NPR said that the latest incident was in an area controlled by the rebels. They wrote "the alleged chemical attack happened in the Ghouta region of Damascus. It is controlled by the rebels, and civilians in the area sympathize with the rebels."
SO the question becomes where exactly were the victims? Were they in a location that would likely have been the target of a government rocket or were they in a position that more likely could have come from a store under control of the rebels?
This seems like exactly the sort of question we would expect the US team to answer. So why is Obama forcing the UN team to pack up 2 days early and rush out of there before they can complete a competent evaluation? Isn't it worth taking a couple of days to get closer to the truth?
