Al-Arabiya is not a credible source. It is essentially the “Voice of Saudi Arabia”, the same folks who want to rent our military to take out their rival, Assad. It doesn’t even try to be credible, I was able to spot it as flat-out propaganda after reading just a couple of articles from that source.
The story is absurd on its face. Assad knows he’s under the spotlight and has no reason to use chemical weapons. He’s winning the “civil war” (actually just a foreign invasion using asymmetrical/guerrilla forces), and I’m sure he’s well aware that there is no military reason to use chemical weapons at all, they’re less reliable than plain old bullets and cause fewer casualties.
The only point to chemical weapons at all is the fear factor. But Assad has been winning the fight handily; he doesn’t need a fear weapon.
The traditional, tried-and-true method of getting the US to go to war is to engineer a false flag then ramp up the propaganda. Worked with Fort Sumter, worked with the Maine, worked with the Luisitania, worked with the Gulf of Tonkin. It is my belief that these acts are being done by the US government itself at the direction of people like Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton. It is my fear that they will become desperate and do something foolish like engineer the next false flag attack on US soil.
Absolutely...
Hopefully more Americans will wise up. Then again, I have my doubts.
