Syria moves chemical weapons, White House warns of crossing 'red line'
The Syrian government began to move its chemical weapons in recent days, senior U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News, prompting new warnings from the Obama administration that using those weapons against the population would cross a "red line." One senior U.S. official told Fox News "there are concerns about possible preparations for use" of the weapons, though "we don't know yet if they plan to use them." The official added, "There are troubling signs of late." The confirmation came as both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney issued new warnings to Syria. "As the opposition makes strategic advances and grows in strength, the Assad regime has been unable to halt the opposition's progress through conventional means," Carney said Monday.

"They will be held accountable by the United States and the international community if they use chemical weapons or fail to meet their obligation to secure them." Carney would not say whether the movement of weapons by itself could cross the so-called red line. Clinton, in Prague for meetings with Czech officials, also reiterated President Obama's declaration that Syrian action on chemical weapons was a "red line" ... |

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
