Exclusive: State Department quietly warning region on Syrian WMDs | The Cable

Quote:
Syria is believed to have a substantial chemical weapons program, which includes mustard gas and sophisticated nerve agents, such as sarin gas, as well as biological weapons. Syria has also refused IAEA requests to make available facilities that were part of its nuclear weapons program and may still be in operation.

If it's not related to a machine shop, you can believe it.

If it is related to a machine shop in any way, you will immediately realize that you cannot believe it because it is factually incorrect.

Understood?

I would be surprised if assad did not have some "illicit" weapons. probably to use on his own people. the more important question is: who's next? jordan? saudi arabia? these post wwI and wwII invented countries have reached the end of the line. the funny thing - in a gallows humor kind of way - is the u.s. and israel talking about the " threat" of iran, and the possibility of bombing/invading them. iran's the least of their worries.

Iran, per se, is really not a threat, because there are so many bases and forces set up to respond if it does something overt.

The real question is the support that it gives to various other forces and the covert stuff that it gets caught doing.

Or the stupid stuff, like stopping British ships in international waters near the Iranian line and loudly claiming that the ship "trespassed" into Iranian waters. It doesn't make any friends when it plays chicken like this.


In one sentence: everyone who does not mind his own business is partly at fault.
