US-Syrian War Near: Obama Warns Assad Of US Military Action Over Alleged Movement Of ChemBio Weapons
President Obama on Monday threatened military action against Syria if there was evidence that the government of President Bashar al-Assad was moving its stocks of chemical or biological weapons. It was Mr. Obama’s most direct warning of American intervention in Syria, where Mr. Assad’s military is fighting an 18-month-old rebellion.
“We cannot have a situation in which chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people,” Mr. Obama said in an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room. “We have put together a range of contingency plans. We have communicated in no uncertain terms with every player in the region that that’s a red line for us.”
The president said he was deeply troubled by the possibility that the safekeeping of such weapons was now at risk in the Assad government’s increasingly harsh effort to crush the uprising. “That’s an issue that doesn’t just concern Syria,” Mr. Obama declared. “It concerns our close allies in the region, including Israel. It concerns us.” READ MORE HERE
Put up or shut up…we all know hes full of manure!
Ok so Obama says that those weapons can’t fall into the wrong hands, and if Assad’s regime has controlled them for many years so I guess that makes the rebels the wrong hands? And then the President supports the rebellion. Bring the troops home and stop the killing!!!!!!!!!!!!
