Syrian state media did not disclose how many casualties were sustained in the latest drive by the hardline fundamentalist Sunni militants to capture the heavily defended airport located south of Deir al Zor city, whose main neighborhoods are under the militants control.

"The terrorists fired rockets carrying mustard gas," a statement said on state owned Ikhbariyah television station.

Assad never used chemical weapons on his people. We now see that.

Time’s running out for Obama to realize his dream of using his radical Muzzie pals (ISIS and others) to take the region, then Europe and then America. 9 months to go.

Putin’s threat to use tactical nukes still stands.

I think you use chemical weapons, you open the door to that kind of response. Obama gave the go signal last week too remember.

This fight is between a whole bunch of people and countries...that aint US.

If some Middle East/Syrian refugees are able to make it to a free country and ask us to take them in, then we most certainly should and would.

Everbody else can burn in hell.

Too bad Kerry didn't have the US backed Syrian "Rebels" participate in surrendering WMDs to Russia.

Musta been easier to surrender his honor.

Wait, ...I forgot he left that in Vietnam.

Kerry was a traitor to my brothers in Viet Nam. I had them die, wounded, captured and mutilated. I hate that SOB like no man I know.

Well looks like ISIS got their hands on some of the munitions that Saddam moved to Syria before we invaded Iraq.

They probably got the gas from Turkey.

How can that be? The MSM has assured us that no WMDs exist in the Middle East.
