Message to the Russians: we're completely comfortable bombing of your allies, specifically one playing host to one of your military bases.

Message to Iran: We're about to have you totally surrounded.

Message to Iraq: Hey, you know those rivers that are so important to you? We're about to play fast and loose with your neighbor that has chemical weapons and happens to also be the intermediary country for those rivers. Hope we don't accidentally spread any into the water!

Message to Turkey: How about a two-for-one deal on destabilized neighbors? I'm sure you'll appreciate having another haven for the PKK right next door, right?

Message to Lebanon: Hey, hope you don't mind, but Hezbollah's going to get even nastier.

Message to Jordan: Could you hold onto these refugees for a bit? I know it's an economic strain and probably not great for your internal security, but hey, that's war!

Message to Israel: FINISH HIM.

There will always be someone out there to sell them or the chemicals to make them to him. Mojorabbit Sep 2013 #30

not true... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #36

The UK just recently sent chemicals to them. It can be made. Mojorabbit Sep 2013 #40

I forgot, the President lied about punitive strikes to "send a message" and you know his secret plan Dragonfli Sep 2013 #32
