Regarding the Syria Chemical Weapons issue, Storm Clouds Gathering has a video on the subject. I don't know how much of the information in the video to trust, but I sure as heck mistrust about everything regarding the US military/CIA.

He does make some good points. Why would Assad decide, "Hey the US is breathing down my neck, looking for an excuse to curbstomp me and my country into submission. How about I use chemical weapons against my own civilians, since I know it won't lead to the US coming after me, even though they came after me before for doing the exact some thing?"

But the whole thing about how chemical weapons are the last straw, always did make me roll my eyes. Apparently all the other means used to slaughter innocents en masse, are just a pleasure to be killed by. You can use conventional weapons, starve, and torture your citizens any way you like, but God help you if you use chemical weapons!
