“Based on the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured, witness accounts, and other facts,” a senior administration official tells ABC News, “There is very little doubt at this point that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in this incident. We are continuing to assess the facts so the President can make an informed decision about how to respond to this indiscriminate use of chemical weapons.”
Originally posted by phantomjack We are being lied to. Assad would not use chemical weapons -- he doesnt have to! He has plenty of conventional weapons at his disposal. Why would he risk being "taken out" by this rogue US White house that has taken out Mubarak, Quadafi, and even Hussein? 3 Dictators taken out so far. and now a forth?
The White House or TPTB want this guy dead or exile or imprisoned because IMHO he is standing in someone's way of something. Is he standing in the way of taking down IRAN? Syria is heavily armed. Syria would stand by IRAN and provide IRAN with support. So what better way -- make Assad look like a killer -- plant the poison gas and make it look like HE did it, when it was in fact a CIA backed rebel movement that did it.
Others were not at all reticent about aiding and abbetting the murder of countless more by Qatari mercenaries.
The irony is that as has been known for a long time, and as the FT itself reported ten days ago, the Syrian "rebels" who actually have been Qatari mercenaries, have been receiving weapons shipments for years from the wealthy Persian Gulf country, with the implicit knowledge of both Europe and the US.
So why the rush by France and Britain to allow weapons armaments to resume by official channels, even if it means even more weaponization of the Assad regime by Russia and China, more bloodshed, and more death? Simple: natural gas.

Yes he is standing in the way. The way of Qatar's desire (and Saudi Arabia's support) to run a Natural Gas line through Syria and up through Turkey so they can become Europe's main supplier and not Russia. Currently Russia controls this resource and pipeline.

Why do you think that Assad is not fool enough to use those weapons and open the ways to invasions ?
I think it is time for other American people to wake up too.
Was OBL fool enough to destroy two building to let the greatest army of the planet into Afghanistan ?
Was Saddam fool enough to let this happen to himself and to Iraq ?
Is Iran fool enough to make nuclear bombs and use it against the countries who have many many enhanced nuclear bombs ?

Yes they were, they did and they are! They always are because of the egos! They either dont realise their fates or they dont care anyway. Either way they did it and was easy for them! Ass-ad / his Generals did it because they were under pressure to regain control of all of the capital and using gas was the easiest way to progress that. Also they new that inspectors were around ish so did it and then planted a stash to blame the rebels. The kids that died were children of rebels were they not!

Americans are too awake for this. 10% support intervention in Iran. Many who I have talked to who watched mainstream news now question them. They say something is fishy with all the footage of children.
I don't know what's worse- Assad gassing his own people- or- the rebels agreeing to gas all of their own people as part of a plan to sell missile strikes to the public outrage. It's ALL bad.
