So now Kerry is a liar?

121. I can't picture Kerry staying in the dark for long.

We shall see. I think we have good reason to distrust what our government says.

And there may be alternative scenarios to the claim that Assad used the chemical weapons.

Kerry may just feel that something has to be done and have decided to take a chance that Assad used the weapons since he feels that is a more logical conclusion based on limited evidence.

Seems to me that if Assad did not use the chemical weapons, he would be more helpful in providing evidence a) that he did not and b) that a specific group among the rebels did.

At the least, he could cooperate with the US in trying to find out who did use the weapons. That is all based on a hypothetical presumption that Assad did not use the chemical weapons.

In other words, if Assad did not use the chemical weapons, wouldn't he assist in providing proof that he did not use them?

And if he did use them, wouldn't he act as he has been acting? Being very slow to invite investigators in, etc.?

But all of that is conjecture, not evidence. I think we need more information about why Kerry and our government think it was Assad.

I think that the rebels could have been given the rockets to send in the chemical weapons but if that is the case, Assad might have a means to find out evidence supporting that theory.

I think that everything is up to Assad now.

But we cannot allow either side to use chemical weapons.
