Yep... only now we'll be arming the Al Queda aligned rebels to take out Russia's puppet. Eveyone should think long and hard about that rock and a hard place we'll be squeezing into.
I say let Syria and the rebels work it out for themselves. The middle east was much quieter with puppets running the show. Benghazi would have never happened.
With that said: WWIII will be served up shortly, because it's the only way the Amer-Euro countries (who are ALL bankrupt) will be able to reset the world monetary system.
Where would Syria have gotten ahold of poison gas?
Everyone knows Iraq never had WMDs and they certainly didn't send them across the border to Syria.
Those were just Internet rumors.
If you can make organophosphate insecticides, you can make Sarin nerve gas one of the G-class nerve agents and originally developed by a I. G. Farben project in the 1920s for making new pesticides. It was found to be too toxic for agricultural use but its combination of broad spectrum toxicity , persistance and thermal stability made it a fine chemical weapon along with its derviatives Somin (a favorite of the Soviets) and Tabun. It is just as effective against farm livestock as people so it can be used to attack agriculture. If it is mixed with water it decomposes into nontoxic phosphates so it is usually safe to go into an area contaminated with Sarin after a good rain and you can easily deconaminate vehicles or property by washing it. Just before WW2 US companies Dow Chemical and Du Pont exchanged US patents for synthetic rubber and rayon with I.G. Farben for the G-class compounds i.e. for the rights to make Sarin and the other G-class compounds for sale in the USA. The Germans `got the better of the deal.

Nevertheless, if offered by Iraq, Syria would be happy to get some free WMDs.
Link me where anyone ever said the Boston Bombers used WMD's.
When I hear the word mass I'm thinking in the hundreds or thousands similar to what Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma City.
Boston Bombers were home grown terrorists who used Muslim extremist bomb making recipies made readily available on the internet.
I think it is an abuse of the words Weapon of mass destruction to apply it to anything but a nuclear attack on a populated target that could kill 100,000s or even ,millions of people or the use of a biological pathogen that could kill millions when it ran its course. Even a pill bottle filled with anthrax spores could merit that label because if put in the right place like a subway tunnel could kill 10s of thousands before the epidemic runs its course . Comparedto real weapons of mass destruction 9/11 was just a pinprick in the life of this nation.
