We know who are the possible culprits, us Russia and China. It seems both we and Russia are trying to hide something.

Obama says that the UN report doesn't matter because it won't prove who did the gassing. Putin says it was the insurgents/rebels who did the first gassings and he has sent the Russians own inspection report about the first two gassings earlier this year to the UN. British Parliament voted down supporting us and China said it won't support a UN resolution to attack.

So... I'm wondering why it's just US that is rushing to go ahead. Could it be that Saudi Arabia gave them the Chemical Weapons? Saudi Arabia is our ally...but, I can't imagine they would send CW stamped "Made in SA." We have CW makers but, would they mark containers "Made in the USA?"

What is so important that Obama still feels we will act alone if we have to?

that Bandar Bush is pretty much involved in the arming of the rebels with the covert aid of our CIA?
Adam Entou of The Wall Street journal is their expert on this.

Guess we need to find out more about what this reporter knows.

That Saddam moved his chemical weapons to Syria during the gulf war build up. But who knows.We didn't find anything, yet everybody knew he had them, the world watched him gas the Kurds several times. That was back when gassing people was ok, because Saddam was fighting Iran for us by proxy.

...the chemicals used to make CW. Phillips Petroleum (now Conoco-Phillips) and Alco-something. The ingredient chemicals are called precursers, they have an extended shelf-life. Once mixed into Sarin, shelf-life is limited...fewer impurities giving longer shelf-life.

Saddam delivered CWs (believed to be several types) by artillery and aerial bombs. Assad (allegedly) used rockets. Its possible, likely even, that some of Saddam's CWs disappeared across the border to Syria. Any that were already mixed have likely gone bad by now. If precurser chemicals Saddam possessed came into Assad's hands, they might still be good-I don't know exact lifespan.

The Government was accused of “breathtaking laxity” in its arms controls last night after it emerged that officials authorised the export to Syria of two chemicals capable of being used to make a nerve agent such as sarin a year ago.

The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, will today be asked by MPs to explain why a British company was granted export licences for the dual-use substances for six months in 2012 while Syria’s civil war was raging and concern was rife that the regime could use chemical weapons on its own people. The disclosure of the licences for potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride, which can both be used as precursor chemicals in the manufacture of nerve gas, came as the US Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States had evidence that sarin gas was used in last month’s atrocity in Damascus.

and had them before the Iraq War.

Western countries have not shipped chemical weapons to Syria, what some European companies have done is ship chemicals that can be used in chemical weapons, almost certainly in compliance with their countries laws, in addition to legitimate uses.

If a company ships steel to Syria in the expectation that the steel will be used for bridges or office buildings, should they be blamed if the steel is used to build tanks?

too slow, and the UN will confirm it was the rebels (not that that'll stop the media: 10 years later I've still caught AP saying "when Hussein kicked out the inspectors--&quot
