Syria moves chemical weapons again, motive unclear
By Barbara Starr
The Syrian regime is again moving around its stockpile of chemical weapons, leaving the United States trying to figure out what Bashar al-Assad will do next with his deadly arsenal.
CNN has learned that the U.S. intelligence community is closely watching the latest development as diplomatic efforts continue around forging a plan for al-Assad to relinquish those stockpiles to international control.
Obama administration officials at two agencies said the movement took place in recent days – since United States and Russia agreed on September 14 to a timetable for Syria to declare its chemical weapons inventory and then give them up.
“There is activity at known chemical weapons storage sites,” one official said. “What is unclear is whether they are moving them to consolidate the stockpile and then declare it, or are they moving it around to conceal it” in advance of reporting it to international inspectors.
U.S. satellites have observed truck convoys moving in and out of storage sites, but the ongoing intelligence challenge involves knowing where the trucks are headed and exactly what they are carrying, that official added.
“Call us skeptical” of Syrian intentions, the other official said.
Both asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the information.
While Syria previously moved chemical stockpiles around apparently to avoid the risk of them falling into the hands of rebels, this time the motivation is not clear.
One official confirmed the Obama administration has received specific information in recent months from Russia that the chemical weapons are secure. That assessment came from communications between Moscow and Damascus.
But the U.S. intelligence community also has continued to use satellite imagery, intercepts and human sources on the ground inside Syria to develop its own picture.
At this point, the United States has no reason to believe the weapons are not secure. But as CNN previously reported, there is also disagreement within the intelligence community about whether the United States knows the location of the entire stockpile.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I'm very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.

Hello, i think that i saw you visited my web site thus i came to “return the favor”.I am attempting to find things to improve my web site!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100 positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

On the other hand...To the Syrian people there maybe a cease fire developing be ready...remember its Syria for Syrians...but don't get your hopes up just yet...
'1. Doing nothing and letting the terrorists kill each other while eating popcorn to enjoy the spectacle of our enemies being destroyed;
or
2) Launch a full-scale invasion and subsequent occupation of Syria to prevent the entire Middle East from balkanizing with the purpose of removing Assad while preventing al-Qaeda from gaining control of an entire country, placing a check and a warning on Iran, increasing our influence in the Middle East, and above all, save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.
Which would you choose?'.... I say maybe, it will be modulation...UNDERSTAND??? Be Ready...
Demand all foreign "aid" (which only benifits over seas corporations in negotiating lucrative contracts to exploit sovereign nations natural wealth) be redirected towards American infrastructure, a 21st century power grid, modernizing communications by expanding high speed networks, advancement in achieving American energy independence, affordable high quality medical care (geared towards patient results, instead of pleasing corporate shareholders with profits), and finally the most important, employing and training American workers to compete in the modern work force and paying a livable wage. The government no longer works for you, it's time to make the government work towards a better future based on the needs of the average American and not corporate or political ambitions.
We can stop all foreign aid and watch other nations step in and take away our foreign markets, align their political loyalty with their new benefactors and be beholden to nations that do not necessarily have our best interest at heart. China is beginning to make economic inroads in Africa and South America now: Places we have ignored for years. Aside, our foreign aid $$$s wouldn't begin to fix our infrastructure needs.
China is very actively extracting resources from Africa and So. America. China gets Iraq's oil (Cheney didn't get one drop that he told us would pay for our little excursion). China also has the rights to the huge copper resources in Afghanistan! They won this after WE insisted on creating a "democratic" government who then held an auction to the copper field!
All this with one single Chinese "boot on the ground", no foreign aid (just bribes). China wins!
These weapons may be moved for various reasons. They may be moved just to keep them away from rebel hands. They may be consolidating them to prevent an unauthorized use by an ambitious field commander. Additionally, Since the chemicals in the warheads rapidly degrade, their usefulness as a WMD is limited. After a month or so in the desert the chemicals in the binary Sarin weapons (two relatively inert chemicals in an artillery shell that mix on firing) become so degraded they are useless and have to be recycled. Politically,he may be consolidating their location so he can please the Russians with their negotiations for eventual destruction of these weapons. One thing for sure, they aren't being moved to avoid US air strikes, since air strikes would just release the chemicals on the population which we are not going to do!
BTW, this is a completely true story. My ex-father in law is a Colonel in the FSB (formerly the KGB). He was actually passed over for a promotion to General because I married his daughter. He has know of Putin throughout his entire career and has personally attested to me EVERYTHING McCain has said about Putin. This is a second hand story, from a first hand account from deep inside the Russian government, the few people rarely get to experience. He never voted for Putin and never would. What most people do not realize in World Politics is that there are no "coincidences". There is no coincidence that Putin attempts to put on a power play with his "negotiated" agreement to disarm Syria of their chemical weapons and Iran now wanting to come and "play ball" with the U.S. The ONLY reason for both actions by Putin and Iran is to put on a "front" so the U.S. does not attack their friend and economical partner, Syria. They are COMPLETELY VOID OF HONESTY, GOOD WILL AND GOOD INTENTIONS as these are just stall tactics to give Syria time to win it's war and move it's chemical weapons. Time is on their side and we need to act NOW! To add to this, Putin is no different and no better than Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden, Gadafi, and all other tyrants who do nothing but kill and steal from their own people and set back the development and growth of humanity.
Us wants to help Syrian people for humanitarian reasons.. What about people in Congo, Rwanda & other African nations ???
Genocide rape and what not !!! I guess no strategic interest.
What are the citizens of those countries doing to help themselves? What is the UN doing to help them? We simply don't have the resources to be the only global police. Do you expect President Obama to put on a cape and play Superman when he can't even obtain global support against chemical weapons?
You are right, you had to say the same when you country was invading other countries to get oil, you had to say that when your government were supporting dictator to rob their resources, you remember USA how quick got involved with Libya ? Because they have oil, and now the only safe place in Libya are oil rigs but poor Syrians they have to die because they don't have any resources.
someone must be credulous dumb to believe that they will give up their strategic weapons.I think that agreement was just a bargain among USA,Russia and Iran, and yes as you can guess the loser was USA.Now Russia has the upper hand in the middle east because of coward Obama.I think USA will see the consequences in the near future.And for the American people who asks USA to be out of these things I must say that "A SUPERPOWER cant be SILENT if it wants to remain SUPERPOWER " unless there is no difference between Afghanistan and USA.
I completely disagree! What Obama accomplished was to get Russia to take responsibility for their errant child! Same as he did with China and North Korea! Decades of "talks" and free gifts from America did nothing to calm down NK! When China was told to "fix" this or suffer economic consequences, NK suddenly stopped all belligerent talk and actions! Yea! NK even reopened their joint manufacturing facility! Next step is to reopen their huge tourist hotel that has been sitting empty!
Today, solving problems is not about brute force and being the "world's policeman". This has accomplished nothing!
Remember Vietnam? All of our tremendous efforts and lost lives accomplished nothing. When we finally "gave up" and came home, the Vietnam economy recovered very quickly! Today, Vietnam is a trading partner with us!
you have forgotten one another thing that the NK gov has opened recently, they restarted their suspended nuclear planet a gift for passive america.
And about Vietnam war .It's completely because of that war the we don't have another North Korea like country there.
ismail,
I tried to continue our discussion, but CNN won't publish my reply!
Obama and Kerry have turned Americas foreign policy into nothing more than just spectators. Assad is flipping off both of them and they are just standing there with their mouths open.
Nonsense. Assad went belly up when Obama threatened the use of force.
@ get real
Yes you are right, Obama threatened and Putin told him ""shut the pie whole""
How is Obama a coward, when he was the one who stood up and defended international laws against the use of chemical weapons? The cowards were those who failed to support his efforts.
Syria is not afraid of Obama, they have Putin to protect them and thats what he did. The world is not afraid of Obama they are afraid of action. Obama is all talk, and they know that now.
You want an other friggin war? Go for it. Don't look at Obama, congress wouldn't even approve a limited air strike, let alone a full blown invasion. Owning Syria is not a goal I support.
It's not about Obama being a coward, it's about him putting himself into a corner where he had to save face. His arrogance got in the way and other countries weren't buying it. Now the Dems are putting a new spin on it hoping things turn out to make America look tough again with Obamas renewed war cry "we'll keep pressure on them". Another thing, I have never heard Obama sound so up beat and relieved as when Putin stepped in with his new slant to the problem and renewed hope for Obama. Obama lagged from the start and through a series of events caused his own problem.
Probably signs of confused activities.
God forbid, but any accidental detonation on or near the toxic and volatile stockpile...
Sayan.
usa and britain said we gonna strike syria the p u s s y s backed down when iran starts the genocide the jews usa and britain will back down then also or 2000 nuclear armed icbms will reduce there mothers to dust.
Saeed you continue to surprise me with all the new material and thought you put into your posts. If we were to go back two years the same dribble would be coming out of that pie hole of yours. Get up to speed you nitwit, find some new stuff, that will shock everyone. Like say – you love your little rubber ducky. Then you can say – That you are going to nuke your rubber ducky. Maybe you could admit that your really a big fan of the Dali Lama, and not really a war mongering carpet riding prince of darkness. Maybe your a fan of Bambi and Old Yeller, in case your wondering Blue is a wonderful color.
Meh. Syria should just ship those chemweps back to Iraq, where they came from.
yes finally the people who were claiming for the Iraq's chem weapon can find out why the army couldn't find them in Iraq.They have carried to Syria by Russia and Iran to :1st blame the USA and it's allies as a fake 2nd:preserve these weapons in the area to support Iran
In G8
Obama: ( raised his hand) excuse me Mr Putin, I need to use washroom
Putin: how many times I have to tell you "do not drink so much"
Obama : it's not about drinking I just get too nervous when I'm in your presence sir
Putin: ok kid you are excused , do it quick or even do not bother to come back
Correct! 100/100
Gee Max your really funny, you know like funny ha ha.
How long have you been working for the fsb. I mean an American wouldn't go out of his way to make the leader of his country, the most powerful one on the planet, look like a fool. Especially the little man with an inferiority complex. A man who rules his country with complete disregard for the rights of his citizens, a man who is so afraid of a girl band, he locks them up. A man who takes his citizens and puts them in prison because they disagree with his politics. A man who supports a mass murderer in Assad. This is the man you hold above your president. Simple little mind you have there Max. Seeing as he is going to try and continue to rule like a dictator for a fourth term, you should maybe go out and campaign with him.
My comment is not in support of putin, ,, in my opinion putin is the most disgusting ( I can not even call him person) creature on the planet ,, what is sad is the fact that Obama is such poor president and is so hesitant in foreign policy gives people like putin upper hand,,, by the way I'm not american and Obama is not my president although I love Americans and I believe the deserve to have a more powerful president one that can make right decisions without hesitation
Assad said some of the exact things that Gadaffie said before he got roled...
Assad is a monster...he has not done a 180 so he will get rolled...
Sorry but we can not trust that these reports hold any accuracy. You could see it in Kerry's eyes the first time he got up there screaming about chemical weapons and bombing their country...he had already made up his mind and that we will go no matter what the lie he must tell.
Russia is the main terrorist ... why is it not monitoring this , they are basically supporting Syria this is really sad .
Agree and the right wing conservatives in congress are doing a great job supporting Putin and congratulating on a great proposal.
I think either you learnt right wing today or you had too much beer and wings today ,, you use right wing in all your lame comments
Russia and America are the main terrorists. The former side backs Hezbollah, while America backs al-Qaeda in this conflict. It's a shame that people are deciding to choose between the lesser of two evils, when they're in fact still choosing evil. How about choosing GOOD? We can choose GOOD by either:
1) Doing nothing and letting the terrorists kill each other while eating popcorn to enjoy the spectacle of our enemies being destroyed;
or
2) Launch a full-scale invasion and subsequent occupation of Syria to prevent the entire Middle East from "balkanizing" with the purpose of removing Assad while preventing al-Qaeda from gaining control of an entire country, placing a check and a warning on Iran, increasing our influence in the Middle East, and above all, save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.
Which would you choose?
The US just recently put another sattilite up in space. I figured they had good reason for doing so. Now I know. Neither Assad not Putin can be trusted. We've known that for a long time. Putin should get his nose out of our business; otherwise, he may find himself without a nose. I wouldn't give the president a hard time; just leave him alone to do his thing. Remember Bob Gates, his first Secty. of Defense? He said he enjoyed working with Pres. Obama because he gave so much careful thought regarding his decisions. I am glad there is at least one Republican out there who doesn't hate Obama because he doesn't have an "R" beside his name.
Thank you Puddin, great comment.
The problem is, We (The US) stuck our nose in *Putin's* business. Personally, we (The US) should stop sticking our noses where they do not belong, or even wanted.
The world is not the Empire of America.
Obama: hey Sasha if you don't do your homework you will be grounded
Sasha: dad , this time before you set a red line please get permission from Putin
Right Wing Conservatives: Hey Putin, we are going to stop Obama from striking by not passing any bills in congress.
Putin: You are doing a great job destroying America. Keep up the good work, Tea Party.
They are hiding them.
At least she is more of a man than Obama. I'm sure she has bigger balls than Obama
At least she is better than any thing the right wing conservatives have to offer.
At least Obama saved the country from a great depression. Have you checked your 401k lately.
@Lionel
As long as you are happy with least and you start you comment about Obama with "at least" you chose a right president, at least he is not vegetable.
People will find out soon enough and it isnt going to be fun.
Hillary? What did she ever do for us? NOTHING! She spent her term as Sec. of State traveling all over the world on her government paid "mileage awards"! Her bungled "reset button" with Russia went nowhere, she never invested any time or effort working with the Russians. Benghazi? Not entirely her fault, but again too busy traveling to keep up with her duties. No vote here for Hillary! She doesn't have what it takes!
This is funny! Just a short time ago everybody was posting how Obama is so wrong in wanting to to strike Syria. Then after things cool off and Syria starts playing games, the posters now claim Obama has no balls. So then Obama was a bad guy for wanting to strike, now he is the bad guy for not going through with it. Obama is so unpopular that any decision will be the wrong one.
Our tax money is paying for these politicians, CIA, FBI, etc... I just wish whatever decision they make they should be take responsible and accountable for their action. Stop playing a blame game. We already lossed alot of money over the iraq war and same concept in Bush admin. Any of them taking any responsible for those kids we send oversea to die for our freedom and oils. Just pathetic. the higher position you're the more price you have to pay if you're guessing wrong. Bottom line do you think our goverment ability to doing the right thing ?
Putin is not a U.S. friend. Don't forget what he did in the NSA leak. case Snowden. we can't trust him.
U.S. Officials were going to get Getstapo on Snowden.
In this case, the NSA, Obama, and those others involved did *wrong*
Snowden, while maybe not quite a hero, is a solid whistleblower who did the right thing, where our administration did not.
Whomever decided to defund and deactivate the SR71 can share some blame. Satellites just arent maneuvered quickly enough to catch deception.
SR71 not needed anymore, drones can see everything needed in these little countries.
Lol, as if placing many over the middle east hasn't been done for the last 40 years!
These talks will be as productive as the Paris peace talks during Vietnam. We want a round table, no, wait – an oval – no that one's too small, okay square, no rectangular, but only if we sit on the long side....blah blah blah bang bang bang.
I'm not a senior military analyst or anything, just a former naval flight officer. But, if it's going to get shot out of an artillery tube or a rocket launcher, it probably looks like the HE versions sitting right next to it.. We couldn't track down Scud missiles on tractor-trailer sized erector launchers in 1991, and we aren't going to find little crates of chem rounds without boots on the ground, which all parties agree is not going to happen.
It looks like Obama is sitting aside watching Putin making decision for USA,, Obama is the weakest commander in chief ever, unfortunately his poor leadership in US effect whole world. I'm even think when he wake up in the morning he is hesitant if he want scrambled eggs or boiled one for breakfast
@MAX....stop acting like an idiot and say something constructive...or go back to FAUXNEWS.
@SLEEPY Mike
Remember your passive president and your hippy liberal style of thinking will have devastating consequences for the world in future, you don't know me I don't read Fox News (although I believe liberals like you and Fox News are opposite ends of extremism ) and for your info I'm not American but unfortunately the lame decisions of your president is effecting the whole world,, remember no matter how dumb you are Assad and other terrorists still hate you and if you don't defeat them there they will bring the war to you,,
Why is it that whenever people have a difference of opinion on these boards the first reaction is to attack. It seems to me a bit ironic that most would criticize an attack on a country that has committed heinous crimes against their own people, yet will not hesitate to assassinate the character of someone who simply expresses an opposing viewpoint. As far as I am concerned, if you act in such a way you are no different than the politicians who have created the instability that grips our country and the globe. Adams and Jefferson would be ashamed.
Funny how right wing folks attack Obama for wanting to strike Syria and are now turning around and attacking him for trying to resolve this peacefully. Americans will forever remember how the racist right wings attack our president. Let's vote them out in 2014 and then elect Hillary in 2016.
@Lionel
Yes everybody hurry up vote for liberals , after all the only concern Lionel has is to smoke pot freely and marrying his gay lover,, forget about the rest, who care Assad is killing innocent people
@Max – Sounds to me like you wish that you also had the freedom to smoke pot and marry your gay lover.
@get real
I see you are trying to get real one, for now have fun with fake one
No, you are very wrong! Obama's decisions brought Russia to get involved and try to find some solution other than yet another war for us to fight in the Middle East! We don't want another war, Russia doesn't want another war. Had Obama played "cowboy" like GWB, we would have another war. Military action (by remote control) cannot and will not solve this problem. Any military attack would surely have to be followed up with "boots on the ground", no way to avoid this! War is war, there is no such thing as a "limited engagement" that actually solves anything. Already we are talking about sending American troops over there to advise and train the rebels. Isn't this "boots on the ground"? This is exactly what happened before! Start with advisers and trainers, then get caught up in a war we don't need!
Thank you Stan. Finally a some with reason. @Max needs to learn a thing from this.
Actually, the treat of a strike brought the Russians to the bargaining table.
It is the dumb conservatives who are sitting on their ass attacking the administration.
Lionel : let's vote for liberals after all the only thing I care for is smoking pot and getting married with my gay lover
Glad to see someone else is paying attention. Obama threatened military action and Assad went belly up. Kerry revealed a carrot. Putin and Assad jumped at the opportunity to avoid a Syrian collapse. Meanwhile, our own right wing nut jobs do nothing but complain, just when our POTUS needs our support.
Single handed, Obama personally went to other world leaders, the UN, and Congress for support in enforcing International Laws, but they let him down.
He made every effort to defend innocent victims of senseless genocide. He stood up for humanity. Nearly everyone else opposed him. But, that makes him neither weak nor wrong.
At some point and would be soon......could put the UN on hold......."lock and load"........they are up to something......don't take no wooden pickles Americans......
THE REAL THREAT IS IRAN
The real threat is right wing conservatives in American. They are the American Tealiban.
This dumb administration is relying on Russians ,,, wake up Obama,,
Dumb conservatives are attacking everything the president tries.
Dammed if you and dammed if you don't. Let's get rid of these nut jobs.
We have all seen this game before, and we all know how it's going to end.

“There is activity at known chemical weapons storage sites,” one official said. “What is unclear is whether they are moving them to consolidate the stockpile and then declare it, or are they moving it around to conceal it” in advance of reporting it to international inspectors.
DUH....AND WHICH ONE DO YOU SUPPOSE?
They are just moving the Iraqi WMD's around.,.
the reason is crystal clear.....they are tryng to conceal them before declaration date..... but guess what, syria? if you don't give them up, there will be a military strike, you can count on it.
there will be no strike on syria. remember, putins enemies in syria are the same as ours. assad is no friend either but he is the lesser of 2 evils in syria.
Russia said it was the rebels who used sarin and Syria said they'd welcome the return of the weapons inspectors. I bet the Assad regime (perhaps with Russian help) is moving the chemical weapons into locations where they can blame its use on opposition groups.
When Assad is gone we can all talk...or not...
No Olyimpics in Russia
Assad you have blown up your own BS...
Obviously they are moving it away from Al Queda so that they don't steal it and use it on peaceful population.
How naive.
Oh, right. Al Qaeda is preparing inspection teams at the moment.
Oh, right. A "peaceful population." I wondered why it has been so quiet in Syria the past 2.5 years.
You are eigther in denial or dumb in both scenarios I bet you love Obama
I bet you love Rush, Hannity, Glen Beck and that other nut job Karl. Go back to Faux News.
Oh yeah, Fox do not allow comments to be posted, how democratic.
Our 'allies' don't listen.
This is where the gihadi's are winning. They can turn the war on and off. When it is inconvenient they just stop.
The fighting from our 'allies' is inconvenient. Clearly for this to end well they have to stop and stay alive for the next period of time. The bottom line that they need to know is there is more support for boots on the ground than arming them and by proxy alqaeda . The reality is they are building an islamic army. As I have said all along which ever side wins , it will place terrorist in control. More important it gives them access to children.
The confusing part is why russia tolerates it. Before this is done we and russia will end up allies again im near positive.
Animate a map, of the world, showing if it is under islamic control or not. Do it from 1975 – present. They are raising an empirical army. Everything we have done so far has enabled them to do it more easily and more quickly. 2000 – present in the animation. Notice the focus of influence in countries with large birth rates? Africa, ME, Latin america etc.
This is so frustrating. How can no one seem to see what is happening.
This is none sense ..why they keep move it around if they new nspector coming..this guy assad and russia no what they doing ..and unite state play in the devil game...sample they will hide as much they can and live the emty place for the inspectors....remenber people putin as invest in syria ..next time they will said they never had those kind of weapon...all of you want diplomatcy now your been play by the devil....those guys we cant trust them not even close....
Saddam moved his WMD all over the country and then out of the country, letting the UN team cool their heels all the time. Then he let them "inspect" the emptied site.
Assad is doing,and will continue to do, the same thing. We are fools to think otherwise.
Gosh, that's the same pap passed on about Iraq. Sound deceitfully familiar? BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Tunnels under the sand.....BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Mysterious chemical weapons (think WMDs) with no trace or whiff....BWA HA HA HA HA HA. Give me a break!!!!
you do realize that this situation is not even remotely comparable to Iraq correct? Assad even admitted to having WMD in the form of chemical weapons. You think that agreeing to give them up to the Russians is a honest move, or more of a move to buy time? You're comparing apples and Oranges, Syria is NOT Iraq on so mnay fundamental levels regardless of your opinion on the past, present or future actions of the world.
It'd be funny if one of the chemical weapons sites blew up and killed Assad.
.
"U.S. satellites have observed truck convoys moving in and out of storage sites, but the ongoing intelligence challenge involves knowing where the trucks are headed and exactly what they are carrying, that official added." Wow, This sounds familiar. I remember some drawings of 'mobile chemical weapons' trucks, supposedly in Iraq, captured by sattelite, that were....wait for it......completely and totally fabricated. I guess our government thinks our long term memory is gone.
The Iraqi 'chemical weapons trucks' that you are referring to were mobile labs, not trucks simply transporting chemical weapons from one location to another.
Saddam's biochem weapons went to Syria, and that was known contemporaneously. The mobile labs were for biological weapons.
What's with again, the first "report" from the Syrian "rebels" was proven to be false.
WHAT IS THAT BULGE IN Mr AL ASSAD'S POCKET ? IS IT OBO'S BALLS ?
LOL!!!
They're getting them ready for the BOGO sale this Saturday.
why dont yopyy slip into something more comfortable, like a coma
No, you first.
no news -- the opposition has been saying that for weeks. They claim that they are being move into Lebanon. However if that were true then the IDF would probably be flying more sorties.
Bomb them now!
Then what? Do you have money to pay for it?
Pay for what? Lob some cruise missiles at their convoys and weapons sites. We have the missiles aboard the ships in the region now, use them.
those weapons are already bought and paid for. they have just been sitting around waiting for a target.
You do realize it costs money to replace those missiles, right? Or are you really that uneducated
dont nickel and dime the syrians here, it keeps states employed anyway. you need to make better iphone to pay for it! Dont loose to the Koreans, like you we lost to the Russians!
Both asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the information
And another anonymous and well informed official told that he saw Mc Cain in one of those trucks.
with his yellow teeth shimmering in the desert sun
i could say nice things about you but id rather trll the truth
This is just BS coming from Kerry to incite an excuse to start a war. Syria in no way would do anything stupid under Russias eyes. They are probably consolidating the stock or taking it out of reach from Rebels who are paid of by US for trying to attack the government.
It's sad we are all responsible in some way. This issue is too conflicting for me, those poor kids but if we didnt provide weapons to the rebels the regime wouldnt have stepped up their game and killed 1400 people
Or Kerry will try to go plant a couple of chemical weapons with his swift boat to give them an excuse to launch a few cruise missiles.
Right – Syria would never do anything stupid.............
Where have you been the last few years?
I don't like Putin, Something is fishy about that man
Shirtless horse riding?
Huh?
I don,t see him fabricating LIES to go murder half a million Iraqis for Oil,so I doubt he,s the one with credibility issues.
JOSH P – you are pathetic. if you aren't gay, then you must be from the Occupy Wall Street movement...
You got that right! Putin himself cannot be trusted and I would not believe any word that guy says!
According to Assad, he has not signed any deal. just yesterday he said he will give the CW to the USA if they came up with 1 billion dollars. In other words, he thinks he can sell 1 billion dollars of CW .
anyone said we are at square 1? not even.
If that's the case, Assad is asking for a refund – oh, I bet you didn't know that we sold them the ingredients to make the chemical weapons in the first place.
propaganda
shut up cnn and kiss my a** delete this mother f******
Get use to it. Cnn only appreciates users who share the same ideas and opinions as them. everyone else is taboo it seems. Its a way they work use up for there own properganda
@ John Wise
What you said
I disagree with them a lot and my posts go up. Saying racist things or using obscene language are the ways to have your posts sent to a mod.
@Lawless4U, at least this time they have a reason to delete something 🙂
I am beginning to think it is a plan to get a full fledged war going with us in the middle.Kerry has been hornswoggled by Putin.
This administration is hornswoggled by everything and everyone.
Duh! They didn't think that was a possibility!
Eagle says "They didn't think that was a possibility."
Of course they did. The intelligence community has been talking about that for months.
Reblogged this on World Chaos News.
Soooooooooo. IF Russia knows that Chemical Weapons have been "secure" for the past several months? Then they also know that no "weapons" have fallen into the hands of the opposition?? I don't get it, Russia, just essentially verified, inadvertently that the government of Syria performed the chemical weapon attack??
Id-i-0-t the ones the Rebels have,didn,t come from Syria,go read a book,even Turkey arrested a few of them with Sarin in Turkey a few months agobut I am sure you,ll ignore that fact.
You are the one who sounds like the idiot. There is only rumors that Turkey arrested people with Sarin Gas, it was not confirmed or generally believed to be accurate. There have been no confirmed evidence or proof that the opposition has any access to gas, NONE.
“What is unclear is whether they are moving them to consolidate the stockpile and then declare it, or are they moving it around to conceal it” in advance of reporting it to international inspectors.
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
You sir are an idiot... Not only does Nuclear fallout travel with the winds affecting both our enemies/allies in the area, but such a blast would also release all of the chemical agents into the air as well. Your ignorance is alarming... thanksfully you have no say in the matter
Actually, a thermonuclear device would be the ideal way to make sure absolutely no chemicals got into the environment. With proper placement of the correctly sized weapon, say one of the old 10 megaton city-killers we used to have, the chemical weapons would be totally vaporized. Of course, there would be some radioactive fallout to account for. I say nuke 'em.
Fallout, yes. Chemicals, no. Have you ever seen video of a nuclear explosion or see pictures of the aftermath?
Alarming, indeed.
