The Syrian Rebels recently used Chlorine gas against Syrian troops. So WMD's are out of the bag and many governments are gonna be falling.

There is a big question mark about who used gas on whom. My bet is that what we predicted months ago that zero's thug/terrorists aka freedom fighters are the ones who used the gas not Assads people. Assad would indeed have to be suicidal/brain dead to use gas now after sitting on it for decades.He of all people knows what happens if he uses gas.

The uproar over possible Chlorine use must mask something more. Chlorine is a low grade chemical agent. It has been used in bush wars for decades. The Italians used against the Ethiopians, the Soviets against Islamic resistance in Central Asia in the 20’s and 30’s and later in Afghanistan after the 1979 intervention. The Egyptians , probably with Soviet technical help, used it against the royalists in Yemen in the 60’s and of course it was massively used by Iraq in the endless war with Iran. The WMD uproar must be related to good evidence that the Assad regime procured Sarin/Tabun or something worse from China via Iran or maybe North Korea. Having those agents in the hands of Hezbollah would make something possibly happen that would trigger at least a limited Israeli nuclear retaliation for some obvious historical reasons.
