Who done it?
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? |

Get George back.

In an exclusive report for Mint Press News, interviews with Syrians in the location of the chemical attacks seems to point to direct Saudi involvement in providing the chemical weapons for the attack. And it doesn't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime... |

You didn't answer the question. So, if true, what now? |

You didn't answer the question. So, if true, what now? According to Mint Press News, which "broke" this news story: Clarification: Dale Gavlak assisted in the research and writing process of this article, but was not on the ground in Syria. Reporter Yahya Ababneh, with whom the report was written in collaboration, was the correspondent on the ground in Ghouta who spoke directly with the rebels, their family members, victims of the chemical weapons attacks and local residents. Gavlak is a MintPress News Middle East correspondent who has been freelancing for the AP as a Amman, Jordan correspondent for nearly a decade. This report is not an Associated Press article; rather it is exclusive to MintPress News. I'll wait for some enterprise reporting from authentic news organizations, not from a freelancer who is correspondent for a web blog. I find it hard to believe that a Saudi prince who was his country's ambassador to the United States, who got a master's at Johns Hopkins, and who has been a major player in his country is dealing chem weapons from the bottom of the deck to Syrian rebels. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, whatever else he is, isn't a traitor to his country like Dick Cheney. |

Notice he didn't call them back? I think the poor bugger now realizes all of his saber rattling was a huge mistake. It's off his shoulders now. Funny how he's always able to shrug off responsibility. |

The administration continues to state the evidence shows it was the Assad folks who employed the weapons. The UN team was specifically *not* tasked to determine who employed the weapons. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this were an al Qaeda ploy to get US involvement. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

And it doesn't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime... Reuters was not able to verify the accounts independently and they were denied by Syrian state television, which said they were disseminated deliberately to distract a team of United Nations chemical weapons experts which arrived three days ago. Logically, it would make little sense for the Syrian government to employ chemical agents at such a time, particularly given the relatively close proximity of the targeted towns (to the U.N. team), said Charles Lister, analysts at IHS Janes Terrorism and Insurgency Center. Who benefits from staging a chemical weapons event in Syria? Answer: the opposition. The Wests has already announced it ambiguous red line, stating that its policy will be to intervene militarily if either side is thought to be using chemical weapons in Syria which makes it all to easy for the opposition to get what they want in the end which is a Libya-style military coalition with NATO, and perhaps Israel, in order to take power in the country. http://www.informationclearinghouse....ticle35925.htm John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
