Compose a 2750 words assignment on impact of congressional resolutions on syrian chemical attack. Needs to be plagiarism free! Opposition rebels were making advances into the suburbs of the Markaz Rif district and the government looked overwhelmed, with Damascus facing an imminent threat against the rebel forces that sought to overthrow the government through the Arabian crisis (Blanchard, Christopher, Carlo and Mary 1).

In response, the government used rockets containing the chemical weapon sarin to attack rebel forces together with innocent civilians killing over 280 people and injuring more than 1700. The actions of the government shocked the world and increased attention to the conflict that was going on in the country as no chemical weapon has been used before since the end of the Iran-Iraq crisis. The United States government investigated the issues and a report was published by the United States congress which blamed the government for using the nerve agent chemical weapon against harmless and unarmed civilians. President Obama and his administration showed the willingness to take military actions against the Syrian government either through direct attacks or by providing military aid to the rebels in order to stifle the operations of the government (Blanchard, Christopher, Carlo, and Mary 1).

The report released by the United States Congress on the use of chemical weapons in 2013 in Syria had massive impacts on the policies of the United States government and the direction of the Syrian internal conflict (Zeiler and Robert 216).

The Ghouta suburbs close to Damascus is composed of Sunni conservatives and is home to more than three million people who the Assad regime believes are funding the rebel forces. The decision of civilians in the eastern parts of the suburb which is held by the opposition rebels to take their side has given the Assad government illegitimate reasons to use all forms of forces and destabilize the opposition. Control of the region by the opposition since 2012 has cut the Syrian government from accessing the hinterland, a situation that contributed to the use of chemical weapons in august of 2013.
