5. Their concern is a bit too late.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.27.11)
Now how stupid is it to worry after allowing Syria to build up these weapons over the last 20 years or so? The whole world sits & watches while dictators, thugs, & crazed religious fanatics build up huge stocks of arms. Worse, how many companies in the West supplied the materials & know-how? And, here in Israel, we're certainly no better, actually, we're the stupid ones in this whole business since we're the target. What did we do as Syria built up this stock of weapons? Nothing. We sat & watched. After all, we don't want to look like the aggressor, what would the moron ''international community'' of fools think if we had preemptively removed the Assad regime? And, it's the same story all over the place, Pakistan's nukes, Hamas, Hezbollah, now in Libya where the rebels are selling arms to Gaza, Iran's nuclear program & missile delivery system, the U.S. building up Egypt's military, and on & on & on.
6. Here we go again.
Les Dugger ,   Roan Mtn. Tn   (08.27.11)
This is so predictable. Obuma is just G. Bush with a tan. The globalist's are just looking for another excuse to bomb another nation into oblivion and hand it over to muslim extremists that they can control. The US better wake up and see that muslims arent a threat to this nation, our own gov. is..But hey we gotta keep feeding the globalist agenda and watch our children starve. We deserve to fail because the lily livered American people dont want to take back our nation. I am sick of warning people and hearing what can I do? Or ohh it isnt gonna happen. Idiots, no wonder we are hated by the world. Wait a couple months till their belly starts getting empty then you can really hear them whine.
7. oh so now Syria has WMD
Daniel Baruch ,   UK   (08.27.11)

8. A History Of US intelligence services Lies.
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.27.11)
there were no WMDs in IRAQ but there is oil. There is no oil in Syria, but there are Hezbollah and Golan.
9. Not worried enough to start the fire....
Chris.B ,   Australia   (08.27.11)
by supplying the rebels with anti tank missiles and heavy machine guns what a joke. All this was planned years ago securing the realm for Israel. A Neocon pro Zionist production. The only saving grace is America's fiscal decline.Good luck!!!!
10. A message to Syria from Ehud Barak
Ehud Barak ,   El-Quds   (08.27.11)
Dear Syrian weapons-of-mass-destruction managers, please feel free to use ANY AND ALL OF YOUR WEAPONS on Israel, I promise and pledge I will do nothing, however to fool the Jews I will make many statements about a strong response. You have my solemn promise and you have seen through all the wars I have deliberately lost just whose side I'm on. Only the Jews are too stupid to realize it yet (ha ha what fools!). Love and a BIG HUG, Your, Uncle Ehud
11. Of course it's all screwed up
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
Obama did his usual meddling in a situation with which he was totally unfamiliar, not bothering to think what would happen to Syria's massive store of weaponry if & when Assad was kicked out The horse has been stolen; it’s too late to lock the door Hillary & Obama, two incompetent’s that have failed in each and every foreign policy situation they have inserted themselves into

15. WITH THE INITIAL PLAN NOT WORKING
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.27.11)
The next thing was expected..............now we are worried about the so-called weapons of mass destruction.You are bound to fail here as well.Keep on closely monitoring the situation and impair your eyesight.It is becoming a joke indeed!!
16. My response to all who doubt that Syria has WMDs
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.27.11)
To talkback nr 2: Both former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former US President George W Bush both supported the Israeli air strike deep inside Syria a couple of years ago, against a secret Syrian military installation that was dedicated to the construction of nuclear weapons. Israel easily penetrated Syrian airspace and bombed the crap out of this installation. Not very surprisingly, the Syrian regime protested. We in Israel know that Bashar Al Assad is a dictator and a scumbag, but who will replace him? He knows that Israel has deterrence. He is crazy but maybe not crazy enough to start an all out war with Israel. If Assad is overthrown, there is an impending risk that Assad's successor are hard core fanatics that will fire chemical or biological weapons against Israel. In the 1990s, Saddam Hussein fired missiles on Israel but thank God with no chemical weapons. This doesn't mean that Assad's replacement in Syria won't fire chemical weapons at Israel. To nr 9 - Chris: Zionist is not an invective - it is a word that signifies Jewish nationalism and Jewish self-determination. What's the problem with being pro-Israel and pro-Zionist? What's the problem of being a Neocon? The Neocons were right. All people want freedom - even Arabs. Just take a look at all the revolutions in the Arab world. Hopefully at least one of those revolutions will lead finally to an Arab democracy. "Securing the realm"? I think that every nation wants to live and survive - if that's what you meant. It is not more strange for Israel to "secure the realm" than it is for Australia to "secure its realm". But unlike Israel, Australia is an island with few if any enemies - and enjoying one of the largest political territories on earth, small population, sparsely populated and huge distances.
17. the western world.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   lifeland   (08.27.11)
