Syria 'armed to the teeth' with chemical weapons

Like a three-card monte player, the Syrian government has been shifting its chemical weapons around the country in the midst of the country?s increasingly violent and chaotic civil war, leaving foreign intelligence agencies to guess where the outlawed weapons of mass destruction might end up ? and under whose control.

U.S. and Israeli officials fear that the weapons and chemical agents, which typically are kept separately until they are ready for use, could fall into the hands of terrorists or be used against rebel forces by the ruling Alawites in a last-ditch stand.

Almost as frightening, experts say, would be if rebel forces seized some of the weapons.


?No one but the Syrians knows the inventory, and if the rebels overrun one of these depots, there are worries about the physical control of the weapons,? said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a nonpartisan Washington, D.C., think tank. ?It may get down to individual Syrian soldiers making decisions.?

Syria acknowledges it has chemical weapons, will use them if attacked

The fluid situation on the ground and questions about the locations and quantities of the chemical weapons have intelligence analysts grasping at straws, said Rob Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former U.S. intelligence analyst on Syria.

?No scenario is too fanciful,? he said. ?We are in such uncharted territory. The regime is reeling and armed to the teeth.?

Rebels fear Syria's 'ghost fighters,' the regime's hidden militia

But intelligence reports and U.S. and Israeli experts interviewed by NBC News say two things are certain: The Syrian government has the most developed chemical weapons program in the Third World and it has used them on its own people at least once before.

Heightening concern about the weapons, a Syrian military defector, Gen. Mustafa Sheikh, claimed in an interview with Reuters on Saturday that Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar Assad were repositioning chemical weapons for possible use against the opposition in retaliation for the assassination of four top security officials.?

?We don't know why" they have begun moving chemical weapons from storage, a senior U.S. official said, confirming the movement. He refused to speculate whether the Assad regime could be preparing to use the weapons in an attempt to quell the continuing civilian uprising.

On Monday, Syria responded to the report by saying it would unleash its chemical and biological weapons only in the event of a foreign attack ? the first time it has acknowledged that it possesses such weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

The statement ?backfired,? said Danin, the Council on Foreign Relations fellow. "All it did was heighten international concerns about the (chemical weapons) stockpile," he said. ?If anything is going to trigger intervention, it?s this. It?s a potential causus belli? ???cause of war,? in Latin.

'Serious red line'
On Monday, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little warned that if the Assad regime used chemical weapons on civilians, that would cross a ?serious red line.?

"We would, of course, caution them strongly against any intention to use those weapons," he said. Little also reiterated that, at this point, the U.S. believes the chemicals are still secure.

Anti-government clashes continue as Western and Arab nations launch a diplomatic offensive to halt the violence.

U.S. officials have long believed that the Syrian government had stockpiled the banned chemical weapons.

Last year, in its most recent public report to Congress covering WMD developments, the CIA stated, ?Syria has had a CW (chemical weapons) program for many years and has a stockpile of CW agents, which can be delivered by aerial bombs, ballistic missiles and artillery rockets.?

U.S. intelligence reports indicate that Syria possesses the nerve agents sarin and tabun as well as traditional chemical weapons like mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. The CIA report also stated that Syria ?is developing the more toxic and persistent nerve agent VX,? which is more persistent than sarin and tabun and capable of rendering an area ? or a city ? uninhabitable ?for some days.??????

US official: Syrian regime seems to be readying for a massacre

Dani Shoham, a chemical weapons expert with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, at Israel?s Bar-Ilan University, said he believes Assad?s scientists already have done so.

?My assessment is that they successfully developed weaponized VX,? he said.

Syria is believed to have thousands of chemical weapons and hundreds of missiles and aircraft to deliver them. Israel has estimated that Syria has "several thousand" bombs that could be filled mostly with sarin and more than 100 warheads.

The key city of Aleppo has come under ferocious assault, bombarded by fighter jets and machine gun fire. The Syrian government's main priority is taking control of the major cities ? without enough troops to control the entire country, they are on the offensive. NBC's Richard Engel reports from northern Syria.

More significant is that Syria has a chemical weapons infrastructure, not just the weapons themselves. It is said to have vast stocks of ?agents available for loading into munitions as well as the precursor chemicals. It is one of only seven nations in the world that has not ratified the 1992 Chemical Weapons Convention, the arms-control agreement that outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of such weapons.

In terms of delivery systems, Syria has a few dozen SS-21 ballistic missiles with a maximum range of 72 miles; 200 Scud-B's, with a maximum range of 180 miles; and 60 to 120 Scud-C's with a maximum range of 300 miles, all of which are mobile and capable of carrying chemical weapons, according U.S. intelligence officials.

Russia will be big loser if Assad falls, analysts say

Bombshells filled with chemicals also can be carried by Syrian Air Force fighter-bombers, in particular Sukhoi-22/20, MiG-23 and Sukhoi-24 aircraft. In addition, some reports indicate short-range unguided Frog-7 artillery rockets may be capable of carrying chemical payloads.

The weapons systems are -- or were -- in a number of sites close to Israel and near cities where Syrian security forces have fought rebels and shelled civilian areas. But the shifting of the weapons has disguised their current location and raised new concerns about what the Assad regime is planning to do with them.

Like Iraq and Egypt, Syria has employed chemical agents against its people, using hydrogen cyanide on insurgents in the early 1980s, according to congressional investigators.

Following violent demonstrations by the Muslim Brotherhood in Hama in January and February 1982, Syrian army units sealed off the city. According to a November 1990 Senate Foreign Relations Committee memo, the army units then went to every house suspected of hiding insurgents and pumped in cyanide gas, killing all the occupants. Later, the government broadcast a report saying security forces had taken fierce reprisals against the Brotherhood and its sympathizers, "which stopped them from breathing.?

The Syrian government's army is descending on the northern city of Aleppo where the city was seized by rebels. NBC's John Ray reports.

Danin, the Council on Foreign Relations expert on Syria, said Syria?s statement on Monday acknowledging its chemical weapons was a thinly disguised threat to the rebel forces. ?It was meant as a message to insurgents.?

Beyond their use against insurgents, U.S. and allied fears about the chemical weapons fall into three categories:

  • That they could fall into the hands of Sunni jihadis aligned with al-Qaida;
  • That the Assad regime could give them to Hezbollah, which is aligned with Iran and already has a significant arsenal of missiles and rockets;
  • That they could be used to shield an enclave set up by Assad forces to protect Syria?s minority Alawites, from which most of the government elite is drawn.

Danin thinks all three scenarios are unlikely, but added that they can?t be completely discounted, especially if further movement of the weapons is detected.

?Any movement or potential movement raises the ante,? he said. ?You can be agnostic about whether (Assad) stays or goes, but this is one area that that mobilizes the U.S. and Israel to move to preparatory steps. Both the threat and objective are clear and identifiable.?

What you need to know about the Syria crisis

Danin said that terrorists -- either Islamic jihadis fighting with the rebels or Hezbollah fighters ? gaining control of such weapons would be the most dangerous scenario.

?Shifting them to Hezbollah would be dangerous, provocative and incendiary,? he said. That, he said, would be ?a Doomsday scenario and it would prompt prevention measures.?

But Leonard Spector, deputy director of the Washington, D.C., office of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said even a rebel seizure of chemical weaponry would be alarming, since they could conceivably be quickly be spirited away.

?Should the insurgents overrun one of the chemical weapons depots, the question is, if you walk into a room are there weapons you wheel out or do they require more attention?? he said. ?Some are ?ready to roll? is my impression.?

'Threat is real indeed'
Indeed, while the location of the stockpiles is now in question, the areas where the weapons were believed to be stored all are near scenes of some of the worst violence since the uprising against Assad began 1 ? years ago.

Reuters

While some concerns have been raised that ?Syria could use the weapons against Israel or Turkey, perhaps as a diversion, most experts see that possibility as far-fetched.

?In terms of the size, diversity, quality and operability of the CW arsenal, the threat is real indeed,? said Shoham, the Israeli expert. ?In terms of likelihood that it would be employed, I would level it low against Israel and Turkey and appreciable against the insurgents.?

However, the general threat to Israel was noted by the CIA as far back as 2001, "Syria probably has weaponized sarin into aerial bombs and SCUD missile warheads, which gives Syria the capability to employ chemical agents against targets in Israel. ...While the SS-21s likely would be employed primarily against military bases and forces in northern Israel, the SCUD's longer range and larger warhead suggests that it could be used against Tel Aviv and other cities."?

Myth vs. truth in the Syrian conflict

Even if Syria?s chemical weapons are never used, they could play a role in ending the conflict.

Danin suggested that if the weapons remain in secure locations, they could serve as a deterrent against foreign intervention.

?I think it does play a role at the end of the day,? he said. ?It provokes and deters at the same time. It makes a country like Turkey think twice about a limited military intervention and reinforces the notion that Syria has a very powerful military.?

But Spector, of the Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said the weapons would be a wildcard in a negotiated settlement that would see Assad relinquish power.

?The best outcome would be for those who guard the chemical stocks to remain in place during any transition of power, and to place the sites under international supervision so that the weapons would remain secure and a process could be developed to verifiably destroy them,? he said.

That would require some delicate conversations, Spector said, with whomever winds up in control of the weapons.

?You may have to persuade those in control to manage the weapons and not let them be purchased, have some understanding with them that they will be provided with supplies and their families safeguarded,? he said.

Fighter jet scrambled after plane enters Olympic no-fly zone

Britain scrambled a Royal Air Force Typhoon jet on Wednesday after a commercial airliner entered restricted airspace put in place for the London Olympics, the Ministry of Defence said.

The RAF jet was launched after air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane.

But contact was soon re-established with the jet and the Typhoon was called back to base.

A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that 1 Typhoon launched shortly before 11:30 am today.

"This was in response to a commercial aircraft that was out of communication with air traffic control services. Communications were quickly restored; no further action was required."

Britain has mounted its biggest peacetime security operation to guard the Olympics, which officially open on Friday.

Cloud Music Making, Just Vapor? Amidst Shifting Businesses ...

Doing creative work in the browser has, over the years, delivered a fair bit of hype. What it hasn?t delivered is a tool with any real apparent staying power. And as we watch the meltdown of creative Web poster child Aviary?s music suite, caught between changing business models and evolving standards, there?s reason for concern. That?s not to say that Web-based music making can?t work. But it certainly isn?t working like this.

Aviary had been a key example of powerful in-browser editing tools, with an extensive suite of tools built in Flash. But Aviary switched their business model, focusing instead on providing editing tools to other developers on mobile. And the transition from Flash to ?HTML5? isn?t helping, either. Flash has done a great job of exiting, but HTML5 hasn?t made the same confident entrance. The plug-in Flash, for all its flaws, at least delivered the same experience across operating systems and browsers. HTML5, which is really just a name being (somewhat inaccurately) applied to a bundle of Web standards and codecs provided in-browser, is still evolving.

Aviary is just one example, but the way in which cloud services shut down is itself worth some attention. Whereas a defunct native application might still run on your machine, the ?cloud? service here just shuts off. It?s gone. Not only is your data gone, but it?s as though the whole application never existed. Now, in fairness, with OS updates and the like, a native app may not fare a whole lot better. But part of the appeal of doing work online is supposed to be not having to worry about maintaining software; here, it?s quite the opposite. One possible remedy, standard file interchange formats, seems generally an afterthought in online services even more than in desktop software.

In fact, whatever the bigger trends, in browser software as with any software, let the buyer (user) beware. You may want to be cautious about protecting your work. Albert Santoni, who writes us with this tip, puts it this way:

I just received the following email from the creators of Aviary, the flash-based online audio editor ?in the cloud? that has over 180,000 users in the Chrome Web Store alone.

The audio editor has had a presence as the most popular audio application in the Chrome Web Store since its launch, and is available here: http://advanced.aviary.com/tools/audio-editor

I think this might be worth warning your readers about ? If you store your music creations in the cloud (especially for free), you?re susceptible to losing all your work if the company decides to change directions or goes out of business. This is maybe the first time a cloud-based music production application has died, but it certainly won?t be the last.

At the moment, I?m more optimistic about free and open source software solutions. Free software can for some be a philosophical choice. But here, you can make a more practical argument. CDM has run on WordPress for nearly eight years; we?re now investing in Create Digital Noise as a forum on another open platform. Part of the reason is, those tools can be more future-proof. I?ve frequently gone in and modified code to make it work the way we need, and a well-run community and updates, a community who is collectively invested in keeping something alive, can make this stuff outlast proprietary solutions. (By way of comparison, a lot of the commercial tools we might have used have since died, as their business models failed to survive.)

Proprietary software and stables businesses can provide software with a longer life, sometimes in ways that provide superior support to free software. But at the moment, it seems the Web itself may be moving so fast as to require collective effort by developers of free tools.

There, too, HTML5 technology is moving forward, with work on everything from codecs to better audio support.

But for now, the reality on the ground for users of these tools seems a long way from being able to compete with more powerful, better-supported, more-usable, more-understandable, more-flexible desktop tools. And the obituary from Aviary is sobering.

If you?re out there and do believe in browser-based tools, as a user, a developer, or both, it?s not a bad place to begin as a cautionary tale. Whatever you do, do better than this.

And for Aviary, at least, the business was much better in apps ? iOS, in particular ? than on the browser, and better in supporting someone else?s apps than their own.

With Flash?s general decline as a platform over the last few years, it is becoming more and more of a time sink for our team to fix and support these issues.
We therefore have made the difficult decision to retire the advanced suite of multimedia Flash apps for artists (located at advanced.aviary.com) on September 15th, 2012. Between now and this time period, you are encouraged to download (and/or export) any files currently residing on the system as they may not be available after that time.
We will unfortunately no longer be able to offer additional support for this suite between now and then, though you are welcome to continue to use it without support until it officially closes.
This is obviously a very difficult and sad announcement for us to make ? much love, sweat, passion, investment and energy went into building our advanced suite of multimedia Flash apps. But our team, board and investors all recognize that continuing to support and develop a suite of legacy products on a platform that is declining would be a tremendous waste of resources, in addition to being too big a distraction to the success of our current focus.
To answer the obvious question: Will we rebuild the advanced multimedia suite for artists in HTML5 (or natively on mobile)? We have no plans at this time to do so. We feel that we?re currently on the right path to success and it would be too distracting to have to completely rebuild products from scratch that are off that path, at this time.
We have no recommendations for other apps you could use as alternative to our advanced suite of multimedia flash apps for artists right now, but will try to compile some closer to September when we send out a reminder notice. We do recommend that if you are a member of the artist community at advanced.aviary.com, you join the awesome community of artists at Worth1000.com.

Aviary?s new direction

Now, I don?t want to be all gloom-and-doom here.

Are there online apps you really are using on a regular basis to make music? (Not just share music, as on excellent tools like SoundCloud ? what about creation?)

For those that do interest you, have you checked lately what options they give you for export, and are those tools sufficient?

Here?s a look at what one of the Aviary apps accomplished.

Mauritius Tourism Industry Hoping for Growth in Indian Tourists

The economic troubles in Europe have been affecting luxury destinations in the Indian Ocean such as Mauritius and Maldives, and now these two island nations have to target other markets such as wealthy travellers from China and India. In fact, the Mauritius tourism industry is actively targeting the Indian market at the moment and is expecting a growth in visitors from India of around 6 percent in 2012.

The Indian outbound market is growing all the time so countries like Mauritius, Maldives and Seychelles are working hard to attract new visitors. The Mauritius Tourism Minister is planning on heading to New Delhi in order to discuss adding another flight per week with Air Mauritius from India to Mauritius. At the moment there are four flights from Mumbai every week, two from New Delhi and one each from Chennai and Bangalore.

As well as upping flights to Mauritius, the Mauritian tourism industry is hoping to introduce a number of promotional activities in cities all over the country with a budget of one million US dollars. The minister has stated that this budget could be increased if needs be.

There are many family friendly Mauritius hotels all over the islands where a fun filled holiday can be had. For many years, tourists from Europe have been coming to these beautiful shores to experience a luxury holiday as it should be. Beautiful white sandy beaches, warm clear waters and lots of activities make Mauritius a perfect destination for a family holiday. Indian families will no doubt also be enticed to travel to Mauritius for a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.

Most hotels in Mauritius are perfect for a family holiday as they are situated on the beach where children can spend the day playing in the shallows while parents can sit back and enjoy the warm sunshine. If the beach is not your thing then you will find an impressive pool area in most resorts where there are various sections which often include an adult's only section and a pool area for children. Most resorts have a children's club where there will be plenty of activities on offer throughout the day to keep them busy and at night there will usually be some form of entertainment just for the children before they start the family entertainment shows.

Mauritius is more about the resorts however and those families that want to explore the island will not be disappointed. There are many hotel run excursions that you can book including trips to the cities such as Port Louis or Grand Bahie for some fantastic shopping opportunities. In Port Louis there is plenty to see and do and here you will learn a lot about the culture of Mauritius.

Nature lovers can explore some of the beautiful rainforests in Mauritius where they will come across some truly spectacular plant life and maybe a rare bird or two. There are some amazing photo opportunities to be had there.

If you would like more information about family friendly Mauritius hotels then Mauritius holidays direct is the place to go.

Robert Pattinson Wonders: Why Do People Cheat?


Robert Pattinson is yet to speak out regarding Kristen Stewart's admitted affair with Rupert Sanders.

But although it wouldn't be difficult to imagine the pain this actor is in regardless, he actually expressed his take on infidelity in the April edition of Italian Vanity Fair.

Robert Pattinson Premiere Pose

"There's a thing I've never got, that is, why do people cheat?" Pattinson asked in the article. "I can understand the impulse, but not how you can keep two relationships going at the same time for long. This usually happens to people with children."

Sanders, of course, does have two children. But Stewart claims her dalliance with the director was a one-time thing, a "momentary indiscretion."

“I’m not the casual-affair kind of guy," Rob also told the magazine. "If I choose to be with someone it’s because I really want it. When I have a relationship, I’m 100% into it."

Stewart, as these makeout photos prove, can't say the same.

What do you think? Should Robert forgive Kristen?

Life-size bigfoot replica up for auction on eBay

Owner of hairy statue is asking for an equally huge opening bid

Conclusive evidence that bigfoot exists has eluded cryptozoologists for decades. But if you're willing to fork over a colossal wad of cash, you could have your own close encounter with sasquatch ? or at least a suitable facsimile ? in your own home.

Created by bigfoot afficianado Clifford LaBrecque, who says he had an encounter with the real deal in 1977, the 36-year-old "museum quality" replica of the beast stands more than eight feet tall. In its item description on eBay ? where it currently sits awaiting an opening $80,000 bid ? the statue is said to be based on LaBrecque's "years of study and research" into the purported man-ape.

If you're looking to bid on the over-sized item, be warned that the winning bidder will have to travel to Arkansas in order to pick it up. You'll also need an appropriately large vehicle to transport your piece of American folklore home. Might we suggest â??¦ Bigfoot?

Keeping Your Kitchen Green

Food For Thought
Keeping Your Kitchen Green

by Leanne Ely, CNC

Recycling and repurposing what we have is not only a smart economical move, it?s green and good for the environment. Most of the time it?s plastic and paper that we recycle, but if you open up your refrigerator you?ll find plenty in there that can be used for another meal. This is the ultimate in recycling; taking leftovers and giving them new life in the form of a meal makeover.

We are all guilty of throwing away food from time to time. But honestly, we can do better than throwing away half our leftovers.

How?

First, be aware of the food you have. Maybe keep a little magnetized dry erase board on the refrigerator door so you can jot down the leftovers that you?ve put in it through the week (don?t forget to date them, too).Second, don?t let leftovers exist beyond the 4 day mark. At that point they?re primed for cooties! And the third point of course, is to actually eat your leftovers.

Sometimes ample leftovers put you in the place of dread?no one wants to eat the same meal three days in a row. However, I?ve purposefully cooked ?extra? just to get the leftovers. This is my ?go to? guide for leftover proteins:

1) Leftover roast chicken, roast beef or pork? Shred it up and make it into a burrito (just add some canned black beans and salsa).

2) Grilled meat, chicken or fish? Make it into a main course salad, repurpose it as a sandwich or use it as your protein source for a new pasta dish.

Awareness empowers; make a plan for all your food, leaving no morsel wasted!
