Assad forces said to use poison gas in new Damascus attack
The Times of Israel ^ | Seo\ptember 12, 2013 | Asher Zeiger

Syrian rebels claim that the army of President Bashar Assad again used poison gas in an attack on rebel forces in the Damascus area Thursday, an Israel Radio report said.

The report was based on rebel sources, who said the attack took place in the Jobar neighborhood of the capital. The rebel sources said they could not tell what kind of chemical weaponry had been used, but that it was a poison gas of some kind, and was causing injuries, including breathing difficulties.

Dear American Infidels,

You promised, then got out-snookered. For that reason, the gassing will continue until you start bombing government buildings, AND that precious pipeline.

Signed,
Rebel Cannibalistic Be-heading Jihad Freaks.

Response from Washington:

Look, Putin is really killing us here, and not he’s rubbing it in with a NYT article. Any chance you guys get a-hold of one of those S-300 missles and fire it at an American ship offshore?

Thanks in advance,

The report was based on rebel sources,

Oboma told the rebels (Al Qaeda) all they had to do was use poison gas (and blame it on Assad), and oboma would send in our troops to fight on their behalf. So, they did!
Now, because oboma hasn't run to their aid like he said he would, they're going to try again.
Assad has nothing to gain by using poisonous gas. In fact, his army was winning the war. Al Qaeda has everything to gain by using poisonous gas - especially when oboma promised them he'd be there for them when they did.

Never mind what people say. Watch what they do. Actions always speak louder than words. I don't believe Assad is doing it. I think Al Qaeda is doing it, and oboma really, really, wants to get into Syria to help his boys fight against Assad. His boys are losing!

Did the boy cry wolf. The sad part will be when they gas us here, because they cannot get any of us to give a hoot about what these animals are doing to each other.

Was the WMD given to the ‘rebels’ (al Qaeda) by the UK, the CIA, or Obama’s Special Forces?

They came from Iraq (the missing WMDs). While Bush was trying to get the U.N. on board, trucks were lining up and moving out of Iraq and driving into Syria ( FR had the satellite photos of the convoys). Saddam had months to move everything out before the U.S. was allowed to move in. By the time we got into Iraq, the WMDs were long gone.

My question...if Assad is using these weapons, why do we not see pictures of hundreds of dead rebels instead of women and children?

Dear Zippy, Pelosi, democrats, Boehner, McCain, & RINOs:
cc: Assad, Putin, rebels OPEC

Knock it off.

If your friends want to start fights, just slug it out yourselves without my involvement. I don’t want to hear you bickering about who started it. You are all behaving in an unacceptable manner and you should be ashamed of yourselves. I am not going to take sides in this because all of you are wrong.

You pretend that you’re fighting over some lofty principles (red line) but really you are fighting because someone looked at you wrong (politics) and you aren’t big enough to suck it up. And yes, I know that you’ve also been fighting over who owns that pair of sneakers (oil).

I should never have left you alone with your older brother (Zippy) in charge. But you and he begged for so long and promised that you’d behave. I was always skeptical, but he convinced your mom (emotional voters) that you could be trusted to behave because he was so wise and cool, that everyone would listen to and believe (Nobel Peace Prize) his sophomoric blather (like mom did) and everything would be peachy.

We (conservatives) are on the way home now. We should be pulling into the driveway about 20:16 and walking in the door at 20:17. You’d better start cleaning up now. If I have to clean up after you when I get home, you are going to regret it. You should know better than to mess with me, but you seem to have very short memories. Don’t you remember what happened when we came home after leaving your older brother (Jimmah) in charge?

I’m sorry to say that I really don’t expect much improvement before we get home. Nothing in your track record tells me that you have an ounce of sense or are able to learn from your mistakes. Unfortunately your mom is idealistic, has a short memory, and insists on giving you another chance every now and then.

When your brother Jimmmah was making a mess of the house, we didn’t have any good way to keep tabs on him. The cell phone and home security cameras (internet) weren’t available. But we know a lot of what you’ve been up to. Sure, you’ve gotten away with a few things (coverups and scandals) while hiding in the dark corners where we can’t see you, but eventually there will be enough evidence to figure out what you did. And again, I don’t care who started it. All of you who were in on it are going to be grounded. All of you.

Sincerely,
Dad (the conservative voters of the U.S.)

This just in: Assad drops thousands of children into a giant flaming wood chipper. and then devours their souls.

Oboma has killed over 200 children himself with drone strikes, and that's just the kids.

The oboma administration is trying to use emotional propaganda. If they showed clips of Al Qaeda rebels gaging on gas, Americans would just consider it karma!
Thank goodness so far Americans aren't falling for it. Oboma has killed too many kids himself with drone strikes to show concern for kids, and his Born Alive stance on aborted babies discredits his "heartfelt concern" for the lives of the children.
It's OK for him to kill children, but no one else is allowed to "learn" from him? Is that what he's trying to tell us?

Well, in fairness to Assad, Secretariat of State Kerry and Pres--ent Screwtape DID give him a week to get rid of them.

Or two weeks. Or a month. Or whenever he finds the time in his busy schedule.

Probably tear gas if anything was used. (The way this kid is coughing - in the video at the below link) But, most likely just BS.

I predict that every source that was considered "completely credible" a couple weeks ago will now become "dubious" in the eyes of Obama and the MSM.

Putin's in charge now.

That's about all there is to it. 7 years after 9/11 the American people elected a marxist, muslim symp to the presidency.

Where is Elizabeth O'Bagy when you need her?

Before she was 'fired' (courtesy of the wayback machine):

Clearly a cover up in the making!
