"No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria," Makdissi said in news conference broadcast on Syrian state TV. "All of these types of weapons are in storage and under security and the direct supervision of the Syrian armed forces and will never be used unless Syria is exposed to external aggression."
While the statement Makdissi read out promised not to use the weapons against the Syrian people, he later noted that Syria is not facing an internal enemy in the rebellion, which the regime has described as being funded from abroad and driven by foreign extremists.
Well, there's his qualifier. The internal problem is due to external aggressors. Stay tuned.

My understanding is that the rebels are being supplied by Saudi Arabia and by Qatar.
But when Syria says it will use WMD against foreign aggressors, they are probably htinking of Israel.

So there were WMDs in Iraq? They were just moved right before the invasion.

Assad has to know that he is dog meat.
Pictures of his bloody and broken body being used as a ventriloquist doll are going to be plastered all over the internet in a little while.
If he doesn't quit, buy himself a little house on the beach somewhere, keep his mouth shut and live happily everafter, he is stupider than he looks.

he later noted that Syria is not facing an internal enemy in the rebellion, which the regime has described as being funded from abroad and driven by foreign extremists. What he appears to be saying is that he's not going to use his chem/bio weapons inside Syria, he will use them against the foreign states who are providing support for the rebels.
