Of what use are Syria’s Chemical weapons and when does Assad intend to use them?

Assad is fighting a Rebel insurgency led by Al Qaeda. According to some he is losing. If the Chemical weapons are to be used, why not use them now? Why is he keeping them waiting until his regime is destroyed. Are they his weapons of last resort? A weapon one is frightened to use is of no use except for a suicidal attack.

Why would he move them? Is he saving them for someone else to use?

The idea of chemical weapons appears to be a stupid one to me unless there is some plan to use them. Or is he just saving them for other Muslims to use against Israel?

CS gas—legal chemical weapon

we have tons of it

why keep them? Probably to sell to Libya Somolia etc, are you forgetting they have instrinsic value

just turn over the ones that are a hassle to UN peacekeepers

and let’s not lose sight of the fact that al quaida clearly possesses and uses chemical weapons——they get to keep theirs and Assad has to turn over his? Really?

This General is a liar and a schemer and I hope he reaps what he sows which is death and destruction
