George W. Obama Threatens War over Syrian WMDs
By Daniel Greenfield
Obamas big anti-war moment that won him the backing of the left.
Where are those WMDs, the left clamored for 9 years. Well they might just be about to find out.
U.S. and allied intelligence have detected Syrian movement of chemical weapons components in recent days, a senior U.S. defence official said Monday, as the Obama administration again warned the Assad regime against using them.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Prague for meetings with Czech officials, reiterated President Barack Obamas declaration that Syrian action on chemical weapons was a red line for the United States that would prompt action.
We have made our views very clear: This is a red line for the United States, Clinton told reporters. Im not going to telegraph in any specifics what we would do in the event of credible evidence that the Assad regime has resorted to using chemical weapons against their own people. But suffice it to say, we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur.

Can you spot whats missing from the story that was and is present in every news story on Iraqi or Iranian WMDs?
1. No experts stepping forward to question the intelligence about the presence of WMD.
2. No news reports on anti-war protesters gathering to protest against a war on Syria, even though they exist.
3. No questions about whether we should route this through the United Nations

When Democrats want to go to war, its very simple. They announce that theyre going to war. Or they go to war, then say three days later that there is no war, just a No Fly Zone, as Obama did during his disastrous Libyan expedition.
President Barack Obama, in a speech at the National Defense University on Monday, pointedly warned Syrian President Bashar Assad not to use his arsenal.
Today I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his command: The world is watching, Obama said. The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable. And if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable.
