[quote]There is a "high probability" that Syria deployed chemical weapons in the ongoing civil war, but final verification is needed, the chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee told CNN Tuesday.
"I have a high probability to believe that chemical weapons were used," Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We need that final verification, but given everything we know over the last year and a half, I would come to the conclusion that they are either positioned for use, and ready to do that, or in fact have been used."
Rogers and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, struck ominous tones in an interview on CNN's Situation Room about the possibility that Syria had crossed what President Barack [b]Obama has said was a 'red line' that could lead to the United States getting involved militarily in the conflict.[/b][/quote]
Uh-oh
Bungie, how do you think the U.S. should respond if Assad used chemical weapons?

Personally, I hope this doesn't happen. Our economy is already over burdened, so I don't think that we could sustain a large scale intervention that Syria would require.
