Truthfuly, WMDs do not include Chemical weapons...thats a new twist they put on it, but it wasnt so in the past....
Chemica weapons are at best very localised things....yes they can kill people, but not destroy infrastructure....
But Chem weapons have ONLY recently been included as WMDs to broaden the fear factor and to dupe the public about the threat.

All this debate over an article with no proof, who was it claiming Syria had these weapons?
a defector? of course we should trust everything someone says if it supports an adjective and refuse to hear anything that does not, looking how the article itself was written screamed propaganda
give me a break, there is no support for an attack on Syria no matter how much they pull the dictator is killing his own people card, they cant use the nuclear card so they go with old faithful, Chemical WMD's.

People like to say Bush was a liar and made the whole weapons of mass destructions in Iraq up so he could invade.

People were saying he was trying to tie 9/11 to Iraq and when he could not, he made up the weapons of mass destruction claim.

Of course there were, according to the so called "truthers", many other reason for a false flag 9/11, but this does put a ding in the Bush is a known liar, "he lied about the weapons in Iraq."

Also it vindicates Bush, because if Saddam was currently producing the weapons like Bush said, we had every right to invade Iraq.

The main thing I'm getting from this thread is the insane attempt to rewrite the history of what happened in Iraq and what Saddam's intentions were is working. Once again people prove how easy they are to manipulate; even while those alive when it happened are still around they rewrite it.
That and people don't really give a damn if Assad follows through on his threats as long as it's not in their backyard. To hell with the innocents in his part of the world, right? Hypocrisy in the extreme.

On his way out, Assad should make a run for Riyadh, and truly spread democracy in the mid-east

You are aware that Assad threatened to use them, right? He has admitted to them, right?
I happen to agree we should stay out of a civil war and I doubt we will get involved in this one. I do however think if we can take out the chemical weapons with surgical strikes we and the whole world would be stupid not to. After all it is Assad himself who is threatening to use them.
