#1 Any proximity to Beqaa, where those mysterious trucks from Iraq went, nearly a decade and half ago?

#2 Beqaa is in Lebanon, Blossom Splat8740. Is that Hizb'allah territory? I can't imagine them sharing such things with ISIS, despite Iran sheltering that Al Qaeda contingent for so long.

#3 Now was that so hard? 0bama could have hit Syria's CBW capabilities instead of walking away from his red line and triggering the Ukraine and ISIS crises.

#4 Beqaa has been controlled by Hezbollah in the past. No idea about today.

Keep in mind that the ISIS people were getting support from Iran and Syria and their allies like Hezbollah back in the 'noughts when they were "the resistance" in Iraq.
