It’s so tough to know the truth anymore, I can’t muster up any good reasonings the Assad regime would use chemical weapons against mothers and kids. Perhaps to prevent them from growing up against his regime?
Why would Assad wait for U.N. chemical weapon inspectors then use it the same day?
What’s your take? False Flag?
Man I just don’t know anymore.
God Bless the Middle East and former beginning of city civilization, now it’s all just constant war and death.

The thing about gas warfare is the collateral damage. You can’t control where the gas goes or who it affects. That’s why it’s so horrendous.
I would would ask how many different separate and not connected sources are saying this and do they have the evidence?
I am not following this as closely as I probably should.
Which country would you suggest as the False Flag?
Make that separate and not politically connected sources!
I think the Assad regime does not care about its subjects including women and children.
@elbanditoroso
I think he means to say that the rebels could have used the gas and are trying to frame the syrian gov. to get the west to supply them with military support.
I agree the timing seems fishy. I think Assad is a brutal dictator but I don’t think he’d do this while the UN was right next to the site.
Killing women and children is one way to bring to heel those that do not mind dying themselves. It is a wicked and cowardly act.
Besides, what does Syria really have to lose. The U.N. can’t do shit.
The Assad family is like a mafia family. They have power, access to wealth and that is all they care about.
Using gas to kill a few citizens. They could not care less.
Westerners make a mistake in imagining that political leaders in some non-Western parts of the world have any conscience at all regarding their “people”. We know that our political leaders, as foolish and corrupt as they are, might at least have a mild sense of civic responsibility. Our heritage supports this notion. We assume the same is true in places like Syria. We can not imagine that it is not true. When confronted with evidence that we are engaging in fantasy, we reject the notion, and pretend it must be something else.
But no such tradition exists in the tribal ME.
It is not only as bad as it looks, it is worse. I can’t be the only one here that has been there. Surely there are others here who know the truth.
Still, maybe that is what happens when American government education meets world history.
