Chemical Weapons in Syria

Syrian activists accused President Bashar al-Assad's forces of launching a gas attack that reportedly killed hundreds Wednesday. If confirmed, the attack would be the worst reported use of chemical arms in the two-year-old civil war, and would cross what President Barack Obama has called a "red line." In June, the U.S. said it had conclusive evidence that Assad's regime used chemical weapons against opposition forces -- prompting a U.S. decision to begin arming rebel groups, although that has yet to happen.

Uh-huh. We weren’t in Cambodia either.

The U.S. and other Western and regional countries called for U.N. chemical weapons investigators -- who arrived in Damascus just three days ago -- to be urgently dispatched to the scene of what appears to be one of the deadliest incidents of Syria's war.

What fortuitous timing.

Opposition groups blame Assad. Assad’s supporters are saying the opposition did it themselves to draw international aid. I even heard one Syrian on NPR saying that the videos are all fake.

Whatever the case, my money is on the CIA. I have good reason – a very long history.
