Obama administration sends CIA officers to find biological and chemical weapons in Syria

The Obama administration has sent CIA officers to Syria in order to assess the country's weapons program, a US official with access to Syrian intelligence said.

A major task for the CIA at this point, he told The Daily Beast, is to debrief defecting military officers to obtain as much information as possible regarding Syria's weapons of mass destruction.

The official said that it is also up to the intelligence agency to sort through caches of intercepted phone calls, emails and satellite images to find the exact locations of the Assad regime's chemical and biological weapons.

Syria never ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997. (Nor did Israel, Egypt Myanmar, or North Korea.)

Therefore the Axis of Evil has absolutely no idea if Syria has any chemical weapons at all, and if so, what kind. 

The “chemical weapons” bullshit is part of Axis propaganda against Syria’s government. It is especially popular with Israelis, who claim that Syria’s (supposed) chemical weapons could fall into the hands of Syrian terrorists (who are on the Israeli payroll).

The Axis issued the same chemical WMD propaganda against Qaddafi, and Saddam Hussein. It's all designed to maintain mass support for imperialist aggression by the One Percent and their servants.

We now have commentators claiming that Iraq's mythical WMDs were sprited out of Iraq at the start of Gulf War II and into Syria. As if that makes the original specious claims any more credible.

These people think the masses should just believe that's what nations do with their lethal weaponry at the outset of a war.... they get rid of them and they never, ever use these weapons against the invading armies.

Claims such as these push the credibiliy of those making them to breaking point.
