Report: Syria Prepares Chemical Weapons for Potential Use in Bombs
Syria’s military has loaded chemical weapons into aerial bombs for possible use and is waiting for authorization from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, NBC News and Fox News report
NBC News has more:
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. As recently as Tuesday, officials had said there was as yet no evidence that the process of mixing the “precursor” chemicals had begun. But Wednesday, they said their worst fears had been confirmed: The nerve agents were locked and loaded inside the bombs.
[…]
U.S. officials stressed that as of now, the sarin bombs hadn’t been loaded onto planes and that Assad hadn’t issued a final order to use them. But if he does, one of the officials said, “there’s little the outside world can do to stop it.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Assad that by using chemical weapons would sign the crossing of “a red line.”
Speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, Clinton said the Syrian government was on the brink of collapse and said “an increasingly desperate Assad regime” could turn to chemical weapons.
“Ultimately, what we should be thinking about is a political transition in Syria and one that should start as soon as possible,” Clinton said. “We believe their fall is inevitable. It is just a question of how many people have to die before that occurs.”

“Sarin gas was most famously used by Saddam Hussein against the Kurdish town Halabja in 1988, which left thousands dead. The nerve agent was also used in a terrorist attack that kill 13 people in Tokyo’s subway system in 1995,” Huffington Post reports.
Syria has “60 days to use these bombs until the chemical mixture expires and has to be destroyed,” according to Fox News.

Posted on December 5, 2012 at 10:49pmThe way the Regime is putting this chemical weapon news out once again as a “red line” seems like a false flag and the UN Turkey and Saudi Arabia and US have been looking for an excuse to go into Syria. Well, they could just as well say Assad had used chemical weapons and how would anyone know different? The public never gets the truth on anything.. we pay for a government that keeps everything either a secret or a lie. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/51515

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 12:34amI’m getting sick of the way the “chosen people” controlled Marxist Media is swaying public opinion based on zero evidence. Now we Americans are suppose to prepare to go to war with Syria….for what? We are also to prepare to go to war with Iran, but I’ve noticed that’s on the back burner now. The media is colluding with the government to get everybody on board to invade Syria. Remember how we had to attack Iraq because they supposedly had a couple of grenades, but none were ever found? Now we are to rely on new propaganda from our government and Juden Marxist Media. I want to know why all these countries, including Turkey, are on board with attacking Syria? There is something more to this story as to why NATO and the US now all of a sudden want to attack Syria. I don’t trust our Juden media and I don’t trust our government saying Syria has chemical or nuclear weapons. Iran is now on the back burner and all media is focused on Syria, but they don’t really say why. Now it’s some imaginary chemical weapons and we’re all supposed to believe it. Another case of the Juden Marxist Media controlling the masses.

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 12:54amThe only thing I can figure out why this whole Syria is front and center in the media is because Syria is the last blockade for a total Islamic caliphate in the Middle East. I guess our government wants a caliphate there, so they want the current Syria regime out of the picture. I can’t tell you why the US government wants an Islamic caliphate there, but they do and our “chosen people” controlled Marxist Media is right there to spread propaganda to get all Americans on board with attacking Syria. Now we are supposed to believe Syria is going to use chemical/biological/nuclear weapons. Even if they do, it’s none of our business. There is more to this story than meets the eye.

Pakistan has the poor guy in the slammer (under horrific conditions, no doubt) because Osama Obama (to use Ted Kennedy’s term) wanted to crow about how clever America (translation in BHO-speak: “How clever Obama”) was in getting OBL.

If there were massive protests going on across America our Congress would want to use ever weapon available to our Armed Forces to destroy us too. If Secession was imminent, Obama would be ordering the USAF to start loading tactical nuclear weapons on bombers for use against the Americans who only want to be free.

Posted on December 5, 2012 at 11:26pmI’m sure our Gov is already using soft kill weapons in flu shots, food, spraying, chemicals in water, etc. etc. I love the way our gov portray’s how “good” we are and how “bad” everyone else is..omg “he’s using chemical weapons against his own people”, I hear on Fox news.
Well Look what our government is doing to us..tracking every movement we make in our life, cameras everywhere, taxing at 50% rates, lying, controlling, manipulating., etc.etc. It’s just a different kind of evil…and we’re getting there. I remember a few years back hearing on the news…”omg Europe is taxing their wealthy at 50%” “what a terrible country to live in”…well lookie here…look where we are now. I can guarantee you Obama thinks absolutely NOTHING of looking into the camera and bold faced lying to the American people…he is evil incarnate and he would do ANYTHING these other “dick”tators do. Maybe worse. I know he loves killing infants right up till the day they would be born he is for sucking their brains out thru the back of their necks. And if they do happen to live thru it-he believes in letting them lay there and suffer and die. Not much more evil than that! Yes, this country is e.v.i.l. we’re jus more “civilized” with it.

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 8:28amGiven that Saddam used chem weps on his own population (specifically the Kurds), he had them. Selling them off to Syria before Bush arrived to stomp him a new arsehole would have been perfectly sensible; gets those weps off the field and gets him some extra cash to use on his wussy army.
I’ll bet the major purchasing authorities for those Iraq-manufacture chem weps were Syria, Iran, and some of the -Stan countries north of Syria.

Posted on December 5, 2012 at 9:28pmSarin is a very nasty weapon. I used to train people about it in NBC classes for the military in Germany. It can absorb through the skin or be inhaled. If Assad is planning to use this, he isn’t interested in chasing rebels away or getting them to surrender. This stuff kills very well & without a full protection system, it is quite good at its job. If dropped in civilian areas, casualties will be high.
Isn’t it wonderful that Russia, China, & Iran all support Syria? Now you know where there true feelings are towards innocent people.

Many very good theologians believe the resurrection/rapture (1 Thes 1:10, 1 Thes 4:13-18, 1 Cor 15:50-55, Rev 3;10) will take place prior to the Psalm 83 war. We see Isaiah 17:1 being fulfilled as we speak.
Syria is the one country not mentioned in the coalition of Arab countries that take place part in the Psalm 83 war and that is because Damascus is going to be destroyed in 24 hour period
We are at the very door of the resurrection/rapture

Both in the Greek and Latin bibles the word ‘rapture’ is used and both of these are PRIOR to the English versions.
1 Thes1:10 & Rev 3:10 are conjunction verses. The rapture is a clear taught doctrine because what happens in 1 Thes 4:13-18 & 1 Cor 15:50-55 is correctly rendered RESURRECTION/RAPTURE
Christ is the 1srt fruits of the resurrection even tho He was resurrected 2000 years ago. There is a reason why the bible gives Him the distinction of being call a first fruit and that is because the harvest field is being shown in a ancient Hebraic harvest custom.
If you don’t want to believe then so be it.
Also, in the book of revelation it is shown where people go to their deaths not rejecting the news of Christ. They became believers so that is indeed a second chance but they are tested and must be willing to lose their heads for that belief

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (NIV)
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. (NIV)
