A letter to the editor.

Here is a letter to the editor I sent to the Houston Chronicle this morning. Who knows if they will publish it. They have published some of my writings. But if anyone can answer the question I pose or if you can give an example of the 4th Estate asking the question, please let me know.

Reference Pending US attack on Syria.

As Mr. Obama moves this county to a unilateral attack on Syria I’m surprised by one question that’s not being asked. While there is no real doubt that Mr. Assad used chemical weapons on the forces against his government, what has not been asked, let alone answers, is where did he get the weapons?

Any reader of Janes, STRATFOR or a decent unclassified intelligence source knew in the 1990s Iraq and Iran were working to produce nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. But Syria wasn’t really on the radar. Again, where did they get them?

Back to open sources. In the public domain there were reports of shipments of Saddam’s weapons in late 2002 from Iraq to Syria, but for some reason that wasn’t mentioned much when then Senator Obama, among others, where accusing then President Bush of taking the US to war on false pretenses.

So again, can we ask the Forth Estate to ask Jay Carney et all the simple question. Where did they get these weapons? If they were produced in Syria, our intelligence may be lacking again. If they originated in Iraq, the basis for the Iraqi invasion has been shown valid.
