That's hilarious! ... Unfortunately the answer is probably "in case some uses them against us" because, as you said, the cost of being the initiator is too high. As for Syrias WMD being Iraq's ... Maybe but if we don't know, didn't find hussein's, and aren't sure if syria had their own then

Perhaps. But that article and the presentation of it now with the inclusion of the supposed WMD's from Iraq, and the timing of it, is pure propaganda. One reason that propaganda is so effective is that it contains just enough of the truth to allow those who tend toward fear to accept it as fact.

A lie? I don't remember that. Point is, it was never debunked and Russia was accused of being involved. Now it seems Russia doesn't want us to mess with Syria and they warned Syria not to use the WMD's. Could be they don't want us to find them or know where they came from. . On Tue, Jul 24, 201

Not propaganda at all. Syria is well known for having extensive chemical warfare capability. With or without the alleged weapons from Saddam, they have more than enough to devastate a nice sized portion of the Middle East. With Saddam there was a question if they existed, no matter what Bush said

Syria has been known to have chemical weapons since the 1980's when they suppressed an Moslem Brotherhood revolt in Hama with chemical weapons. Some time or other look up Hamas Rules. What is happening is typical of Syria. Hama for instance has similar massacres in 1975, 1981, 1982 1993 and 2012.
