So lets break this down, Syria/Russia invited the UN Council in to inspect for chemical weapons. It just so happened that chemical weapons were used when the UN Council arrived. The US and other countries said without a doubt Syria used them, Israel said Assad's brother used them and they knew exactly what division of the armed forces used them. Then the UN Council was delayed getting into the area, Syria found chemical weapons in the tunnels of the rebels, then the US said it was to late to inspect, the UN will not be able to prove anything from the evidence and today someone shot at the UN Council while they were inspecting the area. But the US/UK/France/Israel are telling us without a doubt that is was Assad's forces. Something just doesn't add up, and we have to remember, the rebel (US paid mercenaries) were caught with chemical weapons before and the US has been training paid mercenaries for the invasion of Syria and they were deployed on Aug 17 and 19 before the chemical weapon attack.

United Nations weapons inspectors arrived at one of the sites of last week's presumed chemical weapons attacks outside Damascus, spurning U.S. calls for the team to stop their mission as American officials said they are inching closer to a decision for a military strike.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon rebuffed the U.S. request to withdraw the inspectors and "stood firm on principle," according to a person familiar with the matter, ordering his team to continue their work establishing whether chemical weapons or toxins were responsible for the estimated hundreds of deaths of Syrian civilians.

Earlier Monday, the U.N. chemical weapons team came under fire from unidentified snipers as they examined the site of the suspected attack at Mouadhamiya, a few miles southwest of Damascus. The team retreated but returned later in the afternoon. Mr. Ban said the team visited two hospitals, interviewed survivors and doctors, and collect samples.

At the same time, U.S. officials were reaching a definitive conclusion that chemical weapons had been used by the Syrian government in military assaults last Wednesday. "Our confidence is growing that this was in fact an episode involving the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime," a senior U.S. official said, the strongest remarks to date on the use of the banned weapons.
 

Ya Know, I have to wonder when and where these WMDs were developed, and why did we not know they had them, and why was there caravans of Semis going to Syria from Iraq all of those years ago?

What exactly is the coverup and scandal and how far does this one go? Add it to the list please!
 

I did not agree with the invasion of Iraq, felt there was more to it.

But then I do remember all those threads where Saddam was shipping his chemical weapons to Syria - oh so long ago....

History Repeats: CIA Docs Reveal US Aided Saddam’s Chemical Attacks

As Obama continues to shove the blame on Syria’s Assad over the chemical attacks that were admitted by mainstream media months ago to be planned by the Obama administration to initiate military activity in Syria, declassified CIA files reveal that the US government has a history of assisting and facilitating chemical attacks against innocents.

saddam-husseinSpecifically, the declassified files expose the deeply nefarious relationship between the Reagan-led United States government and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. And just as Obama decries the chemical attacks within Syria that were actually launched by his administration as a pretext to military action, it is now revealed that Reagan played the same card back in 1988.

In both scenarios, we see that the administrations had no problem gassing women and children if it meant furthering their agenda.

For Obama, it means turning Syria into another Libya scenario, requiring the chemical attack in order to unleash the full military force of the United States in a ‘humane’ way through the response to the attacks. For Reagan back in 1988, it was essential to secure an Iraq victory first and foremost. And if it meant chemical attacks on Iran, then so be it. After all, the US government would simply deny it.

As Air Force Col. Rick Francona put it when speaking to Foreign Policy on the declassified documents,

Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran - By Shane Harris and Matthew M. Aid | Foreign Policy

“The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas. They didn’t have to. We already knew.”

You see at this time, when the attacks started in 1983, Iran could not properly pinpoint Saddam’s Iraq in the attacks. Ultimately, it came down to the United States protecting Saddam despite knowledge of the entire event. This is history repeating once more as well, since we now see the Obama-backed Syrian rebels actually carrying out the attacks for Obama as the US government plays ignorant

Take a look at the description within the Foreign Policy report on the play of events:

“In contrast to today’s wrenching debate over whether the United States should intervene to stop alleged chemical weapons attacks by the Syrian government, the United States applied a cold calculus three decades ago to Hussein’s widespread use of chemical weapons against his enemies and his own people. The Reagan administration decided that it was better to let the attacks continue if they might turn the tide of the war. And even if they were discovered, the CIA wagered that international outrage and condemnation would be muted.”

Sound familiar? As we now see the world call for attacks on Syria over the recent chemical attacks, it’s essential to look back at history. Even with Yahoo News reporting on the January 2013 plan for Obama to launch chemical attacks on Syria in order to launch a war campaign, it’s not enough for some people. History, however, tells us what’s truly going on today.
