Al-Jazeera Video:Syria calling upon heavier weapons



"On Thursday, President Barack Obama agreed to expand the level of US military support for the Syrian rebels. The decision comes after the White house said it had conclusive evidence chemical weapons were being used by the Assad government; an act president Obama has repeatedly described as crossing a Red Line. We ask if the implication of the US to stop Assad's regime from using chemical weapons can shift the balance on the ground. To discuss the latest developments, Inside Syria, with presenter Fauziah Ibrahim, discusses with guests: Khaled Saleh, Head of the Media Office of the Syrian National Coalition; Mark Kimmitt, a Former US State Department official under President George W. Bush and a retired Brigadier General who also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East; and Ammar Waqqaf, a Syrian political activist."
