    I must admit I'm still working the red wine through my system, and your posts have been a little wordy... I haven't read them closely, just skimmed them, sorry

    But yeah. In order to organize a chemical attack, you must have at least:
    1. A (relatively) safe storage area.
    2. Effective transportation lines.
    3. A functioning means of communication.
    4. A means of delivery.

    Which side has that?

    And to counter Sarmatian's post: just because Assad cannot flush out the rebels doesn't automatically mean they have the capabilities to enact complicated attacks. The US is incapable of flushing out the Taliban, yet I highly doubt they have the capability to orchestrate a chemical attack.

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
