#3 While this is probably just idle talk by British upper-crust dim-bulbs, there is a real point to be made here. Say instead, "If Syria uses WMD on anyone, then Britain will use WMD on the Syrian leadership and WMD weapons depots."

Such a statement would clearly indicate to the people holding the weapons in Syria that to follow an order to use them would result in their immediate death. Similarly for the military chain of command that surrounds the leadership.

Such a threat would completely eliminate the possibility that the Syrian weapons would ever be used.
