#2  Thinking Russian, how soon might we be reading this:

Chemical weapons preparation and storage area overrun by rebels, deadly chemical release kills dozens. US intelligence community reports both sides now possess chemical weapons capability.

#1  No kidding. Give the stuff to a Shia and point him at a Sunni. Blame the Alawites and then get Turkey and NATO to pull down Assad's pants. move a Division across the border and give it air cover.

Asshat has to do something...how about he does it in Venezuela?

Chavez is just stupid enough to let him in. Then Assad has to find a way to stay alive in Chavez' hospital hallway. Remember the Shah? He died in a Mexican toilet reading what was written on the stall door. And nobody believes in hell anymore.
