Syria has no problem using chemical weapons on its populace. Including 1,300 in Ghouta. But America says NO. And, on the off chance that Syria DID use CW, we would most CERTAINLY say "NO" again. If these attacks keep up, they're in for a rude frown...
• The Take-Away: In December 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said “we are certainly planning to take action” if Assad used chemical weapons. A year ago, President Obama said that by “moving” much less using chemical weapons, Assad would be crossing a “red line.”
We now know that both pledges were meaningless. So does Assad. From Homs to Jobar and now Ghouta, he has made a mockery of Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton while heightening his savagery. As we say in the military, “I say again:” Chemical weapons use in Syria is not rare but common, and there is no “red line.”
Full story can be found here: Chemical Weapons Kill Some 1,300 in Syria; Iran/Hezbollah Involvement Likely. I especially like the part where it says "Our front line is only as far east as Martha's Vineyard".
