There’s absolutely no evidence to back the allegation, and indeed ample evidence in the form of reports from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to the contrary, but the US is still expressing “skepticism” about Syria’s chemical disarmament.
It was US demands that led the UN Security Council to set artificially early deadlines for several stages of the disarmament, and the OPCW has confirmed Syria has met every single one with time to spare.
Still, officials keep anonymously leaking their doubts to the press, insisting not that Syria is doing anything specifically in violation of the disarmament deal, but that they just generally don’t believe Syria would ever agree to disarm voluntarily, and is probably trying to hide some arms for the “long term” as a hedge against Israel.
Which of course ignores how chemical weapons work. The whole reason most of Syria’s arsenal is unweaponized chemicals and that the OPCW has focused entirely on destroying production capacity is because such arms have a relatively short shelf life, and can’t just get stashed in the desert for decades.
US officials set all these early dates and were prepared to condemn Syria for missing them, but now that they haven’t they’re stuck complaining about literally nothing. Meanwhile, the only real obstacles to the OPCW mission are their dwindling funds and the difficulty of reaching sites close to US-backed rebel fighters.
The tactic is 'Big Lie,' and it's about getting it backwards –opposite the truth. They were intended as a counter to Israel's nuclear weapons, but due to the rise of the BRICs, among other things, they're no longer necessary. And had been anticipated to be a burden given that they could become the partial truth that Neocons/Jewish Lobby have proven they can use to get you invaded, occupied, tortured, 'tried,' etc. If that wasn't explored sufficiently on TV, then TV-raised GWoT-Suckers could take this Big Lie as clear reality –and it would be hard to convey to them that the idea has … well…expired.
Think it was Ray McGovern to Scott Horton: he'd never seen a deal like this disarmament take less then a few months. The math there sez the Obama WH had likely known about it (and possibly the attack itself) and took the opportunity to grandstand. That'd make insinuations like the above even lower.
If Israel and the United States were at the "miracle of the loaves and fishes" they would complain because there was no tartar sauce.
Samantha Power, along with Susan Rice are both warmongers with standing. They just can't stand the possibility of missing an opportunity to devastate another Muslim country. The new World Order these neo****s are trying to establish is all about the complete dominance over and subjugation of the rest of the world. The American people have little to say about this policy. Even when we vote in one who claimed to be antiwar the result reveals that we'd been bamboozled…big-time!! I'd really like to hear from the principle himself what event caused him to become a warmonger – or at least become a facilitator for those who pursue more war.
The enemy of any democracy or counteris independent or countries united front against vulture capitalism is nothing but the the Neo liberal fascism, they will lie, the will act deceptively, cooperate with tyrants and all other dictatorial regimes to stay in power. The evidence of that is from Vietnam war to Kongo to Balkan to Iraq, Syrian and upcoming wars in Africa.
This probably has something to do with Syrian recalcitrance about destroying its chemical INDUSTRY, along with its chemical weapons.
Like Iran's nuclear industry, anything 'domestic' or independent of 'control', is 'outlawed in rogue states' – unless they already have a Bomb.

This is a bad sign. It means that, as with Iraq, the US is gearing up to for, in addition to the covert aggression the Obama regime is committing by funding jihadists to attack in Syria, an overt war of aggression, regardless of Syria's perfect capitulation to US demands.
The US ignored Iraq's willingness to meet all requests in the peace deal that was on the table, and illegally invaded.
The US ignored Japan's attempts to surrender, and dropped two atomic bombs on the country, killing hundreds of thousands.
Do not put anything past US leaders, who are nothing more than servants of corporate power who are vetted by the financial industry before being backed as candidates, just as candidates in Iran are vetted by religious elements (though the Mid East US-allied family dictatorships don't even do this).
