In reply to the discussion: The Lies Kerry Told [View all]HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)5. No way to find and destroy CW without boots on ground.
If you bomb CW stockpiles, you release Sarin gas in the neighborhood....which is supposedly what we're trying to prevent. So a strike won't eliminate chemical weapons. And Assad has already defiantly used them (allegedly)...so he's going to do a 180? Doubtful, most likely he uses them more openly and defiantly, especially if he becomes more desparate. Probably against Israel, Turkey, and Jordan. And against US troops if they go in. We're only escalating the war with our involvement.
