Well I don't think it's been a question of "IF" chemical weapons were used, only who used them. To that degree is where all the other countries have different versions.
Nihilism.
Yes, Obama gave it to me personally. :roll:
So your conclusion, then, is that we should trust President Obama when he says something, even if we don't have evidence.
I'll repeat:
Saddam faked a WMD program.
Do you believe that Assad faked the chem use?
The UN team was specifically NOT charged with assigning blame.
So they were at the rocket blast site. Would not the angle of how the blast occurred hint direction of the rocket? Unless it hit the ground at a perfect 90 degree angle the blast should expand at the other direction more compared to the one from which it came from.
I never said that team was charged with assigning blame.
Thirty minutes before the first reports of chems impacting, several launches were detected in various areas of Assad controlled territory.
My conclusion is that Obama is more credible than Putin and the Iranian regime.
And I'll repeat:
Saddam faked a WMD program however, the intelligence was WRONG. Therefore, the intelligence could be WRONG on WHO did the chemical attack.
Do you belive that our intelligence cannot be wrong?
Ah, so if you have to choose a side, you would side with Obama. Why do you feel forced to choose a side?
I don't feel forced to choose a side. I examine all of the claims, consider credibility and then decide who I think was responsible.
Are you being forced to choose sides?
Thirty minutes before the first reports of chems impacting, several launches (matching the number of chem impacts) were detected in various areas of Assad controlled territory.
Obviously intel can be wrong. Do you believe that Assad faked the chem use, or are you just throwing Saddam out there for no coherent reason?
Now for the image where the devilish Assad senior officials states name, surname, rank, and laughs while pressing the rocket launching button! But perhaps even then it would not do!

Where did I say he FAKED a chem attack, that was YOUR strawman. I threw Saddam in there because intelligence was WRONG. I am simply stating that the intelligence that Assad's regime did the chemical attack could be wrong. Quick making up **** that you THINK I'm saying and stick to what I actually said please.
Several unlikely bedfellows have converged, in a swarm of conspiracy theory, to demonize Obama. No matter what evidence is produced, we will be hearing "Obama lied" for at least the next decade. Here are some of the loonies that are and will engage in such:
1. Obama haters. These consist of: extreme conservatives, racists and fringe partisan hacks.
2. Fundie Muzzies. These consist of radical mosque heads, generally paranoid cultists and others who believe that the ME should remain in the dark ages because that's what God wants.
3. Extreme non-interventionists. These consist of ignorant hippies, greedy capitalists and others who would rather people suffer chemical genocide than we spend US dollars.
Some of those will stop the nonsense once the evidence is made clear, some will never believe anything that contradicts their psychotic narrative.

The intel was wrong about Saddam for a very good reason. Do you see any such reason playing a role in the current event? No, you don't. Thus, your comparison is BS founded in emotional hysterics.
Nobody is,
Or there are people who are leary about believeing so called "intelligence" to get us into another decade long war. And as far as "caring" about those 1400 people (which is probably less) that were gassed, where was your support for war when the 100,000 had died before this?

Syria has moved 20 trucks worth of equipment and material used for the manufacturing of chemical weapons into neighboring Iraq.
