAME Stream Media did everything they could to coverup "The Smoking Gun" of the first Iraq War.

That’s the connection to the Marxist thugs in this country. Nancy Pelosi and the Ayatollah have lot in common— an intolerant ideology and a contempt for human life. Infidels in either case have their heads handed to them.

It is and has been a lie from the beginning. Our government... at obama’s order... may have been in on the deception.

Short answer, they do, and they wouldn't...

No doubt why Obama suddenly wants to jump into this fray.
