We do not have an altruistic government.
If they want to bomb they will do whatever it takes to make it appear justified.
Who has the most to gain from this ?
Saudi who wants Assad out before 2014 because of the Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline.
Assad snubbed Saudi.
The whole thing makes no sense. Why would Assad use chem warfare just as the UN inspectors were coming in. By the same token, now that everyone from Obama to Kerry to Boehner thinks that Assad did it, why would rebels come out and say that they were actually responsible. Would a rebel really be dumb enough to say that?
I call bull**** on this entire thing.
Why would Assad use poison gas, he is WINING this civil war.
Why would he use gas, when he knows it might bring in the wrath of the UN or NATO or the USA down on his head?
And what the hell tactical military advantage did he derive from gassing a bunch of harmless civilians? Did he halt a massive attack, and turn the tide of war in his favor? Did he prevent an attack that would have brought down his regime?
I do not trust Obama or his administration to tell the American people the truth, he has done nothing but lie to our faces and distort the truth for years now.

The Saudi/US backed rebels were losing.
They need US intervention to give them the upper hand.
It worked with Libya but I fear that bombing Syria is going to be a different ballgame.
Congress authorizing 90 days of bombing ?
Really..lobbing 900 missiles on a country is 'sending a message' and not a declaration of war ?
I just fear this new war tactic will one day be used on us.
Here's what I get when I try to go to the Daily Kos diary:
Error!
The error was:

Not so sure they think he did it, I think there are other motives. A female rebel and rebels father supposedly stated this to a credible ap reporter which does beg the question why? Just what is our evidence at this time? some phone calls?
This overstates the basis for the story. Here's the correction they later added:
Clarification: Dale Gavlak assisted in the research and writing process of this article, but was not on the ground in Syria. Reporter Yahya Ababneh, with whom the report was written in collaboration, was the correspondent on the ground in Ghouta who spoke directly with the rebels, their family members, victims of the chemical weapons attacks and local residents.
The rebels were losing ground.
Saudi does not want Assad to keep power (elections in 2014)
Saudi is pissed about the Syria-Iraq-Iran pipeline
Saudi is backing the rebels.
What Saudi wants, Saudi is going to get.
Go read up on Prince Bandar and his dealings.
The rebels have the most to gain from chemical attacks.
And if it is the rebels then the chemical attacks will continue if we don't bomb until we do bomb to give them the advantage to take power
al-Nusra is AQ with money, power, guns and many are defecting the other rebel groups to join them.
Al Nusra is al Qaeda with money and power, yet for some reason you think they would admit that they were responsible for this? Why do you place so much credibility on al Qaeda?
There was nothing to gain from Assad doing what he did unless he wanted the US to attack Syria. Hell who knows. US attacks he sneaks out the back door and it's announced he's been caught and tossed into the ocean and he goes and lives next door to bin laden on his own private island right??
Wasn't the consensus of the CD posters...just a week ago, that Assad didnt fear or respect Obama?
What changed? Why is Assad now so smart as not to rile the President and risk a strike?
I wonder?
