Exactly! Yet another question I have about Syria and what actually happened, who is actually controlling the agenda?
Clarice Feldman over at AT:

has uncovered really good stuff suggesting the French have intel that Syria attacked its own people. It’s here:

My take is it makes no sense since Trump has recently announced he would like to get out of Syria:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-03/trump-says-he-wants-u-s-troops-to-get-out-of-syria-soon
President Donald Trump said he wants U.S. troops to leave Syria soon and will make a decision “very quickly” on how much longer they will stay, as his administration’s policy on its seven-year civil war remains in limbo.
“I want to get out, I want to bring the troops back home, I want to start rebuilding our nation,” Trump said Tuesday during a news conference at the White House with leaders of Baltic nations. He added that “our primary mission” of fighting the Islamic State terrorist group is “almost completed.”
As Islamic State loses most of its self-proclaimed caliphate, the U.S. is losing its only professed reason to keep troops on the ground and send air strikes into the maelstrom in Syria. Yet Pentagon officials have made it clear they have no desire to pull out and enable Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies Russia and Iran to seal their victory.

You gotta wonder what motivates Syria to gas their own people on exactly a year after the terror types Jaysh-al-Islam claimed responsibility for gassing people in Allepo.
IMHO,its likely Syria would run such and event by Russia for confirmation and how likely is it the Russians would say ‘yeah go ahead and gas your citizens after trump announced he wants to leave?’ Doesn’t make a lot of sense.
But Clarice has good stuff from the French,so where are we?
I still wonder who did the actual gassing and why.
Well, it’s possible Assad is just another dum bass.
The ongoing fighting is very near Damascus, right in the suburbs I believe and the fighting can be house-to-house and block-to-block, so who knows what the ground commanders and upwards are thinking?
Maybe they couldn’t take out who was in the building after multiple attempts and thought no one would be looking, and since Trump is pulling out... Now’s the time to roll up all these little beds of resistance.
Who knows or can explain their thinking?
We know one thing about Muslim dictators: They’re brutal as #%%$# and killing a whole bunch of innocents is no more than you or me swatting flies or gassing roaches.
Some say the whole Saddam not releasing his WMD when he really didn’t have them was a ploy to keep us and others from treating him like the degraded military beggar Iraq had become and then being overthrown by his own people for not protecting them. And think of what Iran wanted to do to him... So Saddam had his own logic working here that utterly failed him and actually led to his downfall.
So, not our kind logic to be sure.
