US President Barack Obama has warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad he will face "consequences" if he uses chemical weapons against his people.
"The world is watching. The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable," said Mr Obama.
A Syrian official has insisted it would "never, under any circumstances" use such weapons, "if such weapons exist".
Meanwhile, the United Nations says it is pulling "all non-essential international staff" out of Syria.
As many as 25 out of 100 international staff could leave this week, the UN news agency Irin reported, while all humanitarian missions outside Damascus will be halted for the time being.

I don't think Assad will be dumb enough to use chemical warfare, although he did say he wanted to go down with the "ship" if the rebels ever won.

Military budget has been cut pretty hard and Obama will be cutting it more, unless a war brews up which will make it impossible to cut again. Tough tough times ahead for Obama.
