Contrary evidence arises as U.S. considers punishing Assad regime...
NEW YORK – As the U.S. considers a response to what it calls a chemical weapon attack by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime that killed hundreds of civilians, reliable Middle Eastern sources say they have evidence the culprits actually were the rebel forces trying to take over the government.
Secretary of State John Kerry accused the Assad government Monday of covering up the use of chemical weapons in “a cowardly crime” and a “moral obscenity” that shocked the world’s conscience. Kerry claimed the Obama administration had “undeniable” evidence “that the Assad government was culpable in the use of chemical weapons on civilians” in the Aug. 21 attack in Damascus suburbs.
Reports that the Obama administration is considering a military strike against the Assad government continued to circulate Monday. Meanwhile, U.N. weapon inspectors in Syria were fired upon by snipers as they attempted to investigate the site of the Aug. 21 attack.
Assad has rejected charges that his government forces used chemical weapons as “preposterous” and “completely politicized,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
He argues Syrian forces were in the targeted area....

I would honestly like to know what you think of this bit of journalism - with pictures - because I honestly distrust, and am loath to believe, anything that comes out of John Kerry's mouth. He really, truly is a BS artist as evidenced by hie Vietnam record (such as we are allowed to know it) and following history as an opportunist gigolo.
Seems to me there is something to this.
Read the story before you say I'm crazy.

you realize this will all be used as cover...
then they’ll pass amnesty while we’re all distracted
The IRS is going to bankrupt the American Legion.
The most telling evidence against Assad is the fact that they held back the UN inspectors who were in the area from going in for several days.
yes this is a distraction just because they want a distraction and they need tons of distractions for the next three years
No, it’s not an excellent news source. It’s a conspiracy website consisting entirely of paranoid fabrications.
I’ll tell you one thing... I do NOT trust the wording on that canister... “Saudi Factory for Chlorinates...”
Just like “Baby Milk Factory”.
Which islamists to believe. What a quandary.
Nothing this admin does would shock me. I would bet this is not Syria. It’s AQ and all this is cover to get the Brotherhood running Syria since they lost Egypt.
Which islamists to believe. What a quandary.
Indeed. Believe the sleazy liar or the other sleazy liar.
However, the nice thing about Islam is that one doesn’t have to worry about being lied to...since that’s standard practice for the religion of AD 600.
You mean like “If you don’t have anything to hide, then why not let us search”?
/S
I say let them kill each other... stay out....Iraq and Afghanistan prove that they are not interested in progress..
That was the one thing that looked out of place to me too. I wonder though..is there some international law that hazardous chemicals have ingredients listed in English too? I would not be surprised but not sure where to go look for info.
We went to war in Cuba over the blowing up of the USS Maine. Many now believe that the explosion was an inside job.
Assad ruthless enough to use chemicals - yes
AQ and islamists ruthless enough to use chemicals - yes
Since they are both enemies of civilization, let them pound each other - this is a fight we have no dog in (unless Israel gets attacked)
I trust Assad more than Kerry.
1. Shoebat is not reliable.
2. I read it on WND, it must be true!
3. I saw it on YouTube, it must be true!
4. If it was rebels why did Assad’s forces hamper the UN team instead of help them?
5. Why did those hacked emails not have the tcp/ip threads, dates, times and headers?
Probably there is, but I would expect the Brand/Corporate name, not “Saudi Factory”
