Absolutely it could've happened. Just as likely that no actual chemical weapons were removed. Either way, it was a colossal failure. 3 years later and they're already using chemical weapons again. Lot of good that did.

 

There is zero chance no chemical weapons were removed in 2013 / 14. Because of that it was not a colossal failure. Anytime some chemical weapons are destroyed it is good.

 

Since this is primarily a sports site, here is an analogy. Was UK's basketball season a colossal failure because they did not win a national title? I am sure there are some people that see it that way but not me.

What proof do you have to the bolded?

 

And that's a terrible analogy. A better would be that being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for removing chemical weapons that weren't actually removed is like Kentucky basketball hanging a national championship banner this year when they didn't win the title.

Why dont we let someone else handle it for a change, why does it always have to be the US?

 

Basically because no one else is willing to step up to the plate.

If believing that is what it takes to get you through the day.

 

Absolutely zero proof that most were removed.

Seems to reduce that Nobel Prize to much of nothing. Very sad considering how prestigious that award is.

 

Like I posted earlier, how could you trust Assad and Russia?

1,300 tons of Syrian chemical weapons were verified destroyed with the US Navy ship Cape Ray involved in helping with the destruction.

They did give the Nobel prize in literature to Bob Dylan, so we may agree.

 

I do believe some chemical weapons destroyed. Who knows where the rest came from?

Wrong. See post #307 above.

Sorry for the additional posts but I couldn't get the multi-quote function to work.

Wrong. See post #307 above.

 

Refer to post #306

 

If you destroy 1,300 tons of thousands upon thousands of tons, have you really accomplished your goal? #nope

You have continuously repeated the statement that chemical weapons were removed. This week proved that never happened. Why continue to repeat s falsehood?

 

Please provide the proof they were removed. Not just statements but actual photos, intel, etc.

 

My bet is it never happened.

 

You think they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize without proof?

 

You're kidding, right?

 

I dispute the fact the weapons were removed.

You said you don't believe chemical weapons were removed and asked for proof. I provided proof.

 

We don't know where the weapons used last week came from - hidden from inspectors or newly manufactured?

President Bush was raked over the coals because the inspectors turned up no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and rightfully so. Syria has used chemical weapons less than 3 months from the end of Pres. Obama's final day on the job.

The former president gets no free pass here.

That has nothing to do with our discussion.

 

I said chemical weapons were destroyed. Capt278 and UKMF said no. I posted information about 1,300 tons of Syrian chemical weapons being destroyed and that the US Navy helped destroy them. That is all I am trying to prove in the discussion.

I understand what you said. My point is it doesn't matter where the weapons were, only that they shouldn't have been there. For that I hold the Obama administration accountable, the same way I held Bush accountable.
