What do you think that would entail? Can we afford to allow those chemical weapons to find their way into terrorist hands.
The easiest way to keep that from happening is to let Assad win as soon as possible.

There is a great deal of difference between the compactness, reliability, deployability, and lethality of a chemical device cobbled together in some terrorist's basement, and military chemical munition.
A chemical artillery shell detonating in subway would be totally different in likely result from the paper package enclosing a chemistry experiment that was smuggled aboard the Tokyo subway.
