Thanks kristinn.
latest info from around the net includes:
-Russia stepping up defenses at their Syrian base and some troops placed on “war alert”
-Jordan says “No thanks” and will sit this one out
-Isreal calls up reserves, requests for gas masks by public increases
-Former US Naval commander says “we’re not ready to fight there”
-There were some fringe reports of another use of chemical weapons in a Damascus suburb of Huhrer (spelling?) and a large explosion near the presidential palace. Also reports that several rebels more aligned with regional terrorists groups had been injured by chemical weapons contact and were now in a Lebanese hospital. Strangely, they had been evacuated from a tunnel in the suburbs of Damascus and not with all the other victims. Were they the ones that handled the rebel’s chemical weapons stash and unleashed it? Accidently exposed?
