Why won't the President share with us his proof it was Assad?

46. These youtube videos don't prove anything.

We can't verify who is responsible. We can't even verify how many were killed...(estimated between 200 people and 1400 people)

When President Kennedy spoke to American public during the Cuban Missile Crisis he displayed U-2 flight photographs that provided positive proof of what the United States had for months suspected: that the Soviet Union was installing medium-range nuclear weapons in Cuba, capable of striking major U.S. cities and killing tens of millions of Americans within minutes. With the October 14 photographs, the United States caught the Soviet Union building offensive nuclear missile bases in its backyard.


In contrast Obama has not provided any proof whatsoever.

CNN explicitly stated the videos were “hard to watch, but do not prove who was behind the attack.” The Washington Post, in its coverage, also acknowledged, “The videos do not make clear who used the chemical weapons.”
The evidence that Assad ordered his own people to be gassed on August 21 is not as airtight as the Obama administration would like the public believe, as officials appear on news programs while media replay these videos on television. A German newspaper has recently reported that, according to German intelligence, “Syrian brigade and division commanders had been asking the Presidential Palace to allow them to use chemical weapons for the last four-and-a-half months.” However, “Permission had always been denied,” which raises questions about whether the August 21 attack was ordered by Assad or committed by rogue commanders.

As the Associated Press wrote in a September 8 report, “The US government insists it has the intelligence to prove it, but the American public has yet to see a single piece of concrete evidence—no satellite imagery, no transcripts of Syrian military communications—connecting the government of President Bashar Assad to the alleged chemical weapons attack last month that killed hundreds of people.”.

AP further reported that the Obama administration has said its “assessment is based mainly on satellite and signal intelligence, including indications in the three days prior to the attack that the regime was preparing to use poisonous gas.” But, “Multiple requests to view that satellite imagery have been denied, though the administration produced copious amounts of satellite imagery earlier in the war to show the results of the Syrian regime’s military onslaught.”
