Syrian rebels claim that the army of President Bashar Assad again used poison gas in an attack on rebel forces in the Damascus area Thursday, an Israel Radio report said.

The report was based on rebel sources, who said the attack took place in the Jobar neighborhood of the capital. The rebel sources said they could not tell what kind of chemical weaponry had been used, but that it was a poison gas of some kind, and was causing injuries, including breathing difficulties.

Inquiring minds question the timing.

Was the WMD given to the ‘rebels’ (al Qaeda) by
the UK, the CIA, or Obama’s Special Forces?

Could this be a false false flag?

Every camel in Syria farted at the same time and it caused breathing difficulties, so .. let's report about the wealth of information we have about Assad's role in using chemicals to kill his own people, shall we ?


I used to enjoy reading .. and especially reading about world events .. politics.

Now however, I find myself laughing at the composition(s)

Apparently he’s getting rid of the gas as promised.

If true now what? We the American people including most of Congress simply don’t have the stomach to entangle ourselves into another Middle East conflict that usually doesn’t work itself out the way the politicians keep telling us how it’s going to happen for our supposedly good (all nicely wrapped up with a nice bow on top. Let Allah sort it out

Assad had no reason to do this, not with negotiations on the table.

Again...questioning the motives of those involved...the ‘rebels’ have more a reason to create martyrs for their Islamic cause than Assad does to save his status/country by bringing the US hellfire down on his head.

This just in: Assad drops thousands of children into a giant flaming wood chipper. and then devours their souls.

.@stephenfhayes Must be skeptical of EVERYONE. Assad might have done it to show rebels he's not cowed. If so, Obama has incentive to ignore.

Mark Levin said he got word from a friend who knows a Senior Lebanese Army Intel Officer that a considerable amount of chemical weapons are being moved by Assad to caves in the Bekka Valley in Lebanon by Hezbollah)

Telephone intercept: “did you?” “No, did you?” “Nope” [The NSA here finally does some snooping on somebody besides Americans]

Kerry: “Genocide chem attack by Assad....”

Obama: “Red Line”

Kerry: “We MUST attack; we don’t rule out Boots OTG”

UN: “We have a team on the ground investigating..”

Kerry/Power/Rice: “unbelievably small attacks - no boots OTG.” “We have exhausted all diplomatic avenues.”

Obama: “What Red Line? Not me! It was everybody else’s red line.” “Not my credibility. Everyone else’s”

Putin/Assad: “Russia will assume control of CHEMs.”

Kerry/Rice/Power/Obama: “We have a PLAN!” “We performed PERFECTLY” “No need for a vote now”

UN: “We have a good circumstantial case but no hard facts.”

Now, can anyone explain why Putin’s picture of him grabbing and American Flag on Drudge and saying America is not ‘special’ and it is ‘dangerous to think so’ isn’t apropos?

Our corrupt, inept group of experts and posers are the reason Putin can do this and make it stick on the world scene. America’s role in this played out by this administration is no more effective than the old Keystone Cops movies.

Since it would be crazy for Assad to do so, it strikes me that reports of the rebels having their own gas become more and more probable the more of these kinds of claims that we see.

We also know that al Qaeda and other jihadists groups have no problem with suicide attacks, terror attacks, or even mass self immolations.
