Obama has admitted today that the decision to send weapons to Islamist terrorists in Syria had nothing to do with chemical weapons usage. Check out this BS in the Washington Post
The White House said the final push came this week after U.S. intelligence agencies concluded with “high certainty” that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces had used chemical weapons against the rebels.
But U.S. officials said that the determination to send weapons had been made weeks ago and that the chemical weapons finding provided fresh justification to act.

In other words, Obama had already made the decision to send weapons to Islamic terrorists weeks ago, but he needed some cover. He also forgot to mention that it was actually the rebels using the chemical weapons.
(Reuters) – U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria’s civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday

And where are the Syrians getting the sarin gas? Could it be the missing weapons on mass destruction from Iraq?
I’m a chemist. It is easy and trivial to make small quantities in university chemical labs. A “rebel” could release a few milligrams and then report the “casualties” to UN shills. Any graduate chemistry student could do this. This is not rocket science, and I doubt there is much security in Middle Eastern universities. Why would a government use small quantities that only make a person queasy, an effect that is quickly reversible with no long term effects? This is a set-up, for sure.
Chemist here too.
Aum Shinrikyo, who released sarin in the Tokyo subway, made it themselves without sophisticated equipment.
Assad was building a nuclear reactor with North Korean help until the Israelis plastered it over the desert.
Therefore he would not have ignored production of chemical agents, which are industrially much easier.
So, lets give missiles to the rebels so that they can load chemical weapons on them and shoot them into Israel,
Saint Obama LIED??? His lips must have been moving…
He was copping too much heat on the NSA global monitoring operation and needed a distraction. Supplying arms to terrorists will distract the media from the recent whistle blowers.
So will the next terrorist attack in the US! Especially if they us all those wonderful toys Skeeter is providing. Maybe they will thank him personally while he is in Africa!
Will the new amnesty bill cover these poor downtrodden freedom fighters? Obamacare? Well at least throw in an Obamaphone or two, and some ‘Forward!’ bumper stickers with all that weaponry.
Won’t cost Obama a cent. He will just use all the guns confiscated from Americans.
Very telling. They are sending “small arms” to rebels fighting a dictatorial government. The same ones he wants to prevent American citizens from having. Can you add 2 and 2?
