Obama Says Chemical Weapons Use by Syria ?Red Line? for U.S. - Bloomberg
President Barack Obama said any discovery that Syrias chemicals or biological weapons are being moved or used may force him to reconsider U.S. military action.

If he is waiting for a Youtube of Assad issuing an order to use chemical weapons then he will never act. Which is what Assad is counting on."We dont know how they were used, when they were used, who used themwe dont have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened," Obama told reporters during the hastily announced question-and-answer session in the White House briefing room. "Ive got to make sure Ive got the facts." Newsflash: we will never know exactly what happened.
