Syria

Chlorine probably has such a small size that it can penetrate any normal air filter. It would require a sealed air supply. Even then chlorine oxidizes (rusts) a lot of materials.

You can do it with an extra filter. But I suspect the gas mask starts to be too clumpsy at that point.

Anyway back to my question. The theory was that it's the rebels who used gas and why the US is then jumping on Assad instead of the rebels. I do get feeling that this is a big mess and the US is trying to get something half decent out of it long term.

Using chemical weapons is a big no no (the NBC list is there for a reason), so that it's forcing a severe response is not surprising.

A lot of the rebels are ex-army, they could have exactly the same stuff. Obama really spoke before his turn. Who are the rebels anyway, group of rebels just stole weapons from other rebels, American guy was captured and tortured by rebels, escaped, and other rebels patched him up and handed him over to the American embassy. Who is who I doubt anyone really knows

Obama’s support seems to be dropping but that could just speed up the process.

Awesome, Kurdish whole female Syrian militia says: screw both the regime and the rebels. I'm in love with every one of them.

I would like to thank the British parliamentarians for voting "nay" on the military action. Your vote might be just enough to tip the scales here in the states firmly against any intervention. Cheers to torpedoing a pointless war before it had a chance to start. Well done.

Wait a minute... You're willing to drag America into a needless war just to settle scores with the GOP?

[Rhyfelwyr]

I really hope these war plans get shut down, I can only wonder what is motivating Cameron right now.

I hope GC that Obama doesn't go through with this.

Otherwise you might get a chance to update that profile pic in another forum wearing a gas mask in a tank... You need to finish that polish campaign in space.

Ya, as if the senseless intervention in Libya wasn't stupid enough. Piss off I don't want war

Once again the UK shows it is more in control of its country than Americans.
