There were reports last weekend that Syrian rebels admitted to Dale
Gavlak, a respected middle east correspondent for the Associated Press
and the Public Broadcasting Network, that they (the rebels) were
responsible for the chemical gas attacks on August 21st.

The rebels claim that the chemical weapons were provided by Prince
Bandar bin Sultan (the intelligence chief of Saudi Arabia) and were
the result of an accident caused by rebels mishandling and not
knowing that they were chemical weapons.

The rebels told Gavlak that they were not properly trained on how to
handle the chemical weapons or even told what they were. It appears as
though the weapons were initially supposed to be given to the Al-Qaeda
offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra.

“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them. We didn’t
know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical
weapons.”


So, if true, what now?

Where've you been? This is what Greg and I were discussing last week.
