In reply to the discussion: Obama: US Has Concluded That Syrian Government Carried Out Chemical Weapons Attack [View all]christx30
(6,241 posts)now. Before the UN is able to complete their work. Can't let the people know the truth.
Who stood to benefit from the "attack"?
Not Assad. The US military is going to mess him up.
The rebels? It gets the US involved because of the red line.
The Russians? They get to sell Assad weapons trashed in the war.
Iran? They've been gagging for a reason to attack Isreal for years.
American war profiteers? That's a big "duh" there.
What's more likely? After two years of Civil War in which he's holding his own, al-Assad decides to launch a chemical attack against a suburban populations just for the hell of it?
Or an interested third party seeking wealth, power, social/political change, decides this powder keg needs to ignite and decides to strike a match?
Well, I may not be the smartest guy in the planet. I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea (and how does that little plastic bird keep drinking the water?)But Obama has to have considered this. So either his people are very wrong, or he's hired people that are very good at lying to him, or he's complicit.
