As long as Assad of Syria still holds at the top?


Syria has one of the largest chemical weapons arsenals in the world. Assad had upgraded chemical to nuclear weapons to counter Israel's something. That is why Israel warns as always these days before the Syrian weapons of mass destruction. The arsenal of Syria includes virtually the entire range of chemical warfare by the deadly contact poison mustard gas that is corrosive to the skin, about cyanide, leading to suffocation, to the nerve agents sarin and VX, in very small doses are immediately fatal.
The prominent Syrian defector Nawaf al-Fares, Assad's last ambassador to Iraq, warned that the regime was fighting against his opponents ready for anything. Assad was actually used chemical weapons against its own people, but he would have to take into account dramatic political and military consequences. Domestically, he is likely to strengthen the opposition, at least morally, and sow more doubt among the members of his regime. In addition, internationally would immediately raise the question of military intervention to protect the Syrian population. Above all, President Barack Obama during the campaign would come under strong political pressure to intervene militarily if need be without a resolution of the UN Security Council in Syria.

Assad would also expect that his last remaining ally, Russia, China and possibly Iran, fall away from him. Whether Moscow and Beijing would agree to an intervention, however, is highly doubtful. But so far blocked by the two veto powers sanctions against Assad had used chemical weapons after a much better chance.

Notwithstanding the plans Assad presents with increasing disintegration of the regime, the question of how dangerous guns can be secured. There are unconfirmed reports that Jordanian special forces could take over this task with the support of the United States. But, according to military experts will be needed only 75,000 troops to guard the chemical weapons depots.
