The former UK Ambassador to Syria and career UK diplomat, Peter Ford, said the same thing 2 days ago.
For him, the most plausible scenario was one of the various Saudi-Brennan-Obama-McCain supported Sunni jihadi organizations staging it as a PR, media pretext, and an excuse for other military action.
Politically, it didn’t make any sense. Deep state BS?
Could be true. Not worth starting a war over Muslims killing each other.
Is this talking about the recent attack or the one about a year ago?
I don’t know what happened, but I certainly would not take the word of a mit professor over that of Trump. I put professors and nea teachers in the same class as politicians, reporters and lawyers.
Proof? We aint got no proof! We dont need no proof! I dont have to show you any stinkin proof!
And he was there I am sure
More proof from an top notch SME.
The professor was having tea with Assad at the time and provided a bullet proof alibi...
Is there concrete evidence exonerating Assad???
Where did the Sarin gas come from? The Tooth Fairy? Theodore Postol has bought the Assad misinformation. For a look at this April 4, 2017 attack, go here:

Of course there isn’t. What would Assad hope to gain by doing so? Why would he do that when that invites other players against him to help the jihad against him?
No, it makes perfect sense that Assad wants to get attacked by America simply for killing a handful of people with poison gas.
Who wouldn’t want that?
Syria must be one of those extra seven states of Obama’s 57 that any of this is a concern to Americans.
Yeah - how connected is this “expert professor” to actual intelligence?
Wow, Putin controls MIT too.
But then, we know Massachusetts is full of Commies, so we shouldn't be surprised.
PING
MIT expert claims latest chemical weapons attack in Syria was staged
Another expert! WOW do we have a ton of brilliance in this country.
Trump just talks about getting out of Syria and 2 days later this happens? It cant be Assad. He would wait first for the US to be out of Syrna. If staged, this was a desperate last minute attempt to keep the US in Syria.
duh
anyone familiar with the situation immediately expected this to be the case
and the behavior of the usual suspects all but confirmed it on Day 1 - everything since has been the inevitable revelations of falsehoods
