Bob Rigg, formerly of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, says Obama's claim that the Syrian army used chemical weapons is fatally flawed. He fears stepped-up US military involvement could intensify and prolong the civil war, increasing human misery and the toll on civilian lives - and says humanitarian considerations are being subordinated to US military and strategic self-interest.
