re: #188 Charles Johnson

No boots on the ground in respect to the civil war. IOW, not going to take sides. But it does sound like he’s allowing for troops to secure/eliminate chemical/biological weapons sites. We’re talking about 1,000 tons* (more or less depending on source, Israel estimates higher, others lower) of chemical weapons, spread out over multiple sites.

Snatching them to get them out of the country for dismantling - at say Johnson Atoll, isn’t going to be easy, and will require significant amounts of security. It wont be a small mission either, due to the need to provide security and considering threats from all sides.
