Don’t Play With Fire If You Don’t Want To Get Burned
Seems Syria and Iran lost a lot of people recently as they tried to mount a chemical weapon warhead onto a missile (which could then be used on Israel or Iraq of course):
Dozens of Syrian military officers and Iranian engineers were killed about two months ago in an a chemical weapons accident, Jane’s Magazine reported Monday, revealing new details on the incident which took place in a secret weapons facility.
According to the report by the British magazine, the explosion occurred early in the morning on July 26, in a factory in the city of Halab, as the officers were attempting to mount a chemical warhead with mustard gas on a Scud-C missile.
But of course, there are no WMDs in Syria or Iran – just like there were none in Iraq (after 6 months of UN babble allowed Saddam to move them someplace out of country).
The blast spread lethal chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX gas and sarin nerve gas, which are considered extremely toxic and are banned for use according to international treaties.
Only animals would tip a missile with these chemical agents. And it is animals we are dealing with. And if they have them for their warheads, what stops them from sneaking them into the US. Unlike the case for Iraq’s connections to terrorists, it is established fact Syria and Iran have deep contacts (and probably some defacto control) over al-Qaeda and Hezbollah groups. Syria is al-Qaeda’s life line to their war of atrocities in Iraq. So anyone naive to think VX or Sarin gas cannot get into the hands of al-Qaeda from Syria tops Darwin’s list of those soon to be extinct.
I find it interesting that whenever something bad happens to us, they claim that it is Allah exacting some kind of punishment on us. But we never seem to hear that kind of talk when THEY screw up.
These twerps got lucky.
You hit either Israel or United States forces with chemical weapons and the gloves will come off…and the spiked brass knuckles go on.
Because nerve agents are unquestionably weapons of mass destruction…and warrant retaliation with nuclear weapons.
Wonder what the liberals have to say about this. I guess moveon would want to know about it….
sarc/off.
WMD indeed! All over the world. And the President’s Proliferation Security Initiative that basically overran (ran over!) the Un is keeping us safe. Ha! I despise those who are trying to bring America down and that includes moveon, soros, the democrats, the terrorists…All have the same goal, imho.
Halab, Syria interresting place and very ancient. Citadel of Aleppo. Many fortunes have been won and lost here through 1000’s of years of occupation.
If true, great news. Every dead Syrian or Iranian weapons expert or terrorist is a small step towards peace. as noted SF keith Laumer once wrote, “I love peace. and there is nothing more peaceful than a
dead troublemaker.”
