You are so right, and this is not about helping the little guy cause if so why didn't they when they have stated chemical weapons have been used already 14 times? Why now? So many unanswered questions and behind the door intelligence we are not being told about. This intervention is not going to be good, and the USA should just back out and look for a different solution.

This should give you a basic idea of what they are concerned about and why it is now such a big concern.

Guardian

Today the British Medical Association (BMA) will release a report on the use of drugs as weapons, marking the third time it has examined the militarisation of medicine and its potential for waging a new form of warfare. The subject has been an issue for at least a decade, but its highly technical nature has kept it out of the public eye.

Meanwhile, military interest in incapacitating biochemical weapons has grown, as the capabilities of pharmaceutical companies have been transformed by developments such as the unravelling of the genome. What once were seen as distinct chemical and biological processes - the function of the lungs or the brain - can now be targeted with increasing precision.

There was this nice little bit though..

The convention does not permit the use of riot agents for waging war. However, "law enforcement" is undefined; and the role of incapacitating agents as counter-terror weapons has opened up a significant loophole. That is being exploited by the fast-expanding field of "non-lethal weapons" - especially in the US, via the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate at the US Marine Corps' Quantico base, where incapacitating chemicals are presented as humane weapons. Drug syringes that can be fired like bullets, most often used for animal control, are now available in the commercial sector as narcotics guns.

This should give you an idea of how that research is expanding across a broader range...
Chemical Weapons Convention
The continued development of BioChemical Weapons
Pentagon's drug weapons
Syria's expanding weapons program
Syria used hallucinogen on Rebels

Agent 15 is similar to 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, a powerful hallucinogen that the American military tested out on its own soldiers during the Cold War. Its emergence on the Syrian battlefield would be nothing short of bizarre. While Syria is well-known to have a massive supply of chemical weapons, international observers haven’t ordinarily included BZ on that list.

Over the years, there have been rumors of BZ being used on a battlefield — including one that Iraqi insurgents were dosing themselves with the drug to pump up their aggressiveness. If the cable is accurate, this would be the first confirmed case of BZ employed as a weapon. At the moment, however, the cable’s claims are not confirmed.

They say it is one of the reasons we invaded Iraq in 2003 and so on and so forth, so it is possible. Very possible, and there would be few places better in the world to produce this stuff then right in Syria.

They had the means, the money and the motive to do so.

thank you very much for that, I will read up on all your links. It makes sense they would want to corner a market on new ways to kill us and what better place, your right. They are all drug dealers and the deal has gone bad then? No wonder we have new viruses appearing when they are screwing with God knows what. I am signing off now, its almost 1 am here, have a good night and thank you again for that information, I will be reading it.

One last thing, I hope you don't mind but I posted and referenced your username and your last information onto another thread about Obama going it alone, aides say just for further brainstorming as to why he is so adamant about going it alone and this possibility. Thank you again.

I agree 100% when I said the little guy I meant what the government tries to use as justification for intervention even if it's be and I should of made myself clear when I said that. I think everyone on this site knows we aren't getting involved for the human rights violations and if that really was the case we would be going to war with a heck of a lot of countries. It sucks that the lifeblood (oil) of America and other allies is located in such a screwed region even though we are to blame for it. I agree we probably know 5%-10% at most of what's really going on in Syria and I agree we need another solution. To be honest Assad is a psychopath and horrible but I doubt who ever the rebels put in his place will be much better, heck they will probably be worse.

exactly, so one can only assume the powers that be are intentionally destabilising the region and its pure EVIL. So the economy is bust,, let's remake the system, based on a more representative democracy, with more referendums, where people truly have the say and are given all the facts. I'm tired of all the secrecy and lies. It's time to change things.
