Meaning Obama’s “red line” has officially been crossed, paving the way for weapons shipments to begin.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime has used chemical weapons against the opposition seeking to overthrow him, U.S. officials said Thursday, crossing what President Barack Obama has called a ‘red line’ that would trigger greater American involvement in the crisis.

The officials said earlier intelligence assessments that indicated Assad likely used such weapons had now been corroborated. However, the officials said the administration has not determined how it will respond. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly ahead of an expected White House announcement of the finding.

Obama has said repeatedly that the use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” and constitute a “game changer” for U.S. policy on Syria, which until now has focused entirely on providing the opposition with nonlethal assistance and humanitarian aid.

Congress was also being notified of the chemical weapons determination on Thursday in classified documents sent to Capitol Hill, the officials said

Update: Unclear if it’s weapons or more of the “non-lethal” equipment we’ve been sending them.

I don't know about anyone else, but if Zero said "the sun rises in the east and sets in the west", I'd ask for a second or even third opinion. Just sayin'

When did Syria build chemical weapon facilities?

Where did Syria get WMDs.

I'd like to know "what kind of chemicals" they were ??

I am sure the "day late and had to read it in the newspaper" POS - in chief knows !!

Any relationship with these chemicals and the Kurds ??

Such disclosure will never be made known because it would discredit the "Bush Lied" mantra that Obama and the Lefties have worked so hard at for years !!

Screw Obama, again !!

Hell, we also "heard" the Iraqi General telling media outlets that the chemicals were on those trucks heading into Syria. But of course it was downplayed, hushed up, and widely "discredited!"
