NOW THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS "OFFICIALLY" CONFIRMED THAT THE SYRIAN "RED LINE" HAS INDEED BEEN CROSSED, NOW COMES THE NEXT PHASE...NATO INTERVENTION.
OF COURSE, WITHIN THE NEXT PHASE COMES THE COUNTER ACTION BY RUSSIA AND CHINA WHICH WILL INCLUDE MILITARY AND FINANCIAL COUNTERS AGAINST THE WEST.
THE WORLD WAR CONTINUES TO UNFOLD, SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

The United States working with European allies has concluded that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons against the rebels killing up to 150 people, a top US official has said.
The White House said on Thursday that the casualty data was likely incomplete and that it had no reliable, corroborated
information to suggest that the Syrian opposition in the country's civil war had acquired chemical weapons.
"Our intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year," deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said on Thursday.
He said that the "intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date."
Rhodes said in a written statement that the Syrian government’s refusal to grant access to the United Nations to investigate credible allegations of chemical weapons use had prevented a comprehensive investigation as called for by the international community.
The White House said in a statement issued late on Thursday that the use of chemical weapons "violates international norms and crosses clear red lines".
