Here’s an example of a story where the Syrian government has been reported to say it might use chemical weapons if there was foreign intervention. This is from Reuters last year:

So, the US/UN consortium had this teed up for use.
The statement is “against outside foreign aggression”, and does not provide anything other than verbal cover for the “rebels” having gotten some of either these WMDs (which of course the dems will never acknowledge came from Iraq/Saddam, but they did) OR we supplied them to the rebels (a chilling possibility to “wag the dog” on command).
As bad as it is, the Russians make sense— there are none but civilians in the claims of the use of chem weapons. No dead rebels— interesting enough on its own. This is the kind of thing that has been done in hundreds of past “civil” wars (like in the Balkans, or Katyn Forest in Poland). So we are being sold a bill of goods, with the idiots at the UN as rubber stamp artists. There is no impetus for us to be their other than once again the liberal chicken hawks and their rino pals in the defense industry (McCain pimping for them with Graham). The “rebels” ARE al-qaeda— and there is nothing to support us helping them. Disgusting.
