Panetta: We’ve Lost Track of Syrian Chemical Weapons

[GoneBezerk]

Uh, it isn't in our national interest for terrorists to take WMDs out of Syria.

Does Israel nuke Syria if LH unloads WMDs inside Israel? How would that help "world peace?"

Maybe terrorists use WMDs against US bases in Italy or Germany killing thousands. Not a good strategy....of national defense.

Or actually do something with the US military....

If you think it's so easy to know what's going on in Syria, why don't you go over there and find them yourself? It shouldn't take you but a day or so and then you'd be a national hero...right?

Why?

We need to quit putting our noses in everyone else's shit

I honestly do not care what either country does to the other.

We need to concentrate on our own house, for now

 

[GoneBezerk]

So islamic terrorists wouldn't use WMDs on us???

They wouldn't attack Americans in say Rome or Paris with WMDs or just go to a US base in Italy or Germany...or Turkey?

Hmmm, Turkey borders Syria.

It isn't in the national interest of the United States of America for any type of WMD material to be floating around the black market of the world.

If Obamination's people lost SA on some of Syria's WMDs then they have already failed...given what I know.

Uh, it isn't in our national interest for terrorists to take WMDs out of Syria.

Panetta: We’ve Lost Track of Syrian Chemical Weapons

The U.S. has lost track of some of Syria’s chemical weapons, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Friday, and does not know if any potentially lethal chemicals have fallen into the hands of Syrian rebels or Iranian forces inside the country.

“There has been intelligence that there have been some moves that have taken place. Where exactly that’s taken place, we don’t know.” Panetta said, in a Pentagon press briefing.
Panetta: We

Are you sure you didn't steal them to use against innocent Muslims?

 

[AceRothstein]

So what were we supposed to do? Invade Syria to confiscate these weapons?

Left? You don't keep up, do you? We've done just about everything BUT leave!

Simpletons like you believe any military action is some full scale invasion.

You idiots say it non-stop about Iran and now Syria. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were regime change actions, not specific missions to counter a specific threat.

Or actually do something with the US military....

Like what? Invade Syria?

Hezbollah got eyes for Syria's chemical weapons...

Pentagon: Need 75,000 Troops to seize Syria’s chemical stockpiles
November 15, 2012 WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has told the Obama administration that any military effort to seize Syria’s stockpiles of chemical weapons would require upward of 75,000 troops, amid increasing concern that the militant group Hezbollah has set up small training camps close to some of the chemical weapons depots, according to senior American officials.

The estimated size of the potential effort, provided to the White House by the military’s Central Command and Joint Staff, called into question whether the United States would have the resources to act quickly if it detected the movement of chemical weapons and forced President Obama, as he said in August, to “change my calculus” about inserting American forces into Syria. So far Mr. Obama has avoided direct intervention into the most brutal civil conflict to emerge from the Arab Spring uprisings, and the Pentagon assessment was seen as likely to reinforce that reluctance. The White House on Thursday declined to comment on the Defense Department’s assessment.

The Pentagon has not yet been directed to draft detailed plans of how it could carry out such a mission, according to military officials. There are also contingency plans, officials say, for securing a more limited number of the Syrian chemical weapons depots, requiring fewer troops. The discovery that Hezbollah has set up camps close to some of the depots, however, has renewed concern that as the chaos in Syria deepens, the country’s huge chemical weapons stockpiles could fall into the wrong hands. Hezbollah fighters have been training at “a limited number of these sites,” said one senior American official who has been briefed on the intelligence reports and spoke on the condition of anonymity. “But the fear these weapons could fall into the wrong hands is our greatest concern.”

So far, there is no evidence that Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon but has become increasingly active in protecting the government of President Bashar al-Assad, is making any effort to gain control over the chemical weapons. Its decision to train fighters close to the major chemical sites, some officials speculate, could be rooted in a bet that their camps will not be bombed if the West believes there is a risk of hitting the stockpiles. Mr. Assad has openly threatened to retaliate beyond his country’s borders if outside forces try to break the current stalemate to unseat him, and there is renewed concern about whether he or his proxies might use the chemical weapons as their last shield. Officials say that attacks along the borders with Turkey and Israel have forced the administration to consider the risks of Syria’s troubles spreading in the region.

Mr. Obama has been clear for more than a year that he would resist direct American intervention, but in August he said one circumstance would cause him to revisit that position. “A red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized,” he said at a news conference. “That would change my calculus.” Mr. Obama brought those concerns up again in a news conference on Wednesday, saying that the United States was in close contact with Turkey and Jordan “and obviously Israel, which is having already grave concerns as we do about, for example, movements of chemical weapons that might occur in such a chaotic atmosphere and that could have an impact not just within Syria but on the region as a whole.”

Israel will destroy any country that uses WMDs on them or any country that allows terrorists to attack Israel with WMDs.

And I bet he got all these weapons from Saddam. Since Saddam had how long before we went in ... He had plenty of time to get them to Syria and look what is happening now ..

That's twice those damn things were moved out from under our noses.
