On May 6, the BBC reported that Carla Del Ponte, a leading member of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria, established by the U.N. in August 2011, told Swiss TV the available evidence pointed to the Syrian rebels launching gas attacks, although the possibility government forces also using chemical weapons could not be ruled out.

“Our investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals, and there are strong, concrete suspicions, but not yet incontrovertible proof, of the use of Sarin gas,” Del Ponte said in the interview, as reported May 6 by the London Daily Mail. “This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities.”

Meanwhile the Zero admin points to “hundreds of YOUTUBE videos” as if they are “total” proof.
After panning Youtube for “a hateful inciteful irresponsible video”...

Tank it is clear that chemical weapons were used.

Question that needs to be answered by Obama is,”by who?”

Personally, I don’t care about a smoking gun.

I’d prefer using WMDs as a pretext and cleaning house in Syria so that NEITHER side has access to them. The same with Iran. Clean house. Rid it of anything nuke related.

However, they’ll pretend that a no fly zone or a blown up fighter jet will prevent the use of WMDs.

They honestly think we’re idiots.

And I think they’re all liars. The difference is that I’m right.

The Obama administration has not produced any credible evidence that Assad’s forces are responsible for the gas attack.

The have not even tried. They are just making baseless claims that Assad is responsible and then trying to brazen the situation and keep repeating the lie until people believe it

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama for his “extraordinary efforts” to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama’s promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a “new climate” in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

Is the above still true?

So, “hundreds” of YouTube videos have been made “Classified” by the administration? Because Kerry said the evidence is “classified”. How the hell do you do that?

3rd party provacateur, probably.

Still cannot tell, which side was being framed.

Another FRPR was correct. The “missiles” used were your garden variety BBQ grill compressed gas containers, welded up to other “home made” components that many small time fabrication shops could produce.

Apparently, at least one launch was coordinated with the arrival of a Syrian Air Force jet fighter, which was mistaken as the culprit, by viewers on the ground. Cannot yet tell, if the jet fighter “just happened to be there,” or was baited by, to the advantage of the 3rd party’s agent(s).

In general, people wonder, What would the mid-East be like, if Israel was out of the picture?

Answer: Syria and Lebanon *for all of “Islam.”* Civil War & Internecine Revenge-Warfare for Generations.

Rather, they relish, that they have something to gain *thru warfare and terror,* and their (the Jihadist) Cult of Brutality continues to cause most of the rest of the population, to take a distant back seat, from which it observes correctly, that the only workable answer must be, to store Arms and instead, pursue regular occupations.

That’s a problem for the Akbar-istas -— they “are bored” and claim a need to destroy somebody else.

Jesse Jackson will word that another way: “It’s about jobs.”

Meanwhile, “the suits” are greedily trying to exploit the consumption of “more of them containers.”

It’s about their jobs, too. In the end, banksters and gov’t policy makers “win.”

We ought to be very hard on users of NBC, but we *have to be certain* who is the culprit, in such cases.

But that is not the plan. The plan is to lob a few missiles to help the rebels who are losing with the goal of toppling Assad and leaving al Qaeda in power and in charge of those weapons.....Yep, sounds like a real winner of a plan!

Nobody is saying it but this is treason....giving aid to our known enemies who have attacked us on our soil unlike Assad!

Treason.

I agree with you. I’ve said it.

Engineering a plan to put known enemies in charge of WMDs is treason.

It is also a direct assault on Israel.
