Susan Rice, Obama colleagues take heat for past claims on Syria chemical weapons purge

[BlindBoo]

if you do not know that assad got the stuff from saddam----then you are stupid. If you imagine that IRAN built bunkers into the rocky hills between Lebanon and Syria for NOTHING------then you never met an Iranian------Iranians never spend a dime
without getting FULL VALUE-------

Just how do you know that Syria got weapons from Iraq?

I kept up with the news and I was into the issue of homeland security
back then and the possible use of chemicals and biologicals on
USA cities-------that's all

In other words you aint got a phyucking clue. Even Bush finally admitted there were never any WMD's in Iraq

Wanna know how we all know you are stupid?
Saddam gassed the Kurds.

With the same chemical weapons given to him by the US and European governments. Thats really very old news

Given? Sold to Iraq not given. The US gave him 4 billion in loans (Yes he defaulted so the tax payers got stuck with that bill too). After he was kicked out of Kuwait and with all his ambitious WMD programs in shambles he never restarted his WMD programs, hell he was never able to rebuild his conventional forces either........

Everyone knew Reagan helped them with chem weapons. BUT by 2003 they were obsolete, destroyed or not workable

your post does not mean anything------what chemical weapons are "OBSOLETE" or "not working"?

Saddam's in 2003.

ok----you are entirely wrong-----not "obsolete" at all.

No workable Iraq chems were ever found in 2003- and no evidence they were moved to other countries.

So say a bunch of alt-right fake news websites and blogs.

Come back when you have evidence, not conspiracy theories.

And whether or not Assad had chemical weapons is not the issue. He didn't dare use them when Obama was President. Seems he had no fear of Donnie, and still doesn't.

But then again, no one does. Putin told him to go Fuck Himself, and China is moving their troops to do the same. Trump, the "isolationist" is just another Trump lie.

Didn't dare is stupid. Who do you think was President in 2014 and 2015?

"In August 2016, a report by the United Nations and the OPCW explicitly blamed the Syrian military of Bashar al-Assad for dropping chemical weapons (chlorine bombs) on the towns of Talmenes in April 2014 and Sarmin in March 2015 and ISIS for using sulfur mustard on the town of Marea in August 2015. Several other attacks have been alleged, reported and/or investigated."

That's right. Obama drew his red line in the sand in February, 2015, and Assad used Sarin in March, 2015. The rest of NATO went bat shit, and Putin pressured Assad to get rid of his Sarin. From that point until Trump was elected, Assad didn't dare use Sarin, but with Trump backing down on Assad must go, and telling everyone that NATO is dead, is it any wonder that Assad was emboldened to use it again.

This one is on Trump and what passes for for foreign policy in the Trump Administration.

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."

Assad used chemical weapons in 2014, 2015 and several other attacks have been alleged, reported and/or investigated as I previously posted.

Top Republicans who opposed Syria attack under Obama are now praising Trump's strike

(CNN)Many of the congressional Republicans who are praising President Donald Trump's decision to strike a Syrian airfield were opposed to President Obama's request to approve a similar action against Syria in 2013.

Trump ordered the launch of more than 50 tomahawk cruise missiles on Thursday in retaliation for Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad's reported use of chemical weapons against his own people. In August of 2013, after Assad used chemical weapons in a similar scenario against people in the Syrian city of Ghouta, Obama requested congressional permission to launch air strikes against the Assad regime.

Many Republicans opposed his request. One of the most prominent was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who on Friday tweeted out his support for Trump's strike, writing, "This was a clear signal from America that Bashar al Assad can no longer use chemical weapons against his own people with impunity."


In a speech on the Senate floor in 2013, however, McConnell announced his opposition to Obama's proposal, saying, "A vital national security risk is clearly not at play, there are just too many unanswered questions about our long-term strategy in Syria, including the fact that this proposal is utterly detached from a wider strategy to end the civil war there, and on the specific question of deterring the use of chemical weapons, the President's proposal appears to be based on a contradiction. Either we will strike targets that threaten the stability of the regime — something the President says he does not intend to do — or we will execute a strike so narrow as to be a mere demonstration."
Asked about the shift, a spokesperson for Sen. McConnell referred CNN's KFile to comments he made in a press conference Friday morning.
"Yeah, let me tell you the difference," McConnell said. "Secretary Kerry, I guess in order to reassure the left-leaning members of his own party, said it would sort be like a pinprick. You know, it really would not be of any great consequence. I don't know whether he had in mind knocking out a couple of camels or what. But this was a strike that was well-planned, well-executed, went right to the heart of the matter, which is using chemical weapons. So had I seen that kind of approach by President Obama, I'm sure I would've signed up."
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan also endorsed Trump's actions in a statement released Thursday night. "Tonight the United States responded," he said. "This action was appropriate and just."

But in 2013, he too opposed Obama's proposal to attack Syria, saying, "I believe the President's proposed military strike in Syria cannot achieve its stated objectives. In fact, I fear it will make things worse."
Sen. Marco Rubio, who called Trump's actions "the right move" in an interview with CNN on Friday, said of Obama's proposal in 2013, "While I have long argued forcefully for engagement in empowering the Syrian people, I have never supported the use of U.S. military force in the conflict. And I still don't."
He added, "I remain unconvinced that the use of force proposed here will work. The only thing that will prevent Assad from using chemical weapons in the future is for the Syrian people to remove him from power. The strike the administration wants us to approve I do not believe furthers that goal. And in fact, I believe U.S. military action of the type contemplated here might prove to be counterproductive."
A spokesperson for Rubio pointed CNN's KFile to his appearance Friday on "TODAY," where he explained what he saw as the differences between 2013 and now.

"This is not similar to 2013 for a lot of reasons," he said. "Assad was actually losing the war in '13, and if we had supported some of the elements on the ground that were not jihadists, he may have very well fallen. The Russians got involved in '15 — changed the dynamics. We also didn't have American troops in Syria in 2013 -- we do now. That gives us a national security interest as well."
Sen. Orrin Hatch approvingly tweeted of Trump's decision to attack on Thursday night, but in 2013, he said in a statement, "What is clear is that launching a few missiles will do nothing to end Syria's civil war, and is neither a real strategy to stop the deployment of chemical weapons in Syria nor a guarantee that chemical weapons won't be used in the future by the Assad regime. That is not a plan for the region.

"That's why I continue to have strong reservations about authorizing the use of force against Syria."
House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz tweeted "God Bless the USA" following news of the strikes. But in 2013, Chaffetz repeatedly issued statements declaring his opposition to attacking Syria saying he saw "no clear and present danger to the USA to justify going to war in Syria."

Some members who praised Trump's action went as far as to introduce legislation to stop military action in Syria in 2013.
