Yup, Obominator is lobbing nothing more than a campaign of distraction though.
While everyone is watching for developments in the Syrian mess, there are other things happening in the world.
There will be no WW3, that is the biggest part of the whole distraction, fear, fear, fear, war, war, war.
The drums beat to drown out the things we need to hear being said.
If the intent was to hide

Well I work in the AirForce storing munitions. The new guys who show up, who have no training have no idea what they are handleing, and what type of hazards they pose. For the most part, a new guy with no training can barely understand the concept of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and so on. To understand the different explosive hazard, the naming system of government issued munitions, and handleing procedures requires training that a lot of these rebels most likly dont have. I think it is very possible they had no idea what they were handeling.

From the article it seems they didnt know what the weapon was, and it was an accident. If the US launches a strike against Assad, yes that is a victory for the rebels, but is it really? That would also mean many civilians and residential neighborhoods would be destroyed. Im sure they dont want that either.
What if the Saudis gave them CW intentionally mixed into the normal Mortars for the sole purpose of blaming it on Assad so the US could overthrow him...
The Saudis have been behind the US mis-adventure in the middle east, Oil pipeline is important to them and as an Added bonus being Sunni... Well they hate Shia...
What countries happen to be dominate Shia?
IRAN, IRAQ, YEMEN, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA...
Sooooooo, Saudi's also get help in an apparent Holy war.
You ever wonder why the Middle east calls what the US is doing a crusade against Islam? Because the guys with what we want the Saudi's are waging one.
We are just involved for economic reasons.
ETA:
Now with the above information think on this real hard, Saudi's NEED the US to intervene in the Middle east, 15 of the 9-11 high jackers were Saudi...
How many oil contracts did Halliburton get again?edit on 30-8-2013 by benrl because: (no reason given)

I have had little doubt that the rebels did indeed commit the CW atrocity, but why on Earth would they admit that? Why draw a giant target on your own head and invite the US/UK/etc. to launch a couple of hundred missiles at you because you decided to use gas on a civilian population? Even Russia and China wouldn't dare support you if that were the case.
If they wanted to commit suicide, they have plenty of vests over there.
This make absolutely no sense.
Every official Govt intel report refuses to name the threat as Sarin- instead abbreviated it to CW..why is this?
