Subject: RE: Syrian Civil War has gone chemicalIndeed ugly... There were a number of reports that Saddam had moved the chemical stockpiles into Syria in the lead up to the war. Trucks rolled across the border day and night during the 2000-2002 time frame. Chemical weapons aren't difficult to make. They are difficult to weaponize for effectiveness. As more information comes out, we may find these are the same weapons. I don't know that the rebel force will be a friend to the US. But I'm praying for Asad's forces to make the right choice when ordered to use this stuff on the civilian population. |
