1. There is a very strange argument included here. Quite paradoxical and interesting.

&quot I)f the rebels overrun one of these depots, there are worries about the physical control of the weapons."

This argument is so tangled. We are going to bomb Assad's regime, which will tip the scales to some degree to the rebels. Yet, one of our reasons for bombing Assad is that we are concerned that the rebels could overrun Assad and get some of these weapons. Yet, we have no actual plan to secure or destroy the weapons, just to punish Assad. And people are buying this shit?
