SYRIA FALSE FLAG ALERT... Marines prepare for improvised explosives carrying WMD  http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/article/20130818/NEWS08/308180005/Marines-prepare-improvised-explosives-carrying-WMD
 The Marine Corps’ explosives experts are enhancing their training to prepare for expected future encounters with improvised bombs carrying chemical, biological or radiological agents — so-called weapons of mass destruction.To date, such improvised explosives have not been a credible threat on the battlefield, especially in improvised explosive devices. In Iraq, a few failed attempts were made using industrial chemicals, but the Marine Corps considers improvised WMDs a threat that’s likely, according to a contract solicitation from the service seeking assistance in developing this new training.Marines with 1st Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company at Camp Pendleton will attend the new Weapons of Mass Destruction Design and Defeat Course in October. The goal is to improve EOD techs’ chances for survival should they encounter improvised WMD, and help deployed forces adapt to the threat.It is a matter of time before improvised WMD are used against U.S. forces, says Steven Bucci, a foreign policy expert at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington. Bucci, a retired Army Special Forces officer, said attempts in Iraq demonstrated the enemy’s willingness to use them. All they lack are the materials, and failing states like Syria, which possess weaponized chemical agents, could provide them.Improvised WMD would most likely incorporate chemical agents, Bucci said. While they are difficult to manufacture and weaponize, much of the work is done if enemy forces obtain chemical weapons from an unsecured national stockpile — artillery shells, for example.“The bad guys know how to detonate artillery shells as IEDs,” Bucci said. “They did that in Iraq and Afghanistan. If they are chemical weapon shells or warheads, then you have a potential problem. So while that has not been a particular threat in the past — other than these lame attempts in Iraq — if they can get some of these things out of Syria, the possibility of creating chemical IEDs goes way up.”
[ed notes;unable to pin false allegations of chemical attacks on Assad and military,then will use their gulf allies mercenaies to unleash a chemical ied on us troops in Iraq,in order to justify an invasion in Syria?the rebels there ,if Assad is toppled,will be next afghanistan scenario,where us backs them,then says they are enemy..the false paradigms are always useful for interventions..
