Syria isn't just going to sit there and let it happen.  They will fight back. 

I'm not sure how they fight back against tomahawk missiles.

How do you picture this going down?

Hezbollah terrorists bringing some of that fun nerve gas shit across our unmanned southern border, and setting 'em off in shopping malls, football stadiums, occu-tard rallies and the like ringing any bells yet?

The difference is that O'Dumbass will theoretically be aiming for "strategically important targets": the Syrian response teams will be going for civilian body counts.

This might also be the time for some sleeper cells in the US to strike.

Syria has the support of Iran, Russia, China and Hezbollah. I don't believe they are just going to let all their air assets just sit there and get bombed.

Israel has called up all their reserves and are passing out gas masks to their people.

Too many rogue actors in Syria for nothing to happen in the way of retaliation.

Syria has a strong air defense system courtesy of Russia.

Ptarmy... is this the same "strong air defense system" that the Israeli Air Force routinely flies through to knock down nuclear reactors, chemical weapons plants, command and control nodes and the like? :fuelfire:

From what I've read and heard, the Iraqi chemical weapons were garbage and would have degraded to the point of uselessness by now.

As for who used chemical weapons in Syria, I've always thought that the rebels were more likely to use them over the Assad's forces. It doesn't make sense to me that Assad would use them as it would become a lose/lose situation for Syria with world hatred descending upon them if they did. Assad may be a ruthless dictator but he isn't stupid. The rebels, on the other hand, have many members of Al Qaeda and Islamic fundamentalists in their ranks and would love it if a chemical attack perpetrated by them would be blamed on Assad's forces. They also would have no compunction in killing innocent civilians....just look at the many terrorist actions in the past. They would consider it getting rid of more infidels or allowing them to become martyrs for Islam. As to where they would get the weapons and knowledge use them? They do control Aleppo, a rather large base for the Syrian army at the time this war started. I would imagine that there would have been a stockpile of the weapons, with manuals to use them, stored there.....hell, the rebels found a cache of 5000 Czechoslovakian made copies of the WW2 German MP44 Sturmgewehr, the grandfather of all assault rifles (would love to get my hands on one of those) in Aleppo. Also, many of the Syrian army have defected and joined the other side. I'm sure that some of those probably have the knowledge as well.

Have you ever heard of binary weapons ?
