Who is responsible for the chemical attacks in Syria?

15. Correction

Fact: There were chemical attacks in Syria. That isn't being disputed. Who do you believe is responsible?

Facts appear to be that roughly 1,400 people including women and children died. We are not yet certain that it was an attack by Chemical Weapons, like nerve agents be it Sarin, or VX class weapons. That is the conclusion of people who haven't been there, and are operating on symptomatic evidence.

There are other possibilities that will be eliminated with laboratory testing by the UN. Alternatives include some sort of accident which is not being considered like the Bhopal Disaster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster

Because if we rush, we're certain to make some mistakes. Like the famed Operation Infinite Reach which bombed a factory our Intelligence People swore up and down was making Chemical Weapons in the Sudan. Turns out to have been a factory cranking out chemicals all right, Aspirin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missile_strikes_on_Afghanistan_and_Sudan_(August_1998) Or worse another Iraq Intelligence pile of Bullshit.

So let's wait and see what the UN Labs in Europe turn up as the actual evidence of what the facts may be shall we? We're told that those results will be back with the full report in two weeks. Are we saying that our mighty mailed fist of vengeance can't be stayed for two lousy weeks while we confirm our information?

So the facts are that it is reported that 1,400 people died, and it is suspected that Chemical Weapons were used. We have little direct evidence of what weapon if any was used.

Many people thought that this event was a Chemical Weapons attack as well. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/gas-cloud-kills-cameroon-villagers

That was a natural event, a tragic and horrific event, but a naturally occurring event none the less.

BTW. I am not saying that Syrian victims were not attacked with Chemical Weapons. I am saying that we don't know what the facts are, and apparently our Government is in no hurry to find out.
