Fears of the worst possible scenario in Syria have been confirmed in a video released by rebels that shows victims of chemical warfare.
WARNING: The video should not be shown to children without parental agreement.

An almost sure sign that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has unleashed his chemical weapons for use against rebels is his regime’s claim on Saturday that rebels are preparing to use chemicals in their uprising. Assad systematically has accused opposition forces, which he labels as “foreign terrorists,” of carrying out attacks and murders for which his own loyalists are responsible.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Saturday there was evidence the Damascus government could actually employ chemical weapons stocks in the conflict which a rights group says has killed at least 42,000 people in nearly 21 months.
The Obama administration is bound to be tested this week on its treat to intervene militarily if signs continue to show that chemical weapons are already being used in Syria.
If President Barack Obama thought that his warning would be enough to stop Assad, he apparently is mistaken. Assad knows that if he does not defeat the opposition, his fate is death, and probably in a way no more humane than his brutal suppression of the uprising if not in a way similar to that of his old friend, Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
Military intervention would have far-reaching repercussions especially, in Iran, a last holdout in Assad’s collapsing support.

W-w-w-what?
Does the video say “A New World Order Production” at the end?
The video that supposedly provoked the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. Innocence of Moslems. It’s a trailer of a crude film with plenty of really insulting stuff about Mohammed, except it’s all based on their own books.
Ah. I have only heard of it, but not seen it.
Syria has invaded Belgium?!
It’s well worth a ten-minute investment of time. See it. It’s funny as hell, and available on You Tube.
Clearly not sarin, but maybe mustard gas.
Not burns. Swelling too uniform in color and area.
I think they have! And we must join the fight and make the world safe for democracy!
2004 study by the US, under Bush, determined that Iraq had destroyed its WMD stockpiles in 1991.
Syria is one of six states that have not signed and eight that have not ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is capable, and has produced, its own chemical weapons. It didn't need any from Iraq.
In 2001 the CIA reported that: Syria sought CW-related precursors and expertise from foreign sources during the reporting period. Damascus already has a stockpile of the nerve agent sarin, and it would appear that Syria is trying to develop more toxic and persistent nerve agents.
no, innocent Arab people are not capable of handling nerve agents ~ it’s all a Democrat lie ~ these weapons do not exist ~ nobody has made them ~ they aren’t there ~ Saddam is innocent ~ Assad is innocent ~ (/s)
Obama to Assad,” You didn’t make those chemical weapons
all by yourself...”
who ya gonna believe? Muzzie terrorists, presstitutes, or the Prez of the USA...?
Ahah..! I caught you looking dizzy, didn’t I....?
What if the whole Libya thing was us actually sending chemical weapons to Syria?
It looks staged to me
So, let's say they figured out how to make nuclear land mines ~ and that's what we were shipping to Syria.
They had already procured them from Saddam Hussein...who originally got them from us.
