By Samuel Burke, CNN
Evidence of chemical weapons use gets harder to find with each passing day in Syria.
The Assad regime is blocking U.N. special investigators from entering the country as the Obama administration continues to seek concrete proof.
“It is publicly known that Syria has the largest active chemical weapons program in the world," President Obama's former chief adviser on all matters relating to weapons of mass destruction, Gary Samore, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday. FULL POST

Syrian opposition PM: Arm us, not the extremists
By Samuel Burke, CNN
If the West doesn’t arm the Free Syrian Army, extremist groups will take hold of the war-torn country. That’s the assessment of Syrian opposition leader Ghassan Hitto, who in past weeks, went from being a Texas-based I.T. executive to prime minister of the Syrian National Coalition, Syria’s government in exile.
“Do we wait until thousands and thousands more of Hezbollah fighters continue to pour into Syria? Do we wait for more Iranian soldiers and Iranian influence in the region?” Hitto said to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday.
Hitto is a Syrian-American who's just been appointed the first interim prime minister of the Syrian opposition. He has temporary headquarters in Istanbul, but told Amanpour he'll soon name his government and move into Syria.

Israel: We do not hide our red lines
By Samuel Burke, CNN
Syria may call Israel’s airstrikes near Damascus this weekend a "declaration of war," but if you ask Israeli officials, it's all overblown.
"There are no winds of war," Israeli commander Yair Golan told reporters while out on a jog.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn't even in Israel – he’s in Beijing – adding to the impression that all is in hand.
Indeed, Israel is bending over backward to convince Syria that it was simply going after Hezbollah-bound arms from Iran, and that its airstrikes were not to support the rebels.
Still, dozens of Syrian soldiers were killed, according to the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, citing medical sources.
“Nobody in Israel wants another war with Syria – this is not the intention,” the former head of Israel’s internal security service, Ami Ayalon, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. Israel, he said, simply felt it had no alternative. FULL POST
Amidst outrage, South Africa confronts Mandela’s mortality
By Samuel Burke, CNN
Each time Nelson Mandela enters the hospital, the whole world holds its breath – fearing the worst.
Mandela hadn’t been seen in public since his latest brush with ill health last month. But now he's emerged in pictures taken at his home on Monday, flanked by current leaders of his African National Congress party, including South African President Jacob
Rather than comforting, though, the pictures have sparked outrage on social media in the Rainbow Nation.
Zuma and the other leaders are accused of exploiting the ailing leader, putting a frail and uncomfortable 94-year old on public display.
The incident comes on top of Mandela's own family mining his legacy. His granddaughters appear in a reality show called "Being Mandela," in which the family shows the business of Mandela-branded wines and clothing lines.
Eusebius McKaiser is a South African political analyst and an expert in moral philosophy, and he says neither the photos of Mandela nor the outrage surprise him.
