Where did Syria get chemical weapons ??

[Franticfrank]

My guess would be Syria made them probably with some help from Russia.

I'd agree with this line of thought. Look at Russia's verbal defence of the Assad regime. Maybe they really have something to hide - many weapons could have been manufactured or produced under license with the assistance of the USSR.

Depends upon the chemical composition. The same applies to Biological. In addition storage temperature is another determining factor. Several people believe those responsible for Iraq's WMD's may have simply moved over to the highest bidder.

You're right, it does depend. I've seen reports that say as short as a few weeks and as long as a few years. But, going with the best possible scenario, that he gave them all he had the day he died, it would still be impossible for sarin to last that long.

So you're going to believe what you want to because after all it fits the liberal narrative. That BUSH was wrong about Iraq having WMD's...
It just cannot be true.

Not everything is about Bush. I don't feel the need to diserguard facts in order to help justify something that happened 10 years ago.

Keeping the precursors separate provides a shelf life of about 5 years:

Nations stockpiling sarin have tried to overcome the problem of its short shelf life in three ways. One way is to lengthen the shelf life of unitary (pure) sarin by increasing the purity of the precursor and intermediate chemicals and refining the production process. Another way to increase shelf life is by incorporating a stabilizer chemical. Initially used was tributylamine, but later this was replaced by diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), which allowed for sarin to be stored in aluminum casings. Finally, stockpiling of sarin can be improved by developing binary chemical weapons, where the two precursor chemicals are stored separately in the same shell, and mixed to form the agent immediately before or when the shell is in flight. This approach has the dual benefit of making the issue of shelf life irrelevant and greatly increasing the safety of sarin munitions. However, experts do not put the shelf life of this type of weapon past 5 years.

The invasion of Iraq was nearly 10 years ago, people.

which is plenty of time to allow them to make more once they know the chemical makeup .

Any fool can make a chemical weapon.

Maybe we should ban chemicals, too??

You just gave yourself away by projecting.

First, it is being proposed that Syria must have gotten their existing WMDs from Saddam Husseain.

When that proposition is not only doubted, but proven false beyond a doubt, you come along and basically admit the reason this claim was made in the first place was to prove Hussein had WMDs!


So this is not an attempt to seek the truth of where Syria actually got their WMDs. No. There is an obvious agenda behind it.


You don't really want to know where Syria got them from if they did not come from Hussein. You are not the slightest bit interested in the truth.

After this manufactured bullshit is destroyed, not one of you has ever said, "Gee, I wonder where they DID come from then?" Instead, you run off with your tails between your legs, wait a suitable number of weeks, then start the same bullshit all over again!

So ******* transparent, the lot of you.

If Syria's chemical weapons came from Iraq, who enabled Iraq to have chemical weapons?

Not the issue. Stop deflecting.
Look, if you think the USA is to blame for all the problems in the world then obviously you don't liek it here very much. So here's a suggestion. GET THE **** OUT.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Because like most of your questions, it's retarded.

Where did Syria get Chemical weapons? They made them.

We are talking about the cutting edge weapon of 1914 here, guy. Any fool can make a chemical weapon.

and if you people think that iraq didn't have chems you are insane.

Iraq did have chemical weapons! no doubt about it.

Husein used CW's on the Kurds. Killed over one million.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Why isn't this question being asked??Where Did Syria?s Chemical Weapons Come From?

You can't get information from right-wing rags. Those chemical and even biological weapons are not that hard to make. There is a big damned desert between Iraq and Syria. There is one road through that desert to a border town that fell early in the Iraq War. It's absurd to play that Bush bullshit game that the WMD was moved to Syria. Cheney cooked the intelligence by using reports of raw intelligence that weren't confirmed. It's possible they even generated those intelligence reports. The CIA didn't sign off on the idea that Iraq had WMD, but that didn't stop Cheney. You idiots need to stop lying and realize the world knows they attacked Iraq without good cause. Once they got their hands on Saddam and no WMD, they should have withdrawn from Iraq to that neutral zone between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. They could always come back and kick their asses again, until they get it right.

That WMD in Iraq and the present "WMD" in Syria isn't uncommon for a country to have or manufacture. It would be uncommon for a country of any size or development to not have such weapons. Germany had plenty of those weapons, but didn't use them out of fear of retaliation. Some were destroyed after WWII in Huntsville, Alabama and hugh amounts were dumped into the Gulf of Mexico along with unexploded ordinance. It's something you have to watch out for when drilling for oil and gas in the Gulf.

Why do fools continue to post this crap and look for a fool to buy it? You need to stop looking for fools, you have them all.

However it is just fine to use LEFT WING Rags....LOL!

 

[g5000]

See?

None of you are actually interested in where Syria got their chemical weapons. Look at how this is turning into whether or not Hussein had WMDs.

So if you aren't really interested in the truth, then how can you trust what the voices in your head are telling you, including about Hussein's WMDs?


You can't even be honest with yourselves. You believe what you want to believe, and do not seek the truth.

In the 80s. That is not evidence he had WMDs 15 years later in 2003.

What difference does it make?

 

[g5000]

Let's stay on topic.

Since it is virtually impossible Syria got its chemical weapons from Saddam Hussein, then where did they get them? What is most likely to be TRUE about where the chemical weapons originated?

 

[Bigfoot]

Most of the Intelligence Agency s around the world agreed that Iraq had WMDs. Some were also found in Iraq. But when it fits somebodies agenda that they want to blame President Bush rather then admit the truth of the matter this is what we get. ~shrug~

Yeah, let's blame the West.

I think Iran or Egypt are most likely. Or within Syria itself.

that's where most of the precursors are from.

 

[uscitizen]

Umm we the USA have a few chemical weapons bunkers. ONe hjere in central KY with decades old chemical weapons stored in them.

Also some chemical weapons are pretty easy to make.
They were used in WW1.

Evidence?

Germany, Holland (which is part of the Netherlands), Austria, Switzerland, Russian, and France are all signatories of the OPCW. It would be a violation of the chemical weapons convention to manufacture and sell the precursors.

Iran is also a signatory of the OPCW.

Angola, Eypt, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria are the only countries that are not.
