The likelihood that Syrian President Bashar Assad would make use of chemical warfare or hand such weapons over to Hezbollah has diminished significantly in recent days, according to a top official in Jerusalem.

Citing data from Western intelligence agencies, the official said that the Syrian regime does not intend to employ the chemical weapons in its possession. Moreover, it is taking great care to make sure that the arsenal doesn't fall into the hands of any group outside the Syrian army.

Unlikely? Famous last words.

Also from the article......

Syria has produced large quantities of chemical warfare agents, and is also in possession of large stockpiles of mustard gas, which were evidently handed over to Syria by Iraq in 2003.

[Cue sound effect of needle dragging over record] Wait.....what?

.....which were evidently handed over to Syria by Iraq in 2003.

Hmmmm.....somewhere, Ogden Nash is smiling.

The last thing Assad wants right now is to engage Israel. His forces are spread all over Syria. My guess is Assad assured the Israeli’s they would not be targeted. So we are in a stalemate. Expect a staged false flag event to break the stalemate.
