#1 Assad seems able to survive in power without chemical weapons, so as long as the resistance can be supplied well enough to survive too, this could allow a LONG civil war. Who knows, maybe one that could even spread to Iran.

#2 By most accounts, Baby Assad is seemingly wilLing only to publicly reveal the extent, numbers, + major locations of its ChemWeapons arsenal, NOT TO GIVE THEM UP.

Which, again, IMO Assad likely isn't going to unilaterally surrender 'em unless he gets offsets in new arms + $$$ from Russia + Iran [China?] = international community.
