The US Administration has now found evidence that the Syrian
army made use – “limited use” – of chemical weapons.
This is, for the Americans, the crossing of a red line.
Washington has therefore decided to provide military assistance to the rebels'
Supreme Military Council (SMC) and Syrian Opposition Coalition.
It is yet unclear what that type of assistance the new
development entails. Things will become much clearer in the next days. What is
clear today is that the rebellions are under serious pressure from the Assad
troops. Only massive and urgent aid from the outside world might be able to
save them. Or, I do not thing that President Obama is thinking of anything that
might be massive and urgent. In that case, any low-grade military assistance at
this stage will not change the current trend on the ground.
