What I want to know is: I thought that the FSA (free syrian army) was getting their asses kicked, and that assad's gov forces were holding strong and held the advantage. When things are going that way, I just don't think that the FSA could suddenly gain the upper hand and force Assad's army to frantically attack the damascus area with nerve agents, which is what the *West* told them was a red line. [and yes, I know there were suspected, even UN-acknowledged chemical attacks in Syria previously that obummer studiously ignored.. but nothing on such a scale as this, which is being compared to saddam hussein's gas attack on the kurds way back when]
So I'm thinking... I don't think Assad's forces did this. I think it's going so bad for the FSA that they got ahold of a shitload of chem weapons (seemingly not hard, and allegedly a shitload of these weapons went unaccounted for in Libya during that mess), and set them off in Damascus as a false-flag to get Western intervention against Assad's regime. Either way, it'd sadly be convenient for the world if all of them just were gobbled up by a country-sized sinkhole.
What say you?
