I’m willing to accept at face value the idea that CW were used by the Assad regime. Even with a few holes in the story, it is much more compelling than the Iraq story was back in 2001/2002.

My sticking point is what is the mission? If we aren’t going to strike hard enough to alter the balance in the civil war, what is the point? If we are going to go in hard, what’s the post-Assad plan?
