"you are saying that ISIS did indeed overrun an old "chemical weapons depot" in Iraq" I have no idea. That was from you, originally. "So did Syria go into Iraq and take the Chemical Weapons from Iraqi soil last year?? Is that what you are attempting to say?" No; is that what you are trying to say? No, they didn't do that. Do you know why? Because the US went into Iraq to take Chemical Weapons from Iraqi soil in '03, and found them to be but a figment of Dick Cheney's imagination. Maybe also because Syria didn't go into Iraq. I haven't heard that they did. If they had, they would also have found the cupboard to be bare. Do you know why? Because they were not there, as Saddam Hussein had fulfilled his pledge to destroy them, according to a UN agreement. "Russia helped Syria get rid of them while making Obama look good" Yes. Fitting, since Russia, cleverly disguised as the USSR, helped his father accumulate them. I try to be kind to Obama. I could have said "Putin jumped in at the last moment and said, 'You can't get Congress, and they will impeach you if you bomb, but you and I agree weapons like that shouldn't be allowed, so I'll be the good cop and get the weapons', and you can say 'Thank you. I'll live with Assad, and I'll get rid of that guy in Ukraine so you can be the bad guy and take Crimea and all' ".
