Subject: RE: BS: Did CIA lunch the Sarin missile in Syria
" the US armed forces have no chemical or biological weapons in their inventory"

What credible source of information supports this conclusion? The munitions companies
did sell weapons to Hussein to prohibit Iran from gaining power. The U.S. did back Hussein for this reason.

"2: As to "Who Dunnit" - don't care - President Bashar Al-Assad has the power and the authority to rid Syria of all Chemical and Biological weapons immediately - let him do so or face the consequences should they be used again."

This is a conviction before the evidence is officially in. We don't know because we are not allowed to know. We may find out that the Rebels used chemical weapons but we can't know this, only speculate and operate in a hot-headed manner. We are dealing with propaganda here, not evidence.

"7: Obama does not have to mount a shock and awe demonstration of the US military might. He didn't have to because GWB did that in 2003 and it served to deter every potential "Rogue State" on the planet (Even got Syria's secret nuclear weapons programme destroyed)."

This is specious reasoning. The shock and awe served to mobilize Islamic extremists
in every Mid East country and has not deterred many Mid East countries including Syria,
Bahrain, Egypt and others from condemning the U.S. use of drones and wars. The so-called "rogue states" are deemed to be so by American political pundits. By the way,
with this reasoning, Israel would have to be called a "rogue state" for it's invasions and expansionist policies. GWB in fact might be credited for the rise of Islamic extremism
throughout the world.
