If Al Qaeda was taking over here, I’m not sure I would see using chems as a bad thing either. But if we are winning they way they say Assad is, not sure why I would feel the need. I think maybe the rebels did something with them first and he retaliated in kind myself.
I'm not sure I want to be in the "we" part of either side of the issue. Assad or the rebels, there isn't a bit of difference between the two. No matter which side wins, the U.S. loses.
There is a lot more to this Syria debacle than what meets the eye or goes into the ear. I will believe until proved otherwise that big money is involved and that involves oil and gold on the part of known nefarious persons.
