You keep saying that Assad was winning and that is some sort of proof he wouldn't use his chemical questions. Great example of "rabbit reasoning" - just hop from one conclusion to another. Some people exceed the speed limit because they are running late so in a hurry. But lots of people speed for other reasons or no reason at all. So to - even if Syrian Goverment forces are winning doesn't mean they will restrict what weapons they will use.
But then who says they are winning?
What do you base this "Assad is winning" on? If you look at the uprising from beginning to now, Assad winning doesn't hold up. The civil war war has been going on for what, 2.5 years now? The goverment forces managed to retake some rebel held areas in offensives waged April to June of this year. But since then the government forces have actually lost some pretty big fights, including the Menagh Miliatry Airbase and with the rebel capture of Kanasir the rebels have virtually cut off the city of Aleppo.
Assad's forces are not winning. At great cost they push the rebels out of one area - only to lose nother. The FSA now controls enough area that they have moved their headquarters out of Turkey into Syria.
Assad's forces aren't winning. They are very slowly LOSING. Being worn down. The FSA is recognized as the legitimate goverment by the Arab League. Goverment forces, while they still have the ability, have tried to deliver a knock out punch by way of using chemical WMD.
And they will be punished for doing so.
