[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1112071, member: 14668"] Syria has one of the largest arsenal of chemical weapons on earth. The regime has several tons of Sarin, Tabun and VX nerve agents as well as mustard gas. They also have SCUD missiles which can deliver a 1000 lb. payload of these deadly agents to any target within a range of approximately 300 miles. Imagine for a moment what would happen if Al-Queda or some other terrorist organization that is currently fighting in the Syrian civil war got hold of [I]just one[/I] of these missiles. If they were able to get it on board an ordinary freight ship without our knowledge, it could simply sail across the Atlantic to within 300 miles of New York City and then be launched. Half a ton of nerve gas detonated over Manhattan could immediately kill tens or even [I]hundreds[/I] of thousands of people. Or...they could launch that missile at Tel Aviv or Haifa. The Israelis would respond by nuking Damascus, and the entire Middle East would become a bloodbath. Regardless of what happens in Syria, we [I]have[/I] to make sure those chemical weapons do not fall into the wrong hands. [/QUOTE]
