#1 American official with knowledge of the situation told Wired magazine.....

The mixing of WMD components over a vast country is much easier to see or detect than a mob at a US consulate or "CIA annex".

#3 Lots of Saddam's stuff (whatever is still usable) is probably added to the mixture, too.

#4 Exactly what else would the US / UN do to Assad then they are doing/going to do to him now?

His best case scenario is hanging after a long trial unless he runs to Russia. Do you really think this would make a difference to them?

That's what I'm saying. Obama's been sending weapons to the rebels and backing Assad into a corner. Assad must know what will happen to him and his fellow Alawites if the rebels win. Wouldn't want to be a little Alawite girl when that happens, as if Obama cares. So what's a little gas between mortal enemies? What difference does it make whether you get killed by gas or a bomb?

#6 It's not like Obama will do anything if Assad does it. Which is the whole point, he's just wagging his finger. With Egypt going into Chaos mode I suspect we'll have a WMD attack by Christmas in Syria.

We're about to see what would have happened in a second Carter term, at home and abroad. It's going to get messy.
