MELANIE PHILLIPS: ABOUT SYRIA’S CHEMICAL STOCKPILE……….

The Libyan arsenal was seized by the same like minded ”reformers”, of which some ended up being used in Syria. Be careful of supporting something just because its against a hated tyrant, they could, and will be even worse than the tyrant they’re replacing.
