Syria has deterrent weapons, more advanced than anything in its chemical arsenal, that could blindside Israel in mere moments, Syrian President Bashar Assad claimed Thursday.
“Originally, we produced chemical weapons in the 1980s as a deterrent to Israel’s nuclear capabilities,” Assad said in an interview with the Hezbollah-affiliated, Lebanon-based Al-Akhbar newspaper, adding that “today, we have weapons that are far more important and sophisticated and that can blindside Israel in the blink of an eye.”
The Syrian president also charged that the West was not really concerned with stripping Syria of its weapons stockpile in order to safeguard the country’s civilians but, rather, that its goal was to tip the balance of power in the Middle East in Israel’s favor.
>>SNIP<<
The Syrian president went on to mock President Barack Obama as “hesitant” and “weak.” He called the US administration’s handling of the threat to attack Syria — in response to the regime’s alleged chemical attack in Damascus on August 21 that killed over 1,400 people according to US officials — an “embarrassment.”
>>SNIP<<
“We have a full Russian pledges that Russian troops will enter in any war waged against Syria,” he was quoted as saying.

As far as Assad's description of Obama and his handling of the chemical attack... he's 100% right there!
I have the feeling that the whole “chemical weapons thing” just sort of “never happened”. It’s forgotten. We’ve moved on. Will Assad surrender stockpiles? [shrug] What’s on TV?
That knife has two edges.
Completely concur... and I think that is perfectly fine with Obama as he now doesn’t have to deal with it.
This administration keep swinging from one crisis to the next. They manage it with the assistance of the corrupt MSM and then they move on as soon as they can to implement even more Marxism.
Why is Assad speaking of blindsiding Israel, when he already has his hands full with Muslim Brotherhood fanatics?
Israel is not threatening this dipsh*t The Rebels are, blindside them asshole.
> That knife has two edges.
Yep. And that one will cut deep if they decide Syria is a liability and not an asset.
The Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut never “walked this back” - he was frog-marched out of the room while the ADULT criminals were continuing their conspiracy.
Nothing to see here, folks, just move along.
No matter how the sycophants in the press and the spox people for the Halfrican want to spin it - this was NOT “brilliant and bold” on the part of The Won. The Current Regime of that territory once known as “the United States of America” has surrendered once again, pre-emptively, with not so much as a whimper.
Someone needs to remind this clown how many times Israel has kicked Syria’s ass already.
Assad told Al-Akhbar that the level of Syrian cooperation and coordination with Russia was “unprecedented” and that should a US attack on Syria occur — a possibility he did not rule out — he had Moscow’s assurances that Russian forces would be sent to back the regime.
“We have a full Russian pledges that Russian troops will enter in any war waged against Syria,” he was quoted as saying.

Bill Clinton just assured us all that Putin can be trusted to keep his word.

[shrug] What’s on TV?
Re-runs of Groundhog Day.
The Lord, eh?
You know throughout history every peoples have claimed Devine guidance and protection, and provided miracles and proofs. Always, always to their demise.
God has no chosen people. We are all his chosen.
Im still quite sure that if the US went full throttle on Assad, we would win that war between two weeks and a month. Now, the nation building aspect afterwards would be extremely messy.
EMP?
My thought exactly... and I never claimed that Israel will not suffer, but we know there are a couple of wars coming (Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38...) and that Israel will win these wars. That’s a fact!
You have no clue.
How about Assad take care of his own mess before making threats on someone else.
>How can anybody doubt
There was no good excuse for allowing millions of Jewish men, women and children to be slaughtered. There is a very good reason Israel has nuclear weapons to deter and avenge such an evil undertaking. Trust, but verify and prepare.
it sounds like he’s talking about an “EMP” weapon mounted on missiles
It didn't happen because:
1) He's full of s**t
2) He knows the consequences would be dire if he tried
