Re: Consider the source(s) of your beliefs about Syria and Assad

"No one in their right minds would use poison gas in Syria except as a false flag operation."

Don't assume everyone who uses poison has is in their right mind. Plus, what if it's being used strategically on the assumption it will be interpreted as a false flag attack when it's really not? "I know you I know," eh?

"Its tactically almost useless and strategically a disaster."

Please specify why, particularly in regards to a target population/area the user cares little about, meaning indiscriminate casualties don't matter.

"It has marginal use as a terrorist weapon."

But what about as a state weapon? Again, against a target the leader doesn't care about.
