The rebel army is claiming that the loyalist army is now using gas/chemical weapons in areas populated with civilians.
The loyalists claim that the rebels are responsible and setting them up. I read an article last year where a government official claimed to have intelligence indicating that the rebels would deploy such a strategy.
Syrian leaders have agreed to UN inspections of alleged gas attacks/sites.
IMO, we should stay out of it until that investigation is complete and let the UN do its job. If gas is indeed being used, the US should work with other UN countries to determine the appropriate action.
Until it's clear what's really going on, I don't think it's wise to take sides or retaliatory action.
