Not likely. There’s no reason this stuff can’t be purely Syrian. Or for that matter Chinese or Russian.
Syria had its own, unmonitored chemical weapons program.
And 10 years of degradation (at least) of Iraqi chemical stockpiles is a serious factor. Most of this stuff just doesn’t keep very well.
I remember the sat-photos of the movement of the convoys to syria as a matter of fact!
Unexpected.
DUH!
"I, for one, refuse to believe it!"
He will say whatever the neocons say.
The Syrian government had its own chem weapons, didn’t need Saddam’s. And the Syrian government did not carry out this attack.
He was my wife’s CO during his stay with a local US Army Reserve PsyOps group.. Met him at a picnic once, nice guy, straight shooter.
Life without chemical warfare threats in the Middle East would be so much easier on O’s game.
All those who are alleged to have died are just so much irrelevant collateral damage.. What difference does it make where it came from? Apparently, to many in the HomieLand .. Nothing.

Ripe for the pickin’
Whoopee-doo. The USA still has no reason to get involved in Syria.
but but but
Bush lied!
sarc
NO!!!
They didn’t have any stockpiles.../s
On a serious note:
I don’t for a second believe Asshat Assad used chems on his own subjects.
The opposition made collateral damage for their PR campaign to the world.
I'd like to see this proof before we go getting involved in any of this. It would surprise me to hear the rebels did it to their own people just to get us involved.
My guess is that the chemical attacks are by insurgents on civilians. They are losing badly and have nothing to lose as the US SOS (Sack of Sh!t) Kerry-Heinz and the EU will be too biased and stupid to figure it out. The weapons were probably captured from Syrian bases in early fighting but held back until they could be used on the sly.
They may originate with U.S. intelligence agencies; check out this video.

If this allegation is correct, the chemical weapons attacks are false-flag attacks designed by the Obama administration (or whoever controls Obama) in order to push a war-agenda.
I remember seeing an episode of ABC’s “Nightline” a number of years ago, during the early years of the Iraq War.
Ted Koppel played an audio tape of an Iraqi general saying that Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction were sent to Syria by plane during the summer of 2002. There was a dam collapse of some kind in Syria, and Saddam Hussein was sending plane loads of humanitarian aid to Syria.....at least, that was the official story. The planes contained the WMD’s, not humanitarian aid, according to this Iraqi general.
The audio tape was in Arabic and was translated into English.
Just adding this old “Nightline” episode to the mix.....
