Terrorists in Syria uploaded the video of their crimes in East Ghouta, Damascus on August 20, 2013 and then blamed the Syrian government for the attack early on August 21, 2013, says the IIT website.
This only confirms to me that the Ass-ad regime did it and Russia knows it and they are trying to avoid having to say no to Ass-ad with regards to any further support should Syria be struck!

A video I saw on this suggested that the chemicals may have been used by the rebels, since they were found closer to (or in) their hands.
See this thread:

I wouldn't put it past the rogue CIA planners to orchestrate that as a false flag pretext to start missile strikes. I want to see the UN prove that the chemicals were dispersed by Assad forces. What we are lacking here is proof- either way. Sound familiar? WMD's in Iraq, anyone?
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.

That doesn't... really... make... any sense.
Like Russia would just be saying "Ahhh, gee... You mean we're actually going to have to stop backing a regime that could have done something this bad and save ourselves a lot of time, effort and resources getting involved in something that could make us a pariah among world leadership...Drats!"
Russia is not dependent on Syria. Russia is going out of it's way for Syria. It doesn't really have a whole lot to gain. To be partners with more powerful rich Arabs who want Assad out of the way would be more lucrative and according to the press, they've had some recent offers... although no one can be certain of any of those details. Why would Russia stick it's neck out for any other reason than that it is just as tired as many countries of Western shenanigans and has had enough?
And how do videos taken by terrorists, of terrorists terrorizing and then blaming it on the regime they are trying to topple with terror prove anything about that regime? Chemical weapons use is not something that the regime would want to happen on either side of the game board, because t knows that even if it is provable that the rebels did it, they are very likely to still get blamed by Western countries. Why even risk even playing that card? It makes no sense. If they wanted to demonize the rebels, staging ANYTHING on the rebels rather than chemical weapons would have been a better idea. ANYTHING else... besides nukes of course.
Of all the stupid idiotic things to do... this? Come on.
If Obama says "Tying a painted polka dot chicken in a tree and pummeling it with it's own eggs is the red line"
Sure enough, some idiot would be out there tying a painted polka dot chicken in a tree and planting it's eggs on the Assad regime.
There are some countries *ahem* across yonder pond who want us involved so badly I'm surprised they are not on their hands and knees begging for it like ten dollar tramp.... and here's a hint. It's NOT the Assad regime who want us involved!
Please explain your logic there because it's just not clicking. Whatever grand epiphany you just had must be such an obscure and in-obvious revelation that it flew right over my little head... so please enlighten us how you stumbled across this arcane wisdom that I am so unable to see.edit on 26-8-2013 by NotAnAspie because: (no reason given)

I have been preaching this for 6 months now. 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?
How convenient for the White House. Look at the language they are using: Terms like "we must act" and "time is drawing near" and "we must prevent additional chemical weapons use"
“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.”
SOURCE
Just take the time to watch this interview of Assad. Does this look like a tyrant? Does this man look like he would gas his own people? Don't you get a sense that Assad is more meek than he is a killer?
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.
I am so sick and tired of this crap.

ok, which is it?...Putin's confrontational ego.... or a behind the scenes plan between those two confrontational powers on the phone like you just mentioned?
You are all over the place and clearly swatting at shadows.
Some of the many different things you've said may be true, but I'm certain you don't know which. You just want to make up silly names and puff up yer tude instead of giving a better explanation. If it is all about the pipeline (and it could very well have to do with pipelines) then the only reason the west would be getting involved so heavily would be to go against Russian interests... which STILL puts the West as the sore loser and in the wrong.
Also this certainly doesn't explain the next scenario which contradicts the first of why Russia and the West would be at odds in the public, if their interests were the similar in private and dealing it out... and it's clear they are not the same interests or neither side would need to go to this trouble in the media and also what you have not explained is what Russia would stand to gain by knowing about a regime staging of a chemical attack, but still back the regime, then vetoing western movements, speaking out against western actions... all for some type of ulterior energy motive, when they already have Syria's alliance and don't really need to play games. Even if it's just business, Syria did not need the chemical attack to prove anything because eventually, they could handle this as long as no one else throws more fuel on the fire.
It's clear that outside interests have staged this.
I'm telling you... you are not making sense and just throwing stuff out there in desperation.
Come back after you've sorted it out and come up with a more organized theory and not just a need to focus on who is resisting Western interests in any way you can grasp at.
