the only designation I can find for a chem/bio weapon is CS(tear gas)... I cannot find a listing for OC (pepper)...
In this footage does it show Assad forces setting out chemicals? Or is it just some footage of who knows what presented as a narrative?
Perhaps we will free the shit out of Syria and let them have open elections? That worked out so well for Egypt after all.
Maybe the USA should keep its nose out of other's business?
I do carry a tiny can of pepper spray, about the size of a lipstick. I really don't like to hurt people and my martial instructors are always punishing me for that.
I figured you would carry a knife and throw it into your assailants heart from 20 feet away.

I can do that from 8 feet only, right now. It is 15 feet for the cops, and that is just based on the fastest throw reasonably encountered and the reaction time to get out of the way.
At 8 feet I can stick it and there is no time to blink. I really don't want to knife somebody, however and you would really have to corner me to get me to pull the knife out of my boot.
No spin Thorn style?

Thorn style. Makes it a bit difficult to get more distance than 8 feet. At 6 feet, right outside arms length, I'm approaching 100% and sticking to the hilt.
8 feet is better than 50/50 on a good day. I am working an online technique where the guy can thorn stick a bowie from 20 feet.

Obama pisses on fires and claims he's a firefighter. Then you come around and deep throat him before he zips up. Carry on.
The UN can attack a country? With what forces? I have never heard of UN forces ever winning a war.
I realize that we ignore the constitution when it comes to Congress being the only ones who can declare war, but now the UN is going to dictate who goes to war? I did not realize they had any authority.

The US itself has ever won a war without help. You love to go to war, you just have problems figuring out how to win one.

Well folks, we are on the way. US navel ships are being diverted to stand off the Syrian coast. It seems that our involvement in Syria is going to be sooner than later. Well, on the bright side, this should help with unemployment in the US, because as we all know, there's nothing like a good war to improve the economy. Hopefully this one will go better than Afghanistan.
Russia has major interests here and they will not allow the US to just walk in and take out Assad. Qatar has been financing the "rebels" who are almost exclusively hired contractors to remove Assad from power. Assad is Russia's puppet and Russia doesn't want Qatar LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) to end up in Europe and elsewhere competing with Russian LNG (which Europe is heavily dependent on). Meanwhile there was a hacker who hacked a large defense contractor and pulled this email back in January. The company admitted to being hacked but wouldn't verify the email of course.

This outlines a plan to use Chemical weapons and then blame Assad for it. Of course this is a common ploy that has been employed many times over if you're not ignorant to history. Lies started the Spanish War, Vietnam War, Hitler lied to justify invading foreign countries claiming they attacked first and staging the necessary events....
Also, wars - they're not really so good for the economy. They're good for one small segment of the populations pocket book and that's about it. Meanwhile people from the involved countries have to put their lives on the line for this great glory of making the already immensely and immorally wealthy even more so. They're horrible for the global economy and they're horrible for people.

What? Which Iraq? The first one is a well established load of bullshit and the second one even more so.
It was about pipelines again and of course minerals. Oh, and ensuring massive drug export. Vice did a great documentary about the youth heroin epidemic. The Taliban had almost completely halted production of opium. That was a major problem.
So you think this is a good move? Or a good move for the President politically? Politically at this point it's not at all. I saw a poll that suggested, I believe, 9% of Americans supported intervention recently.

Btw Qatar recently doubled their production ability of LNG. Only way they can justify this is if they can open up this pipeline to Europe.

Looking like France and Britain. Plus the US, AUS, POL. As usual. And Russia said very diplomatically they have no intention of trying to use their assets to block.
Russia and China abstain. Business as usual for this C & C. Obama will angle so we are not the boots if he can. It is about time.

Btw, when the Iraqi's were using Chemical Weapons, the US Government was protecting Hussein, supplying him with the weapons and KNEW EXACTLY what he was doing with them. The only reason they went to war against him is because he overplayed his hand. Hussein thought the US would protect him from anything. Hussein was completely wrong and was yet another useful idiot doing the work of powerful people who have no morals and no interest except in themselves.

Recently declassified. Not that it wasn't already apparent that this was being allowed given the lack of response to it in the 80's and the continual support offered, but this puts it down clearly in writing.
