(CNN) -- Evidence of another deadly chemical weapons attack
in Syria has surfaced, opposition activists said Friday.


Seven people died and dozens were
injured Monday in the attack on a school in northern Syria.

Something smells fishy about this story. At this point I just dont think assad would do something like this. Perhaps staged by the rebels?

Why is it fishy? (helpful to add the link btw)

Many "schools" are religious schools and if you remember anything from Gulf II there are always people taking refuge and attacking out of mosques, schools etc. either to use human shields and so on and so forth.

With 100k+ dead, the lead just flies everywhere and there will be dead people at schools, at work, at church and even sitting on the toilet.

Who benefits ?

This just gives the US more emotional fodder.
This will continue until the world caves to US demands to be allowed to invade Syria.

It is fishy for the reason I stated.. Why would assad at this time launch a chem attack? With destroyers at his back and the powers that be just looking for an excuse. Link posted

His "soldiers" have killed 100k people but they will not bomb a school?....really?
The guy is clearly a nutcase. He may do it to send a message..



I'm against the US getting involved in any way. I personally have doubts we will really do anything.

You know the rebels were losing to Assad before all this chemical weapon bombing happened.
You think the rebels care about collateral damage if this could get the US bombing Syria to give them the advantage ?

Think people. Those rebels are the extremists. Look what they are doing in countries we've already invaded.
They don't hesitate to kill their own people.

Who are we fooling here ?
