mohamed val reports. >> people in aleppo are bracing for possible u.s. air strikes. many of the syrian installations like these airports are likely targets. the rebels are already drawing up plans just in case. >> we're ready for any strikes on the military airport. we normally don't wish to see foreign power raiding our airports but the regime has forced this on us. >> members of aleppo's revolutionary forces say under control. >> we have raised our level of readiness particularly around key military barracks and bases with special focus on the likely aftermath of strikes such as possible chaos and deterioration of security. >> that chaos worries civilians in aleppo who seem to be quited on support of any american attack. many are worried about the loss of more property and more lives. >> if they are coming to attack in order to help us overthrow the president then we support them. both if they are coming for another objective we will oppose them. >> we are not hoping for our country to be attacked. all that we wish for is that bashar steps down and leaves us alone.

if you're a woman in aleppo, say, seeing the family blown up by artillery shelling, you're not going take solace in the fact they weren't gassed. and it begs the question, what does victory mean with this intervention in syria? >> so why then do we draw a distinction between the united states and the president said it's a red line? why draw a red line with chemical weapons? >> i think the norm, this rule emerged and driving us in to war but really when you look at it doesn't make a lot of sense. after all, back in the 1980s we didn't enforce the rule when iraq used chemical weapons and are we really saying if assad stops using chemical weapons and goes back to killing his people with conventional weapons that's a victory? i'm certainly not getting the ticker taper out. >> talk about britain. >> sure. >> and the british parliament. the house of commons voted not to intervene. do you think it's different for the president if it has been reversed? >> this is a game-changing moment and a real shock. i think that it led obama to go to congress and seek congressional support. after all, br

now in aleppo. we managed to take control of the south of the city and we'll start pushing northwest. >> the video shows just how in control the iranian fighters are. they drive through aleppo freely, and when they pass syrian checkpoint it is clear once again that assad's army has little say about what goes on. >> where are your fighters? don't worry, don't be scared. we've deployed our forces everywhere. if there is an attack we'll confront it quickly. please, also, just so you no we've set up a checkpoint to secure the road. >> a memo posted on the wall base soldiers have been punished for driving too fast and damaging the vehicle. in this conversation another syrian soldier pleads with the iranian commander to grant them with a holiday to boost their morale. there are other bases run b by them. and it would appear that syria's civil war is more of an international conflict. al jazeera. >> we cannot get more from the professor of modern and contemporary history of the middle east and an expert on

findings from its experts who've looked into the tamil cole attack mia syria's embattled city of aleppo which killed twenty six people back in march their report suggests that rebel groups were behind the attack and to talk more about the evidence that he has already as you go to a piece of. what is most to have to support this claim and you know has this report uncovered anything new. well this is a very detailed one hundred page long report with thorough analysis of what happened in mid march in aleppo and first of all it does conclude that a chemical attack in fact did take place secondly the weapons that were used to deliver the chemicals were across the media and resemble rockets that are usually used by the rebels and secondly the the way the actual chemicals were engaged the way it was exploded was used by hex again which is not the way it's used in the syrian army so it's sort of a homemade device as well and the argument in this report is that zion was used nerve gas but the way it was produced was not in an industrial way but more of a homemade way and also there was another c

in northern syria and of aleppo in march where more than twenty five people were killed and that they did that and then we had the seizure in turkey in my of a quantity of chemical weapons from eleven members of the. brigades that trial is coming up soon so the big problem is that these people have these weapons they have to use them and how are they going to be controlled i'm not saying no indication in the international media of how that is going to be achieved i mean that was actually going to be my next question to you that see that me would this maybe propel the u.s. to actually put some boots on the in damascus to try and secure these facilities so that question of this sort of international personnel that would be sent the could this perhaps could we see the u.s. putting the boots their old boots there to try and secure these chemical weapon sites. very much with never do that because that would be extremely unpopular in the united states we know perfectly well that the american public and we know the american congress very largely is against any convolve syria and one of the p

in the northern province of aleppo, lived in iraq, the powerful or second most powerful -- disciplinedd. it captures tanks and anti-aircraft missiles from bases. as it does, the fsa, the secular-led rebel alliance, is very weak. most of its units are corrupt and they're disintegrating. that means isis is going to benefit most from any american attack. >> so you -- i think the quote, i'm paraphrasing here, what you said, that al qaeda wanted to use a volcano of revenge on the regime. is that correct? why do you say that? >> actually i didn't say that, but they will want to have a volcano of revenge against the regime because what's going to happen is the regime is going to give up isolated bases of its united states bombs such as the northern province of aleppo. when it retreats into its core areas of the coastal province around the capital of damascus, isis will be the best-placed rebel unit to take over the isolat isolated bases and move into the central provinces where it's weak and launch its final attack on the capital of damascus. >> do you think a strike would help the opposition

there is a lot of evidence that in three previous incidents that rebels did use chemical weapons in aleppo in march. for example, the russians have also revealed that in july they filed a 1 100-page report with e united nations about that march incident in aleppo, which strongly implicates the rebels in the use of sarin gas against civilians there. it's clear the russians are lining up their arguments in order to influence the debate that is going on right now at the united nations about a resolution to get this chemical webs operation in syria started. >> a lot of questions being asked about whether the u.n. security council will be able to agree on a resolution on syria that will satisfy all the parties involved. >> reporter: yes. well, the russians and the west are not only at odds over who might be responsible fors specially the august 21st chemical attack, but they're completely at odds on how to proceed with the enables resolution in the u.n. the russians say it must contain no threats of sanction or force against syria, because it would just make it impossible for the syrians to fol

assad used air power to destroy aleppo and homs and we did nothing ant it. we didn't draw a line. part of the problem for this administration is that for 30 years -- for 30 months in that dilemma, the administration didn't say much about syria. the president was virtually silent on syria. and now we have come to the syria debate with this passion. it's this newly discovered passion and we have to be honest. the syrian whom you have been talking to and dealing with, was he encouraged, was he discouraged? he was not a man who saw this new phase as a kind of bright, new spot for the syrian people. we're doing this bombing now because we said we would. we have to rescue the president of the united states. >> you think that's what it's really about? >> we have to rescue the presidency. we cannot do -- >> so this isn't about syria? you're say thing is rescuing president obama basically for an off handed remark he made about a red line a year ago? >> i don't want to go that far. i think we are doing this, all of a sudden we discovered, look, this crisis has burned and we're talking about
