Color me skeptical. Assad is no dummy. He knows than much of the West is just looking for an excuse to intervene against him. The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and the rest of the alliance arrayed against him are quite capable of using chemical weapons and blaming him. Obama is also certainly an accomplished liar and is still concealing the degree of US involvement in arming and aiding the rebels.
IIRC, reports circulated 6 months ago of chemical weapons use. At tghe time it was blamed on the rebels trying to suck the US into intervening.
This was about the time of Bengazigate. Connected? Most likely. And that would account for trace detection of chem weapons.
Your nickname is very apt.
I’m pleased so many freepers are being skeptical about this.
Of course there are interests who want an intervention and they stupidly want Assad gone so they can install Muslim Brotherhood who can murder more Christians and Jews i.e McCain/Graham and probably elements within the Administration.
So far Obama has resisted them but Libya showed us he won’t for long.
