It's also interesting that he suggests that the opposition may have released the chemical weapons, not a line you hear often in the American media, but often suggested in the foreign media (so I'm told by people I know who can read Arabic).

I've only seen this article on one "American" website, and it wasn't remotely reliable. I've been wondering what the foreign media are saying about that as well. Huh.

I have no way of know if this is credible or not. And I'm not saying that I think this or that happened, just that it seems to be a given on American news that Assad definitely is the perpetrator. End of story. Seems suspicious is all.

I wonder if the rebels had the thought process "if we release some chemical weapons somewhere and pin it on Assad, the UN will get involved."
