The liberal “there were no WMD in Iraq” crowd is being suspiciously silent right now as their chosen one, Obama, is about to launch military strikes against Syria’s Assad.
There ARE WMD in Syria and I doubt anybody would deny that but, there are some very dire questions which must be posed.
First…Where did Syria GET the WMD?
Remember…the “There were no WMD in Iraq” crown has, for a decade, jeered at the idea that WMD were moved FROM Iraq TO Syria even though there were satellite images clearly showing caravans of heavy trucks moving SOMETHING out of Iraq and across the border into Syria.
Now, chemical weapons are being USED in Syria and that brings up the 2nd dire question.
WHO is using them?
Yesterday, Obama trotted out the Vietnam war traitor, John Kerry, to tell us all that, “What is before us today is real, and it is compelling.”
Kerry stated, “Our sense of basic humanity is offended not only by this cowardly crime but also by the cynical attempt to cover it up.”
Well…
Quite a statement from the administration that successfully covered up Fast and Furious and is actively covering up Benghazi.
He went on to say the evidence was “clear” and “undeniable” that the Syrian regime had used chemical agents.
What Kerry did NOT do was tell anybody what that “CLEAR and UNDENIABLE” evidence IS.
Assad says it wasn’t him. It wasn’t his military using gas to attack anyone and called it “absurd” that chemical weapons would be used by his regime when his military was active in the area OF the attacks.
“Would any state use chemical or any other weapons of mass destruction in a place where its own forces are concentrated? That would go against elementary logic.”
Here is yet another dire question.
IF Assad was the one USING the chemical weapons, why then, would he allow U.N. inspectors to access the areas where the attacks took place?
And…Given the fact that Assad DID allow those inspectors in yesterday…WHO exactly fired UPON those inspectors?
The suburb of Damascus where the chemical attacks took place is a suburb held by the Syrian “rebels.” As it is held BY the “rebels” and as Assad says the attacks were NOT done by his military…Why would ASSAD have HIS snipers trying to deter the inspectors if, indeed, those inspectors could CLEAR him?
If ASSAD did the attack…HE wouldn’t allow inspectors in to begin with.
And then, there’s this...posted by WND this morning.
Those aren’t Assad’s military.
THOSE are Syrian “rebels” and that hand-made blue canister is NOT what would normally be launched from that artillery piece.
THAT is, most likely, a CHEMICAL mortar. Most likely, SARIN gas.
THAT seems UNDENIABLE and THAT seems CLEAR.
More so that the complete lack of ANY evidence provided yesterday by John Kerry.
Think about it.
Obama wants Assad OUT just like he wanted Gaddafi OUT and Mubarak OUT.
Gaddafi was replaced in Libya by al Qaeda.
Mubarak was replaced in Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood.
And, who exactly are the Syrian “REBELS???”
Al Qaeda and Ansar al-Sharia.
This chemical WMD attack is the provocation Obama needed to launch military attacks against Assad to assist the Syrian “rebels” in their quest to OUST Assad from power and replace him.
1 year ago, the effort to transfer weapons from Libya to Syrian “rebels” fell apart in Benghazi and who was the go-between in that failed gun running scheme?
Turkey.
Who is one of the key players in mounting international outrage against Assad following last week’s WMD attacks in Syria?
TURKEY.
Who ELSE is a major player in the coalition against Assad?
Saudi Arabia.
Here is a list of a few Saudi members of al Qaeda.
Badr Saud Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
Khalid Salim Uwaid Al-Lahibi Al-Harbi
Raed Abdullah Salem Al-Thahiri Al-Harbi
Abdullah Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Harbi (leader)
Fayez Ghuneim Humeid Al-Hijri Al-Harbi
Source: http://aalhameed1.net/vb/showthread.php?t=1565
And a handful currently residing in Gitmo:
Salim Salman Awadallah Al-Sai’di Al-Harbi
Majid Abdullah Hussein Al-Harbi
Muhammad Abdullah Saqr Al-Alawi Al-Harbi
Ghanem Abdul Rahman Ghanem Al-Harbi
Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awfi Al-Harbi
Notice what they have in common?
AL-HARBI.
Do you recall the name?
Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, the SAUDI man HOSPITALIZED and VISITED in the hospital by MICHELLE OBAMA following the BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING. Remember, he was QUICKLY cleared after initially being considered a suspect and then, QUICKLY WISKED OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND BACK TO SAUDI ARABIA!!!
Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi AND ALL THE al Qaeda Al-Harbi’s listed above ARE related.
And finally…Consider this…
The same administration that, for 3 weeks after the Benghazi attacks was blaming a You Tube video and, to this day, nearly a year later, has not gone after those responsible even though they have known their names and whereabouts for MONTHS has…After 3 days…FOUND WHAT THEY 
DEEM TO BE “CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE” EVIDENCE THAT ASSAD WAS THE ONE WHO LAUNCHED THIS CHEMICAL, WMD ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA!!!
We had SURVIVORS in Benghazi who knew EXACTLY what happened there and who was involved and this administration was blaming a YOU TUBE VIDEO?
Those Benghazi survivors are now being THREATENED and given LIE DETECTOR TESTS to make sure THEY don’t talk and this administration, WITHOUT PEOPLE ON THE GROUND in Syria has “CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE” of ASSAD launching these WMD attacks after only 3 days?????
We have a fleet of DESTROYERS armed with cruise missiles in range of hitting Syria in 3 DAYS???
We have a COALITION put together after 3 DAYS???
The international LAUGHING STOCK, Obama, has SOLIDIFIED AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION TO TAKE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST ASSAD…IN 3 DAYS?????
For a decade, liberals have chanted…”BUSH LIED AND PEOPLE DIED!!!”
Well…Who’s lying now?????

Thought provoking article, Craig. Certainly opens up a few new avenues to ponder in regards to the Chemical Weapon attacks. In my opinion we should strike at all of the known Chem/Bio sites including those of the rebels and Assads. Destroying or significantly degrading these sites will limit if not eliminate access to these weapons and therefore neither side can use them. We should then leave and not get involved in regime change. Let them sort it out.
Nobody is “siding” with Assad. That’s ridiculous! However, in this case, there is nobody to “side” with. It’s bad against worse. I think the case has been made for who used the WMD’s. So why go after the guy that didn’t??? Only one reason that I can see. Good article Craig! Keep em coming!
“Would any state use chemical or any other weapons of mass destruction in a place where its own forces are concentrated? That would go against elementary logic.”
Interesting that this red meat author would make a case supporting Assad. The lunacy of the anti-Obama right is astounding. Siding with a terrorist, mass murderer like Assad simply because Obama will soon be taking action against him. How anti-American of this Craig Anderson.
Jessica,
You sad and sorry twerp.
The quote you reference is directly from ASSAD! I do NOT side with Assad and believe the use of chemical weapons to be unsupportable however, I also am aware that Assad was not the one using them. This is NOT our fight and one we MUST stay out of altogether. YOU, it seems, support Obama and what he is about to do despite the dire and destructive consequences. How sad for you.
I remember when those trucks were moving. I could never figure why anyone would think that the WMDs simply disappeared. In that desert, anything could disappear – if someone wanted to hide it.
I also remember that the “inspectors” were hindered and barred, and rushed through.
Good article.
Watch this video if you think we should attack Syria. It’s all BS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbfcceEkn_M
