This seems to be a bit of a disturbing piece of news, that they've admitted to having chemical weapons.

Thing is the president or whatever of Syria says:
"No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria," he said. "All of these types of weapons are in storage and under security and the direct supervision of the Syrian armed forces and will never be used unless Syria is exposed to external aggression."
The problem with this statement, is from what I've read in this article, he considers this civil war to be instigated by external forces..... in which case, his people are in grave danger. To top that off I read in another article he has a bit of a god complex.
That being said I don't necessarily completely trust the media, especially it's apparent efforts to try to get us into another war like in Iran, but in this case this would seem to be a situation of "you cant make this sh** up".
