#1 Might defeat the intended goal of the rebels if the UN inspectors were to discover that the alleged chemical weapons were delivered via homemade rockets vs Russian artillery shells.

To me, the line that makes sense that the Syrians got carried away with some of Saddam's extra nerve gas and tried to cover it up. They should have called in the UN right away. It would have crushed any sympathy the rebels might have locally and internationally if they were found to be the culprits. Instead, Pencilneck chose to deny the UN and try to destroy any evidence with artillery barrages.

#6 Yeah, wait until the place is a complete hell-hole of marauders, bandits and assorted nutcases, THEN move in. Because they'll all obviously cooperate.

Good plan, Einstein.

I'm with the Russkies on this one - stay the hell out.
