And so it begins..

No date on the story as of yet..

AND SO IT BEGINNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Scud missile can carry chemical warhead

Any confirmation/ date on this yet?

Could be old/ twisted news used to generate attention and "victim" sympathy - from the textbook of disinformation; just enough truth or reference(s) to truth entailed to create an element of validity.

Or, if true/ current - this is not going to just go away

Good question.

Syrian Forces Have Fired Scud Missiles at Insurgents, U.S. Says
WASHINGTON — Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have fired Scud missiles at rebel fighters in recent days, Obama administration officials said on Wednesday.

The move represents a significant escalation in the fighting, which has already killed more than 40,000 civilians in a nearly two-year-old conflict that has threatened to destabilize the Middle East.

DU????

Really???

Wow

go Assad get those terrorists. Assad has more balls than any US citizen while he fights off the American terrorists.

looks like this is correct

Syrian forces loyal to Assad have fired Scud missiles at rebel fighters, sources tell @nytimes

Interesting. Of course this is only really news if they had chemical weapons on them, otherwise it's just more of the same really.

But there's the rub - NY Times

I'm not finding any reference anywhere else, but I do have work to tend to as well.

The NY Times is instrumental in gathering public opinion and support - even if passively - but more so in planting seeds of information/ disinformation in order to sway the public opinion in preparation for larger action(s).

this is not important if they didn't use chemical warheads

true

Whitehouse statment on sky news now

shit about to hit the fan

As I said, it's only news if they had chemical warheads.

Whoa, serious stuff. I wonder if the scud missiles had any chemicals.

if they did we'd of known by now, can't hide that many casualties from the press
