Military officials confirmed evidence from Tuesday that deadly nerve gas, sarin, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people.

According to the report, officials said that the bombs had not been loaded, nor had Assad issued an order to use them.

However, one official said it would be difficult to stop any action if the order is given. Any attempt to bomb the stockpile would disperse the chemicals around, which could be devasting to cities, according to CNN.

These steps taken by the Assad regime follow the prediction made by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. She said the Syrian government was near collapse and would consider chemical weapons as a last resort.

"Ultimately, what we should be thinking about is a political transition in Syria and one that should start as soon as possible," Clinton said. "We believe their fall is inevitable. It is just a question of how many people have to die before that occurs.
Under these conditions, the US has treaded lightly with the Assad regime.

President Barack Obama on Monday told Assad not to use chemical weapons and NATO told the Syrian President on Tuesday that any use of chemical weapons in his fight against rebel forces would be met with an international response.

However, the US government has had to tread lightly under these conditions.

A new Syrian opposition coalition, known formally as the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary Opposition Forces, has felt pressure to quickly become a political force in the face of a possible attack on the Syrian people.

Several nations, such as Britain, Turkey and France, have recognized the coalition. Additionally, France has considered the arming the group, according to the New York Times.
