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?

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??

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?

Yeah interesting if you are wacked enough to believe conspiracy websites like that. I checked those sites out, one of them even says the U.S. is responsible for the attacks, LOL. Way to go on bringing intelligent discussion to the forum

I don't have access to classified information, but i'm sure not going to judge any situation by utilizing conspiracy websites. That is how people become ill informed and make misguided judgements. I will use common sense in my education in mid-eastern studies and terrorism/counter terrorism to guide me through the logical process of forming an opinion based on the information that has been provided though non-partisan news sources.

So what proof do you have that those conspiracy sites are correct? First of all there are many networks providing news around the world, BBC, Al Jazerra etc that are not based in the U.S. Hell even FOX and MSNBC would be a better choice at more accurate news than those sites you are relying on. The Far Left and Far Right conspiracy theorists are nothing more than a tool being used to brainwash those people with weak minds that can't think and reason for themselves.
