I hear reports of Syrian chemical munitions being moved to the area around Hom.They have Sarin,I wonder if they’re crazy enough to use it.
Probably. The way I look at it is this -- The same sh!thead "mujahidin" that are fighting Assad were the same ones streaming into Iraq to fight us.
There is no way the muj could have flowed into Iraq in the numbers they did with out the implicitness, if not outright assistance of Assad's regime. Assad played a dangerous game hoping the alligator would eat him last, but eat him it will.
IMO, the best we can hope for is that the regime will kill enough of the muj (causing more to flow in from other muslim sh!tholes in search of their martyrdom) to keep them from being a threat elsewhere; while the muj in turn continue to hinder the regime. At best, the regime remains victorious over AQ yet to weak to cause harm to Israel, Iraq, and Jordan.
Here's hoping their "Arab Spring" will continue to flow forth with muslim blood, while the Jews and Christians stand on the outside.
They have Sarin, cynaide, mustard, and maybe bio ... been building up since the 70s with the additions from Iraq via Saddam. For use against Israel, not “rebels”.
Why would they be crazy to use it? Look at the example of other Arab leaders who fell to the Arab Spring. Colonel Gaddafi: dead; Mubarik: imprisoned and near death. Assad knows that if he loses, he and his family will die. He might as well go down taking as many of his enemies with him as he can.
Assad is free to do as he will, because he knows the consequences of winning with chemical weapons are no worse than the consequences of losing. If he can credibly threaten chemical attacks in the capitals of those who threaten him, he might even be better off. MAD worked between the US and USSR for decades.
