The problem is that the terrorist insurgents (Jabhat al-Nusra) have overrun at least two WMD faclities in the north. And since our great Fuhrer has decided to label Jabhat a terrorist organization, that gives Assad the green light to fire everything he has at them. So scuds will work in a situation where terrorist have control of a WMD facility and the US/NATO are providing air cover. Which they probably are now in the north. At least within the range of the Patriot batteries.

Also the “insurgents” like to take cover in “Christian” neighborhoods so as to conveniently dispose of their mortal enemy through collateral damage.
