Syria and Chemical Weapons

In reference to this news story, we need to be clear that, if trained by US, or NATO, the rebels absolutely DO have both access to chemical weapons, and the skill to use them.  Since Syria is claiming the rebels launched the missiles, this would not even be a false flag operation.  I discussed all this at length, roughly in December.

What seems to have happened is that Libyan arms, including chemical weapons, were covertly transported to Turkey, and then to Syria, after weapons training by Western agents. 

Given that at least half of the “rebels” in Syria openly sympathize with Al Queda, and given that Assad is not causing the United States any serious problems otherwise, the only credible reason to support the rebels is to lead to an outcome similar to what happened in Egypt: the installation of an anti-Western, Islamist government.

Given that this outcome very definitely is NOT in our interests, this policy is plainly both treasonous, and morally noxious.

Congress needs to get to the bottom of this.  People are very literally dying because of what Obama seems to be doing, and many more will in the future.  We SHOULD NOT, SHOULD NOT commit ANY troops to this conflict.  It is an abuse of our soldiers, and a waste of our money.
