We know for sure that the use of chemical weapons is becoming more and more common now by both sides. If they are using chemical weapons against each other you can bet that when Assad knows its all over he will fire chemical weapons missiles at Israel, go down in a blaze of glory. If we don't destroy those things ASAP there is not only the risk of Assad using them but once they fall into terrorist hands we won't be able to destroy them and all it takes is for the Al Quaida element of the rebels, Hezbollah or Hamas to get their hands on some of them and the next war against terror will involve the use of chemical weapons. There is only so long we can keep out of this and just bomb weapon convoys for Hezbollah. Obama needs to face the fact there is no diplomatic solution which he still seems to be having a hard time doing and as a result the US looks like a paper tiger and Assad just laughs at his threats.

They are all reading it but they are all convinced the way to end this is for us to give up the Golan and make peace with Syria. These idiots bury their heads in the sand because they don't want reality to spoil their fantasy that if we make enough concessions we can be singing kumbaya with Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Quaida, Iran and Assad.

doing . I don't believe them ....Obviously they never read the story of the little boy who cried wolf !
9. Chemical weapons ...

... while unpleasant, dissipate quickly. Relatively few die. Do keep in mind that Syria does have biological and neurological weapons, too. Those are game-changers. Just imagine some botulin toxin, or weaponized anthrax -- the respiratory variety -- and smallpox, set loose upon an unsuspecting world. Assad knows better than to use them against Israel. On the other hand, the United States is a great big sitting duck. In view of the blithering idiot that occupies the White House, Americans have a great deal to fear. The strongest and most influential of the Syrian "rebel" groups are Islamists backed by Al Qaeda. I doubt that Al Qaeda has forgotten bin Laden. Everyone in Syria -- Assad loyalist and rebel alike -- know quite well that introduction of such weapons into the mix against Israel will be the death knell for Syria. Everyone. Everyone in Syria also realizes that there is an ineffectual idiot in the White House who is doubtless expecting Israel to clean up his mess. Not going to happen. When respiratory anthrax is released into the Mall of America, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, or when weaponized smallpox is released in Times Square -- well, let's see what happens then. But don't expect Israel to clean up this Islamist president's mess. Hey -- he's a neighborhood organizer! Let him go out and organize some neighborhoods! He isn't good at anything else.
