About Syria and chemical weapons

Syria always denied that it had chemical weapons or that it was preparing to use these weapons it does not have. And the world always knew this was a lie. After the current rebellion began in 2011 there were increasing reports of activity around bunkers said to hold Syrian chemical weapons and that some of the chemicals were being loaded into bombs, artillery shells, or some of the several hundred ballistic missile warheads. Once that loading is done the bombs, shells, or warheads must be used soon because these containers are more subject to leakage than the industrial type storage tanks the mustard or nerve gas is normally kept in. The Syrians did use these weapons several times, against rebel fighters and civilians. Outrage at that caused Syria to surrender its chemical weapons.
