A secret State Department cable has concluded that the Syrian military likely used chemical weapons against its own people in a deadly attack last month, The Cable has learned.
United States diplomats in Turkey conducted a previously undisclosed, intensive investigation into claims that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons, and made what an Obama administration official who reviewed the cable called a "compelling case" that Assad's military forces had used a deadly form of poison gas.

Outside analysts worry that the administration's red line may have shifted again.
"Given the fact you have that in a cable, this indicates that the Obama administration may not simply jump into the conflict because chemical agents are used," said Andrew Tabler, senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Assad has a much better idea now of what he can do and get away with."
Disarm law abiding US citizens with executive orders, but let Assad use WMDs and Iran continue with their nuclear ambitions.
Gusty calls.
[crickets]
It's obvious who Oboma sees as the enemy, isn't it?
Oooooh bad Assad..! Yup, bad, bad, bad...! Bad Assad...!
It’s not Obama’s goons, nope..!
He’d Nnnnnever do that...!
Yup, I suuuure believe it was baaaaad Assad guys....!
Uh-huh.
NOW we know how bad Fast & Furious was.
But when the ugly details were FIIIRST breaking, did you really think that GayMuzzie arranged for ATF/FBI do perpetrate it...?
Didn’t you feel a LITTLE incredulous, sorta like now, with this...?
Sorry, but now my first reaction to news something REALLY treacherous has happened is that **GayMuzzie** did it.
It’s a “benefit of the doubt” thang....
Good. I hope Assad uses all of the stuff he has. That means it can’t be used on the US or Europe.
It is just towel-heads killing jihadi’s so it is a win-win for everyone else

Makes you wonder if Obama is evil enough to use chemical weapons on US citizens. His buddy Ayers has no problem with re-education camps and genocide for those that can’t be re-educated. Bill Ayers made those statements when it seemed impossible to have a Marist president with control of our WMDs.
Ah. Saddams WMD. Who’d a thunk it.
Barry Soetoro is certainly evil enough - no doubt in my mind
Your right, Assad was set up from the beginning.
Thanks edpc.
