So we're back to a showy but ultimately harmless smack to the face of the projected winner. I just don't see that being worth the thousands of civilian casualties this could produce.

Just for the record, lets say you are right ...
Where are these chemical weapons going to wind up?
In the hands of the friends of Syria?
or in the hands of the rebel commanders?
Sooner or later (2018 is Israel's 70th anniversary of statehood)
they will be used against Israel, the common enemy of all non
Jewish settlers in the region.
