The U.S is confident that Syria was behind the deadly chemical weapons attack after intercepting a phone call from a Syrian defence chief demanding an explanation from its chemical weapon military unit for the action, according to new claims.

OK, IF true (and that's a big IF), then the Syrian government neither ordered nor authorized the chemical strike. So why all this talk of war if the solution is to let Assad's people identify the rogue officer(s) and execute him/them publicly?

Good point. Plus, what was the response from the team?

“So why all this talk of war if the solution is to let Assad’s people identify the rogue officer(s) and execute him/them publicly? “

Uhm...never let a crisis go to waste?

The problems with portioning out the gas agents to many sources of control is that they might either be used without orders or in desperation, or that they will be captured and used in a false flag operation or against your own forces.

One or more of these bad outcomes became a certainty when Assad moved the gas to many locations to prevent effective bombing.

Exactly right! IF this report is true then the Obamabots know that it was not an authorized action. Allow the specific perps to be dealt with, don’t start a freakin’ war over it.......

A rogue commander - especially one in charge of WMD’s - is bad news; think “Dr. Strangelove” and General Jack D. Ripper.

It could also mean that the chinless opthamologist really doesn’t have command of his military, or at least there’s no proper chain of command for the deployment/authorization of WMD use. Pretty slipshod, in my book, but perhaps that’s just the nature of Syria’s military command structure.

I would imagine that a partial transcript of that conversation would included the memorable line, “YOU JUST DID WHAT?! WTF? SERIOUSLY! S**T!!”

and if they don’t?

Yep. Makes sense that they infiltrated that part of Assad’s military in order to carry out the strike that we’re using as a pretext to start to deliver Syria to the MB/Al-Qaeda.

We already have the leaked emails referring to a false flag attack being our plan, then we’ve got the UN bizarrely going in to confirm that chemical weapons were used—but not to identify who was responsible for the attack. Finally, we’ve got the Obama/MB administration declaring Assad unquestionably responsible as their justification for direct military involvement.

Putin I think is correct about that monkey with a hand grenade.
