In public shift, Israel calls for Assad's fall

[MHunterB]

I don't understand why some seem so surprised and shocked about this declaration, everybody knows that sooner or later Assad will have to go.

Just today Obama said that it's hard to imagine the Syrian war winding down with Assad in power and that there will ultimately need to be a political transition in Syria.

Assad is stronger today then he was before the chemical weapons attack. Christians in Syria certainly support him.

The more fool they! Guess you read that BS on the 'Friends of Assad' webstain you linked to earlier...... such an obviously NON-biased source of info that is, LOL!

Syrian Christians Back Assad

WASHINGTON - Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday portrayed the current conflict in Syria as one between the government of President Bashar Al Assad, who Paul said "has protected Christians for a number of decades," and "Islamic rebels," who Paul said "have been attacking Christians" and are aligned with Al Qaeda.

Syria's chemical weapons program was built to counter Israel

(Reuters) - Syria, defeated by Israel in three wars and afraid its arch enemy had gained a nuclear arsenal, began in earnest to build a covert chemical weapons program three decades ago, aided by its neighbors, allies and European chemical wholesalers.

Damascus lacked the technology and scientific capacity to set up a program on its own, but with backing from foreign allies it amassed what is believed to be one of the deadliest stockpiles of nerve agent in the world, Western military experts said.

Nah, brave Arab dictators use chemical weapons against their own people as a last resort to to stay in power. Sadam used it against the Kurds (killing 10,000 in one usage) and other Iraqis, and now Assad.

Can anyone actually point to a US instigated regime change in the Middle East that turned out well for the United States? Just wondering as to why we continue with this losing policy.

Nah, brave Arab dictators use chemical weapons as a last resort to to stay in power. Sadam used it against the skirts and other Iraqis, and now Assad.

So why didn't Sadam use them when his power was really threatened with the US invasion?

 

[dilloduck]

Now that the world knows what Israel wants I'm sure it will fall in line.

I think Alfalfa is looking forward to becoming a Dhimmi. It is quite obvious that he is a Dhimwit at present. The word "Dhimwit" was coined for people just like he is. By the way, has anyone seen Alfalfa mention that Saudi Arabia wants to see Assad fall? I guess since their are no Jews who are involved in the Saudi government that Alfalfa doesn't pay attention to what Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are calling for.

Yes indeed--a rare moment when Israel, AIPAC and Arab gulf states all want the same thing to happen.

Because the US told him that if chemical weapons were used, we would be nuking the shit out of him. A threat he took seriously. Unlike threats made by president DUFUS Obama which are laughed at regularly.

They had already been moved to Syria.

Well, first you must define "turned out well".

But I thought Saddam never had WMDs and Bush attacked him just to defend Daddy's honor. My, my, my. Hell, everybody knew that.

I do not believe he moved chemical weapons, I believe he used up his stores of US provided chemical weapons attacking Iran and attacking his Kurdish population.

Aha! Hence the answer to the long asked question: "where are Iraq's WMD's?"

Your first correct post.

Large convoys of trucks were seen heading into Syria before the American bombing and subsequent invasion of Iraq.

Ironic, that there are rumors that Syria is now shipping the same weapons it got from Sadam, back into Iraq.

When will gullible Americans ever understand their mentality. They lie like rugs.

US Official: Iraqis told me WMD’s Were Sent to Syria
(Former head of prisons says incarcerated ex-Saddam forces disclosed move)

July 31….(WND) A former American overseer of Iraqi prisons says several dozen inmates who were members of Saddam Hussein's military and intelligence forces boasted of helping transport weapons of mass destruction to Syria and Lebanon in the three months prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Don Bordenkircher – who served two years as national director of prison and jail operations in Iraq– told WND that about 40 prisoners he spoke with "boasted of being involved in the transport of WMD warheads to Syria. A smaller number of prisoners, he said, claimed "they knew the locations of the missile hulls buried in Iraq." Some of the inmates, Bordenkircher said, "wanted to trade their information for a release from prison and were amenable to showing the locations." The prisoners were members of the Iraqi military or civilians assigned to the Iraqi military, often stationed at munitions facilities, according to Bordenkircher. He said he was told the WMDs were shipped by truck into Syria, and some ended up in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Other Iraqi military personnel, including former top Saddam associates, have made the same claim. In early 2006, Saddam's No. 2 Air Force officer, Georges Sada, told the New York Sun Iraq's WMDs were moved into Syria six weeks before the war started. A former general and friend of Saddam who defected alleged WMDs were hidden in Syria and said the regime supported al-Qaida with intelligence, finances and munitions. Ali Ibrahim Al-Tikriti, the southern regional commander for Saddam's militia in the late 1980s, said the regime had contingency plans established as far back as the 1980s in the event either Baghdad or Damascus was taken over. Saddam knew the US eventually would come for the weapons, Al-Tikriti said at the time, and had "wanted since he took power to embarrass the West, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so." So he denied they existed and made sure they were moved into hiding, the former general said. Among other claims, a former US federal agent and counter-terrorism specialist deployed to Iraq before the war said he waged a three-year, unsuccessful battle to get officials to search four sites where he believed the former Saddam regime buried weapons of mass destruction. Bordenkircher said four of the Iraqi prisoners who separately offered to speak to the "right" people about Saddam's alleged transport of WMD later became involved with US and Iraqi intelligence agencies. Some prisoners said the drivers, upon return from transporting the WMDs out of Iraq, discussed the movement. They said, according to Bordenkircher, the materials shipped out would return once Iraq got "a clean bill of health from the UN, and then the program could be kick-started easily." Four of the prisoners, civilians attached to the Iraqi military, said they worked at the al-Muthana Chemical Industries site. They said the cargo included nitrogen mustard gas warheads for Tariq I and II missiles. Bordenkircher said the stories of the military personnel and the civilians matched and did not contradict one another. Bordenkircher also said prisoners confirmed al-Qaida had a presence in Iraq before Operation Iraqi Freedom began, specifically in Mosul and Kirkuk. Iraqis under the command of Uday Hussein, one of Saddam Hussein's sons, supported the al-Qaida elements in the country with training and providing safe harbor, they said. Bordenkircher also was a senior adviser to South Vietnam's correctional system during the war in Southeast Asia, from 1967-72. His task was to improve conditions for 80,000 civilian prisoners. The US Department of Justice asked him to play a similar role in Iraq, sending him first to Baghdad's infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad in March 2006 to shut it down. Bordenkircher previously served as Marshall County sheriff of Moundsville, W.Va., and police chief and warden of the state penitentiary at Moundsville.
