Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday it is likely the Syrian regime used chemical weapons, a revelation that immediately raised the question of whether a “red line” had been crossed.
Hagel was citing the assessment of the U.S. intelligence community. After he spoke, on a visit to Abu Dhabi, the Obama administration swiftly released letters to Congress that detailed this assessment. They said U.S. intelligence determined with varying degrees of confidence that “the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin.”
The White House stressed that this was not enough to confirm how the chemical was released and pressed the United Nations for a “comprehensive” investigation. President Obama has said the use of chemical weapons would be a “game-changer” in the U.S. position on intervening in the two-year-old Syrian civil war.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., suggested Thursday the “red line” had been crossed.
