Right. We controlled the airspace over Iraq and just watched a massive caravan of trucks drive into Syria without wondering what they were doing... That only makes sense to a loon. Well, she is a loon....... a big one. There is a squawking sound every time she posts.

"...trucks drive into Syria without wondering what they were doing." There was plenty of wondering going on. There was open discussion about it at the time. There is intelligence to support it and there is testimony from qualified experts who were there. Ultimately a chemical arsenal did come into existence in Syria. Satellite Photos Support Testimony That Iraqi WMD Went to Syria. pjmedia.com Thus I can offer my guess supported by substantial evidence. How do you explain the chemical arsenal now in Syria?

Obama's Red Line?? The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) mission said this week that evidence “lends credence to the view that toxic chemicals, most likely pulmonary irritating agents such as chlorine, have been used”. "The Obama administration has not decided what action, if any, it might take in reaction to the preliminary evidence cited by the OPCW, said the State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, on Wednesday. She said the White House would “evaluate” the final conclusions before deciding whether Syria had again crossed President Obama’s “red line” that chemical warfare is intolerable. She would not speculate about any US action that might follow." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/syria-conflict-president-assads-forces-accused-of-using-chlorine-gas-against-rebels-despite-pledges-to-give-up-chemical-weapons-9550016.html Thursday June 19, 2014 I will speculate about any action the US might follow,... Nothing beyond lip service.

Indeed, multiple news organizations reported in late May that Turkish officials — strong backers of the ongoing rebellion against the Syrian dictatorship — seized almost five pounds of the toxic gas from rebels during a raid on the Nusra front, a U.S. designated terrorist group fighting Assad. Authorities in Turkey later tried to deny the reports, but just last week, prosecutors charged Syrian rebels with trying to acquire deadly chemicals. The U.S. military document obtained by WND, meanwhile, confirmed the seizure of sarin gas from opposition fighters, reported F. Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense. Classified as “Secret/Noforn” (“Not for foreign distribution”), the document notes that the chemical weapons from al-Qaeda in Iraq went to Turkey and that even though some were confiscated, more could have been used in an attack earlier this year on civilians and Syrian troops in Aleppo. “It revealed that AQI had produced a ‘bench-scale’ form of sarin in Iraq and then transferred it to Turkey,” wrote WND’s Maloof in an article about the document, which came from the U.S. intelligence community’s National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC). “The sarin gas was found in the homes of suspected Syrian Islamic radicals detained in the southern provinces of Adana and Mersia.” thenewamerican.com
