There’s still no real proof and UN inspectors haven’t even gotten to the site, but Western officials say they have “little or no doubt” that Wednesday’s Ghouta incident was a chemical weapons attack.
They’re not only willing to buy the rebels’ version of events, they went a step further and say that the attack “likely” had direct approval from top officials in the Assad government.
The Obama Administration is calling for a “full investigation” by UN investigators, and the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), one of the rebel factions, agreed to “guarantee the safety” of investigators.
Other rebels say they’re trying to smuggle evidence to the UN, but they’re already downplaying the prospect of it amounting to anything, saying they haven’t got much equipment and are constantly fighting the Syrian government so their evidence could be “damaged” en route.
With Turkey and France already calling for war without the proof and most of the decision-makers already convinced, there’s little reason to think that anyone’s minds will be changed even if the investigation fails to turn up what they’d hoped for.
After all, even though the UN investigators said the previous attack was almost certainly launched by the rebels, Western officials continue to present that as the Assad government’s doing as well.
Anyone remember the episode where "rebels" tried to engineer the situation where Assad forces would be killing a bunch of journalists, which would have provided for some good TV copy? They made it out alive in the end but "false flag operations" are standard operating procedure in this show.
The tyrants in DC concluded years ago that the average Boobus Americanus could have a bomb dropped on his bedroom by the US military and Boobus would still stand up and pledge allegiance to the flag. This is the regime, after all, which has routinely gotten itself into wars using false flag operations – the Fort Sumter resupply gambit, the destruction of the Maine, the "Shoot On Sight" order to gin up an incident with Germany in 1941, antagonizing the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor, Acheson's "accidental" omission of South Korea from the defined area of US interests, the Gulf of Tonkin hoax, April Glaspie and the Saddam Hussein "you can invade Kuwait – wink, wink, nudge, nudge" gambit, and most recently the Iraqi WMD hoax.
Whoops! I dropped the eviden– er –those dang native Syrians (those less free than myself) shot it out of my hand as I was running it to you barefoot with flowers twixt my toes…
People believe what they want to believe – and the people in charge want to kill some Syrians (and then of course, a lot of Iranians). They've got the ball rolling now, cue the dumbasses to start waving the giant flags.
What good will the UN inspectors do? they say the previous attack was launch by rebels, but is anyone listening, 'no' Iraq all over again with Al- Qaeda in the front lines.
Now that you ask that…I wonder what game is being played with them. They come again, they'll be observed in action some more. They might be profiled and targeted themselves in some way —culling truthtellers.
You can rest assured that Israel is providing the "proof" that Assad forces committed the alleged chemical attack. And since Israel specializes in false flag attacks, it wouldn't surprise me if they committed the attack.
Looks like they're trying to get their narrative out before any inspectors have the chance to get in and disprove it, bit like how Bush kicked the inspectors out of Iraq before they discovered there was in fact no WMD.
How can they be so sure it was Assad ? tactically it would make zero sense for him to use these weapons, he could easily kill those same people using conventional weapons and not risk any consequences, and the government is winning the war, there's no need for them to do this, unless they're suicidal and want the US/UK/West to intervene and destroy them, which i don't believe is true.
this whole thing stinks.
Lots of proof, but Western officials convinced no "coup" in Egypt.
The only question in my mind is whether the chemical weapons were used by Tel Aviv, Washington or their al-Qaeda “rebel” allies in order to “justify” a military attack on the Syrian government.
The “intelligence” is, once again, being fixed around the policy and the MSM is serving as an eager amplifier for the war propaganda.
