Syrian Military Defector: Assad Kept 'Hundred of Tons' of Chemical Weapons Under Failed Obama Policy
By now, you know the basics: President Obama issued a 'red line' warning to the Syrian regime against the use of chemical weapons -- an admonition that was promptly, willfully and repeatedly ignored. Assad's acts of brazen and barbaric defiance resulted in...nothing from the White House, not even an "unbelievably small" military response, which Congress appeared poised to reject anyway. Obama's failed approach to the no-win Syria conflict grew worse when then-Secretary of State John Kerry gaffed his way into a fanciful new US policy under which Assad and his patrons in Moscow agreed to remove "all" of Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles in order to stave off any potential international consequences. This deal was hailed as a grand diplomatic accomplishment, but has consistently been exposed as a sham. Just this past weekend, former Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the gap between the former president's bellicose rhetoric and feckless inaction sent a "message of weakness to the world."
