Or just leave them alone.russia, being well schooled in the art of running puppet regimes, and letting their attack dogs do their dirty work (yeah yeah israel. pretend america and israel dont see eye to eye on everything for once, in other words, embrace reality...)
russia will simply give assad MORE chems, gve the rebels more chems, and let them waste each other and if there happens to be an "accident" in chechnya, well so much the better.
the russians gassed the afghans, the russians gave saddam chemical weapons and experts to teach him how to use it, sponsored his nuclear program, assist the iranians in their mad delusions of power, and otherwise make themselves a nuisance to everybody in the mid east for no apparent reason than to stymie US goals in the region.
and these are the guys you want handling this issue?
the solution is simple, if assad used gas, (and the evidence says he did) then he should face consequences. likewise the evidence is inescapable that the "rebels" (and by that i mean international jihadjis looking to topple one more asshole who was not quite asshole enough for their purposes) also were trucking in chems by the boatload. assad just seems to have been the first to shout "Pull My Finger!" and let one rip.
the solution:
EMBARGO.
no shipments of anything, not food, not "medicine" not arms, not "baby milk" not money, NOTHIN into syria, any nation that violates the mebargo gets the same embargo on them, and so on.
anyone who wants to help nutbars gas themselves is probably gonna help somebody else let a few stinkers off too, and once the gas bombs start rolling around on the open market, then everything will go to shit in a hurry.
i say blockade syria, and let them wallow in their own crapulence until they A: beg for intercession and welcome outside assistance with open arms or B: after 5-10 years when the posions have dissipated, look at this new awesome homeland for the plaestinians! they can move right in.
Citation on the conclusive evidence linking Assad to the attack?
