Obama: ‘Chain of custody’ needed for Syria action

April 30, 2013

WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama said he needs to have all the facts on who used chemical weapons in Syria before taking further action.

“What we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used inside of Syria, but we don’t know how they were used, when they were used, who used them,” Obama said Tuesday at a news conference. “We don’t have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened. And when I am making decisions about America’s national security and the potential for taking additional action in response to chemical weapon use, I’ve got to make sure I’ve got the facts.”

“We don’t have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened.”

Obaka drew a red line.  Then he pulled that red line and kicked it up a few hundred thousand feet.

Syria has now mixed its military Sarin gas components:

Posted on by

Egypt is crumbling.

And now Syria is actively mixing Sarin gas components and loading chemical weapons into aerial explosive devices: artillery shells.

From WorldNewsNBC.com:

The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said. 

As recently as Tuesday, officials had said there was as yet no evidence that the process of mixing the “precursor” chemicals had begun. But Wednesday, they said their worst fears had been confirmed: The nerve agents were locked and loaded inside the bombs.

Obama decided to inject us into Libya.  Into Egypt.  Into Yemen.  And now plans to inject troops — American troops — into Syria.

Bombshells filled with chemicals can be carried by Syrian Air Force fighter-bombers, in particular Sukhoi-22/20, MiG-23 and Sukhoi-24 aircraft. In addition, some reports indicate that unguided short-range Frog-7 artillery rockets may be capable of carrying chemical payloads.

In terms of longer-range delivery systems, Syria has a few dozen SS-21 ballistic missiles with a maximum range of 72 miles; 200 Scud-Bs, with a maximum range of 180 miles; and 60 to 120 Scud-Cs, with a maximum range of 300 miles, all of which are mobile and are capable of carrying chemical weapons, according U.S. intelligence officials.

Why would the US become involved in Syrian issues?  From GlobalResearch:

ANKARA: NATO military experts have selected sites for the deployment of at least three Patriot air defense systems along Turkey’s border with Syria, local media reported on Monday.

NATO member Turkey formally requested Patriot missiles from the military alliance after weeks of talks with NATO allies about how to shore up security on its 900-kilometer (560 mile) border. Syria is believed to have several hundred surface-to-surface missiles capable of carrying chemical warheads.

And who or what would buttress those missile batteries?  That’s correct: American soldiers.

Not by the hundreds.  Potentially by the thousands.

And Leftists/Progressives have the temerity to think George Bush was a war monger?
