Why would the Syrian Govt or its elements use chemical weapons, when they know it is the "red line"?

Why would they use chemical weapons,when they know it would lead to a lot of collateral damage and an erosion of their support?

Why would they use them, when they are already winning the war?

What would the so-called govt elements gain by taking such a huge risk?

It seems ridiculous that Assad or even govt elements, would gas their own people. These news articles are merely for propaganda purposes and the eventual aim is money and power for the elites by making war.


I've been wondering about this as well... KansDem Sep 2013 #1
