The Syrian regime remains able to conduct chemical attacks, though only at a limited level, the Pentagon has said following last week's international cruise missile strikes on chemical weapons-related targets. "They will have the ability to conduct limited attacks in the future," McKenzie told Pentagon reporters yesterday. Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said there was no indication the Assad regime was preparing to launch another chemical weapons attack. "Assad must know the world will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons under any circumstances," she said. The three-star general added the Syrian regime had now returned to a "state of normalcy."
