Syria to use Chemical Weapons?!

Syria Could Get Really, Really Bad

Posted on 12/06/2012 at 8:07 am by Bob Cesca


NBC News:


The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people and is awaiting final orders from President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials told NBC News on Wednesday.

The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said.

This regime has displayed zero restraint, with horrific consequences. But if Assad is dumb enough to use chemical weapons, the Syrian crisis could get a lot worst.

Yeah, I’m full of good news today.

Launch of Syrian missiles and fighter-bombers would come as the Alawite End Game, pure revenge, intended to take out as many foreign command assets as possible.

The regime wouldn't waste their large but limited supply of missiles and bombs on the FSA. The following claim, therefore, is purest propaganda BS:

The Syrian military is prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people
