#9  I saw the videos on the news about the supposed "proof of chemical weapons use", but it looks a lot like the Paliwood videos to me. I don't know, but I'm skeptical.

#8  US Intel leans toward concluding poison gas was fired
DEBKAfile August 23, 2013, 9:04 PM (GMT+02:00)
Administration officials said Friday that US intelligence detected activity at known Syrian chemical weapons sites before Wednesday's possible chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,000 people, according to CBS News. It is now seen as possible preparation for the attack. US intelligence agencies now lean to the conclusion that Syria did use chemical weapons. DEBKAfile's military sources add: The gas shells were fired by the Syrian armyÂ’s elite 155th Brigade. They came from stores near Damascus controlled by the Syrian Air Force intelligence service which answers directly to President Bashar Assad.

#7  Sounds to me like they've got plenty of arms. Don't interfere in an internal war. They will both turn on you.

#6  Who cares. Personally it looks like scum fighting scum. I pity those caught in the middle but not enough to want US involvement at any level.

Other than the current Mouth who is a senator from Arizona it doesn't even come up after a few drinks with a liberal.

#1  Baby Assad's regime is formally denying the charges, + Russia + China are preventing any serious probe or action into the matter.
