I have been attempting to stay away from anything political lately, but this thought shot through my cranium on the way to work: Chem weapons, if developed properly, are much more efficient and less destructive than conventional bombs and bullets. Plus, they are actually “Green Warfare.” It takes a lot less fossil fuels to rebuild after a chem attack than a regular or “smart bomb” raid.
I would think chemical weapons would be the weapon of choice in a civil war.
Just a tid-bit of information we are not hearing much about from Syria: There are two major gas pipelines that both Russia and ourselves are deeply interested in. Makes you go HMMM?

If the pipelines go through the stan countries to Russia’s south it has no control. If it goes through Syria it does . Matter of price regulation get more $ from western Europe.

Think there are some businesses involved too. Carl, give me some time to dig around and find some hard facts. Heck, soft facts might work also:)
