I'm not an expert in chemical weapons or Syrian geography but surely bombing a chemical weapons storage and reasearch facility would expose any chemicals to the local population?

I look forward to the Russian response, could it mean no World Cup? That would be catastrophic.

I imagine the chemicals are only poisonous when mixed in a certain combination or with other chemicals etc. I presume they won’t be stored in that dangerous state.

Or summit like that.

1) Yes, but they are in territory ruled by Assad, hence 'bad' civilians.
2) Not after they paid all that money out to to FIFA officials

A lot of these chemical weapons are binary, so it depends which part of the production process was taken out. For example, if you want to destroy a country's steel industry take out their coke ovens and the rest of the plant is useless.

I suspect that the weapons used are extremely incendiary. A chemical agent won't last long at 2000 degrees.

I suspect we just cremated the chemical agents we sold to them.
