It's Official: Kerry Says Assad Used Chemical Weapons

[dilloduck]

It's a civil war. Why are we involved in another civil war ? And you know you is on the side that opposes Assad ? Al Qaeda and other radical Islamist fighters from countries all over the mid east ( and even further ). Why did we decide to back the rebels long before any gas was used ?

Yes, there are laws. The 1925 Geneva Protocol outlaws the use of chemical and biological weapons, and the Chemical Weapons Convention, implemented in 1997, bans the development, production, stockpiling and use of poison gas.

But chemical weapons don’t always change the game politically. Consider the Iran-Iraq war. U.N. investigators found traces of mustard gas in soil and bomb fragments and examined dozens of soldiers with symptoms of mustard gas exposure. They concluded that Iraq had repeatedly used poison gas against Iran. When photographs of streets littered with bodies in the Kurdish town of Halabja appeared in 1988, the world suspected Iraq had gassed Kurdish civilians as well. In the wake of the Iranian hostage crisis, however, Washington’s sympathies were with Iraq. At a 1989 conference on chemical weapons, world powers did not even censure, much less punish, Iraq.

I am totally at a loss as to why we are so hot and bothered to attack. The only answer I can come up with is Barry mentioned the dreaded red line never believing Assad would use WMD and now he has to save face.
