Chemical weapons used in Syria

[f0xx]

I thought we may have had weapons able to consume the chemicals upon strike. as I stated I thought Israel has done this before

Hah lol.

We send dem Atticus. He keel dem all (the chem weapons).

From my understanding heavy incendiary bombs normally significantly lower the risk of this happening (BURN IT WITH FIRE! approach) but it can still happen. Any one of you probably knows more about this than I do though so I could be wrong.

As to who did what, honestly, I'm sick of it. We don't know, they probably won't tell us anyways, and people are going to die in droves regardless of if we intervene or not. So screw it, I'll light up a cigarette and grab a drink, one of those will probably kill me before the actual facts come out.

Amen, Brother. Amen. I'll see you outside with a smoke and a drink in hand.

We may or may not gave such weapons that could be utilized. And Pali, read my posts well. If I thought bombing the country was viable I wouldn't suggest anti armor and personnel missiles. I would be talking about BLU 1000 series, and say let's turn the city to glass.

[Pali]

so I say a couple well placed AGM-114K/B on their asses with some suppressive gau-21 fire while a seal team wreaks havoc like Rath the Lich does- all the while we can have some shells dropped from the Destroyers. Game and Match.

Forgive me, Atticus, but the above to me hardly reads as recommending very specific, limited strikes - "wreaking havoc" being words you used, after all. I am well aware that you did not say to bomb the whole place, but that was the general mentality you seemed to be communicating.

And you completely ignored my own questions - what would your recommended course of action accomplish?

I cant recommend anything, as my current mission is Syria oriented.

LOL... I'm sorry but **** like this is the reason I can't stand newbs in the military. You've been in for what, a grand total of 6 months? Everybody watch out! You made it through boot camp and learned yourself what a mark 80 is and think that means your dick's grown 6 inches. Either you're an idiot that doesn't understand what OPSEC is, or you're an idiot that thinks saying the above is going to impress anyone here. You should probably go back to mopping the floor or whatever they have you doing and save the talk for when you finally grow some hair in your special place.

[Atticus]

Lmao nice flame, that's all I can say to you. I've been in for a year, and I'm not saying I'm a seal or anything. I've just been briefed on the situation and can't speak of it. Btw I am Tue master of mopping. Impressing some.people on a mud fourm is just tooooo much to pass up man. Sit back while we take care of the bad guys.

*facepalm* You do understand that you already did, don't you?

[Atticus]

Not specific, no. Dealings in this matter would take more than my short spur of humor concerning the situation.

[f0xx]

For a second time, lol Atticus...

[Enethier]

inb4 the navy finds what atti posted and he loses his job. :3

[Atticus]

Lol I'm certain one armed helicopter and an assault team woulnt fix the situation at hand. I love that people can heckle me but don't know half of the truth concerning Syria and the chemical weapons, most of what I've said was in good humor. Keep it up, you all might find some facts out there.

[Pali]

*sigh* And this was a good thread...

[Atticus]

A misinformed one would be more appropriate.

[Kyzarius]

The issue I see is that if the US does intervene with strategic strikes. This has the possibility of causing the Regime to merely behave as an animal cornored and start using more and more explicit means of assaulting the populace as a result.

Force their hand, and you will find out what cards they hold.

This would of course create more support for intervention on the international stage, though at what cost? Of course doing nothing has already seen an escalating use of force or we wouldn't be where we are today. You do nothing, things will get worse, you intervene things will most likely just get worse quicker. And an occupation is out of the question, since we have all been there, and know that doesn't work.

Never simple war is.

[Pali]

A misinformed one would be more appropriate.

An uninformed one, which has been my point all along, and it's a situation you've done nothing to remedy.

[MeleeCrazy]

I believe all of us are getting our info on the topic from sources that are themselves flawed but that doesn't mean we are uninformed. i think we are all trying to find the truth in all the bull. problem is our sources are filtered and altered and we the public will never get the whole picture.

i wasn't sure at first what i thought we shoul or shouldn't do now i believe its gone beyond the point where doing nothing is an option.

There's nothing he can do to remedy it. He doesn't know anything. He's just trying to get some attention so it's best to just ignore him.

[MeleeCrazy]

Doctors without Borders say the death toll from the chemical weapons attack was 350 not 1400 as the US government has stated. Communications intercepted from Turkey three days before the attack stated that an event on Aug. 21 would be a"game changer". photo shown on bbc as evidence of the attack was taken by a french photographer in iraq 2003. things just keep getting fishier

Kinda what I meant by uninformed - we are lacking in critical information. I don't consider terms like uninformed or ignorant to be pejoratives... we all lack most information regarding most subjects.

And Doctors Without Borders listed 355 as the death toll in three MSF hospitals - not the total death toll.

Three hospitals in Syria's Damascus governorate that are supported by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have reported to MSF that they received approximately 3,600 patients displaying neurotoxic symptoms in less than three hours on the morning of Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Of those patients, 355 reportedly died.

I've also heard but have yet to vet the source that most civilians in that area of Damascus had fled due to the ongoing conflict and that most of the people there were soldiers and rebels. Strange to see such large numbers of civilian casualties, child casualties in an area that's been locked in battle for so long.

I wish I did know more, But almost everything you look at has some bias in the argument and more often many of them get their info from the same places, nothing substantial is ever learned.

[Pali]

Think of it this way - Damascus is listed on Wikipedia as having a population of 1.7 million, in a metro area that totals 2.6 million. Even if 90% of civilians have fled the city, that's still 170,000 present in the city, 260,000 in the area.
