FP reports that Syrian rebels already have Russian advanced missiles most probably from the stockpiles of Moamar Qaddafi. How do we know which missile delivered chemical weapon: one from Assad stockpile or one from Qaddafi smuggled from Libya through Turkey by Muslim radicals, who are reportedly being trained by the CIA? How do we know these barbarians will not turn against us as they turned against our ambassador in Libya, how do we know they will not use antiarcraft missiles against our commercial airliners?

Syria’s Rebels Already Have Advanced Missiles. But How Did They Get There?

(The video also shows a Chinese-made FN-6 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, a weapon we wrote about being in the hands of Syrian rebels a few months ago.)
“This video appears to show a group with what appears to be a modern Russian SA-24 manpads AND a modern Chinese FN-6,” said Schroeder in an email. “The FN-6s are fairly well documented but the SA-24s are not; I’ve only seen one video with an SA-24 and a gripstock in Syria. Never have I seen the two systems together – anywhere.”
(Keep in mind that it’s almost impossible to fire such missiles without a gripstock and battery. We’re seen plenty of videos showing rebels handling the missiles and their launch tubes without grip stocks, making them pretty much harmless against aircraft.)
Why is this so significant? Introduced in 2004, the SA-24 is Russia’s newest shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile and is “much more sophisticated than systems more commonly found on the black market, just in terms of range, ease of use, sensitivity of the seeker, speed,” said Schroeder in a telephone interview.
The heat-seeking SA-24 is designed to hit targets flying at speeds of up to 720 miles per-hour and can fly as high as 20,000 feet and reach a top speed of 890 miles per-hour; a nasty little weapon. (Earlier this week, video emerged of Syrian rebels shooting down a government chopper with an older version of the Grinch known as an SA-16.)
One of the most disturbing things about this development, according to Schroeder. is that these weapons likely smuggled into the country via the black market. The Syrian military is not believed to have had SA-24s and the sale of such weapons is supposed to be strictly regulated.

“These are systems that could have been manufactures and exported since the MANPADS transfer control agreements were negotiated in 2003, 2004 and 2005,” said Schroeder. “Those agreements lay out very specific guidelines for transfer controls and for stockpile security.”
This could signal the “states involved are either defying those agreements or not taking them seriously enough,” he added.
Interestingly, there are reports that SA-24s were smuggled out of Libya in during or immediately after the war to oust Muammar al Gaddafi in 2011 and ended up in the hands of militants in Gaza and Syria’s Levantine neighbor, Lebanon.
While it would take “dozens” of SA-24s to do serious damage to Assad’s air force, it would only take a few of these systems ending up in the wrong hands to pose a serious threat to civilian aircraft.
“Just a few dozen is a scary development in terms of the threat to civilian aircraft and the damage done to the” MANPADS export control framework, “is a very disturbing development,” added Schroeder. “Even if a dozen were deliberately transferred to a non-state group by a state actor, a supporter of the Syrian rebels, that’s a very disturbing development.”

The CIA Has Been takin over By Brennan. He is a Radical Muslim Convert Converted years ago. They are using our resources to put These Ungodly Pieces a SH*& in power to surround Israel. Our Govt has been takin over by these Low Life Commie Criminals. Americas only Hope is a Military Coup by sworn Patriotic Constitutionalist . This is outrageous how they are getting away with this. How Obvious Congress and Senate Obama is Osama are anti American. except maybe 4 or 5 congressman and senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz. Last of the good days.

Vis a vis BRENNAN; that story is gradually becoming more widely known. If true, there is a link to all the WEIRD actions of the O Administration.
In other news, this is coming to America:

Barry is 100% correct, the “Muslim Brotherhood has been given a seriously strong foothold in the USA by non-other than Barry S..
The only way to stop this progression is with a Military Coup.

Most folks have forgotten the imagery taken from 60k ft above the Iraq-Syrian border back when everyone (even Billary Clinton) knew Saddam Hussein had an arsenal of chemical weapons. That imagery showed photos of a large convoy of military transport vehicles crossing from Iraq into Syria. That is where the weapons went and the reason why inspectors didn’t find them. Those are the chemical weapons still in Syria today.

This is what democrats do. They bankrupt us with corruption and deficit spending, raise taxes, put government in charge of all our essential services, weaken the military, and top it all off by starting a war. Hopefully Republicans will be given a chance to fix this thing before it’s too late.

We know we can’t trust the muslims…we can’t trust the head of the cia…so we do need to trust the Patriotic Military, to pull off an arrest of the treasonous tribe that everyone knows by now!
We need NESARA, ASAP!

I don’t agree with Barry Bounel but I agree we must get Brennan out of any power position. He has the goods on the Prez but now the Prez is starting to understand how powerful a backlash of voters could be. The Prez has little to fear since he is not up for re-election but before he goes he must pay his debts to his handlers. American citizens like Orly Taitz are standing up by revealing that there are other faces to our National Interests. What a Statesman/person Orly Taitz would be as Senator of California! Even politicals in Israel are satisfied with the status quo in Syria. Yes there are problems but no need to unleash further murder of Syria’s citizens by the USA. There is no question we made sure the non-Syrian Moslems received these weapons. We know who you are Sen McCain. You won’t be elected again.

Brennan gave the order as he was instructed by Obama!!! Obama needed a War with Iran which the people already shot down. this was Obama’s only backdoor shot he had at starting World War 3. The AIPAC and Military Industrial are now going into full swing bribing to ensure the Senate and Congress will vote for War! If you truly want to stop war you need to have new reps push through laws making all lobbying illegal and making all campaign contributions illegal from any foreigners!
