One of the lead United Nations investigators probing human rights abuses in Syria said Sunday that testimony from victims and field medical staff indicates that Syrian opposition forces -- and not the regime of Bashar al Assad -- may have deployed sarin gas.

That’s our White House.
Obama’s buddies. He’s simply too stupid to be involved in this or any other foreign matter.
YEAH....and now they can use the SUPPORT (money) we’ve given them to weaponize those chemicals....Our pResident is SOOOO smart. /s
Yes, and those would be the same terrorists that our tax dollars and our safety will be given over to.
Russia: USA arming al-Qaeda terrorists fighting Syrian government
TEL AVIV – Russia delivered to the Obama administration a list of the names of al-Qaida members among the Syrian rebels, who are receiving arms shipments coordinated by the U.S., according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.
The list, the officials added, demonstrates the U.S. is failing to vet the rebels being supported by the West for ties to al-Qaida and other jihad groups.
The information comes amid scores of news media reports that the Obama administration is aiding the rebels, including by coordinating Arab arms shipments.
The arming of Syrian rebels is considered highly controversial. A major issue is the inclusion of jihadists, including al-Qaida, among the ranks of the Free Syrian Army and other Syrian opposition groups.
Just last week, WND broke the story that the U.S. in recent weeks aided in the transfer of shoulder-launched, anti-aircraft missiles, or man-portable air-defense systems, to the Syrian rebels, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.
The Middle Eastern security officials speaking to WND said the latest U.S.-facilitated weapons transfers signify the most advanced deliveries yet to the Syrian rebels.
Confirming WND’s exclusive reporting for over a year, the New York Times reported in March that since early 2012, the CIA has been helping Arab governments and Turkey obtain and ship weapons to the Syrian rebels.

How convenient for Zero.
I always found it strange when only about a dozen or so rebels were exposed to chemical weapons. If the regime had stooped to using them, I imagine it would have been large scale and claimed in self defense.
Expect to see more and more of these “false flag” instances as the so called “rebels” attempt to manipulate events so as the US and its allies intervene on behalf of the jihadists. Elements of the Obama administration and useful idiots such as Juan McCain will be trying to take advantage of such false flag operations—they won’t be happy until more American treasure is wasted and Muslim Brotherhood interests are advanced.
I wouldn’t put the use of chemical weapons past either side, and frankly a pox upon both their houses.
Well, we now know why Obama went into squish mode. He is supporting the rebels use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
Let’s play a game. Substitute Obama with George Bush and what would happen?
“I wouldn’t put the use of chemical weapons past either side, and frankly a pox upon both their houses.”
I’m no fan of Obama but I do believe he’s right in dragging his feet on Syria, and don’t think he should arm the rebels. Won’t we end up with another Egypt, Libya, etc.? I’ve really had enough of U.S. involvement in the Middle East.
Obama sets a red line
The Rebels hear of it.
They want Obama’s help.
They cross the red line and blame it on Assad.
Strangely the UN see’s thru the plot. Wonder if it was planned in the White House.
Yeah...
I’m vindicated.
