Why should we trust Obama officials?
If it were just ‘Obama officials’ saying this, that is one thing, but we also have Israeli intelligence confirming the intelligence. We also know from basic logic about the Assad regime that they have had chemical weapons, that the mindset of their regime is to use them, and they are in a use it or lose it situation right now.
All of that trumps some ‘unnamed’ Syrian official going to some third rate Canadian rag.
My guess is that the do have evidence that chemical weapons were used...by the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. In that case, it’s okay because Assad is the designated bad guy.
Chemical weapons excuse will come in handy when the truth is out about Benghazi and arming the Syrian rebels.
