"You can't use chemicals to kill your own people, you have to do it organically. America and the world want to make sure that Assad only uses locally-sourced long-range lead ordnance."
I think he's slightly mistaken to ask who would control the chemical weapons in a failed Syria, Syria is a lot more failed with Assad in charge than it would be if the revolution succeeds. He makes a point at the end that America is using a limited strike to prove its dick isn't small. Yes, but it will be the continuing instability promoted by a dying régime that would make Western intervention more likely if the revolution remains unsupported, rather than some inexorable leap when the limited strikes fail to do more than distract us from the possibility of useful action.
