In reply to the discussion: 'War crime': U.N. finds sarin used in Syria chemical weapons attack [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)30. So you reject the report as well as rejecting the
idea that Syria's government should give up its chemical weapons and even think they have the right to use chemical weapons.
Why not save the trouble of pretending to be about principle and just make Assad your avatar? You just endorsed his regime's use of chemical weapons, which makes you a sickening troll in my humble opinion. But a jury will probably disagree.

That amount appears about right. The rest of your assertions are not well established.

Note a couple things: the report makes no mention of sarin quality - that's a claim made by the UK

A typical mid-size delivery truck is fine for transporting 3-4 of these things.

you have very good points. I hope Assad has control over what he is supposed to turn over.

Assad clearly does not have a monopoly on either these rockets or poisonous chemicals

that's a pick-up truck. The huge rocket launchers looked like semi trailers pulled by large trucks.

The al-Qaeda PU truck rockets are about 4 feet long. The ones used on 8/21 are 6'6"

It falls under Chapter 6 with a "further measures" recommendation for Chapter 7.

I just think they should be able to trade them in. Really, I have doubts of their cost efficiency

The US should consider providing more food and medical aid to Syria through the UN.
