(62,325 posts)people with Chemical weapons. I didn't believe it at first as there was no confirmation for about a day or so.
Then the Western Media began its coverage and all of a sudden we 'knew' who had done it. We were even told what the chemical was. How could they have known that unless they were there? The UN cautioned people not to make claims even about what was used until their investigation was complete.
Logic, if there is any anymore, tells me that while Assad isn't any angel, he's also not stupid. He KNEW that the West was just itching to launch an attack and speed things up in Syrian. Their two year backing of the 'rebel's wasn't going very well. Obviously they didn't expect the Syrian people to fight so hard FOR Assad.
Not to mention, we were even hearing from former ANTI Assad Syrians that the 'rebels' were all from outside the country and were killing people and causing untold harm and they were now supporting Assad, at least until the 'rebel's were defeated.
Same thing happened in Libya. So I would be surprised if Assad was that stupid, it would be almost an invitation to the Western powers to launch an attack on Syria.
