U.S. says Syrian offer on chemical site inspection is too late

(Reuters) - The United States has little doubt the Syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians last week, and any decision to open the site to U.N. inspectors was “too late to be credible,” a senior official in the U.S. administration said on Sunday.

“Based on the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured, witness accounts, and other facts gathered by open sources, the U.S. intelligence community, and international partners, there is very little doubt at this point that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in this incident,” the official told Reuters.

The official made clear the Syrian government’s agreement to let United Nations inspectors visit the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack was inadequate.

“At this juncture, any belated decision by the regime to grant access to the U.N. team would be considered too late to be credible, including because the evidence available has been significantly corrupted as a result of the regime’s persistent shelling and other intentional actions over the last five days,” the official said.

Too late? WTH??

Get ready..Obama fixin to wag the dog. Good God!

Shows me that Obama and his MB buddies don’t want inspectors in there and are trying to put out reasons why the evidence might be ‘corrupted’ before it is possibly proven that the Islamists that he supports did this.

This is BS.
