More disturbing news, not sure what to make of it.
Western intel sources have been reporting that Syrian forces who are charged with chemical weapons tasks have been put on alert, or given warning orders, to be prepared or prepare.
Other sources suggest that shells and bombs are being prepped for chemical weaponization, or are infact being loaded with sarin.
At the least, President Obama has spoken to the media with a message for Assad, telling him of the world's disapproval, blah blah blah, and "there will be consequences." I suppose he had to say something.
What gets me is that if Assad is in very desperate straights, and he and his inside circle think they need chem weapons, then things are getting worse, not better, in Syria.
The mad colonel in Libya indicated that he'd go down swinging.
Well, Assad may be taking the same approach.
Maybe if his allies, like Iran, were to speak up very publicly that chemical weapons need to be left untouched there might be a response.
How does anyone from the outside stop him from using them?
I don't think anyone can.
Is that infamous UN No Fly Zone move about to be tried?
