contradictions? I said the same about General Idriss and the atrocities committed by the U.S. supported rebels. So what if they committed the use of chemical weapons that were supplied by these countries under covert activities? Will anybody invade the U.S. and her allies? President Obama and his Administration has categorically denied the rebels have access or the means to carry these attacks out but others say they do have those capabilities and some even mentioned they were supplied by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey with the means, They even point the fingers at Israeli intelligence supplying the same rebels.

Of course you dismiss these as lies or turn a deaf ear on this information like many did when an intelligence chief lied before Congress about gathering information on American citizens.

Let me also point to the lies about who actually used chemical weapons in the Iran\Iraq War when a UN investigation was called in to investigate. The early verdict was we don't know who used them between Iraq and Iran but when all was said and none, it turned out to be a fabrication just because the U. S. and her Allies such as Britain, France and of course Saudi Arabia and Gulf States were all backing Saddam Hussein and very afraid of an Iranian victory in the War. This is only a repeat of History because they are losing the Syrian War. They and only one side have every motive to manufacture evidence because the Syrian Army is pulverizing the so called rebels. They can't allow Assad to come out on top either. Especially when the main objective by the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia,Qatar and Turkey was to eliminate the Triumirate of Hezbullah, Syria and eventually accuse Iran of falsifying their attempts to build nuclear weapons. The U.S. is not innocent in this affair from the very beginning and never has been. They concocted this scheme from the very beginning starting with CIA covert activities during the Arab Spring. Syria was always the main target alone with other countries not toeing the line in the Middle East. I don't think the U.S. will win this War even if they do carry it out because resistance from groups in the region has hardened against intervention for several reasons. One is the idea of Imperialist and colonial reasons, another is the idea of Israel being involved in taking down Arab countries for their benefit. That is what you and others don't understand about the human mind. It is just turning the Middle East into a killing field and it will eventually spread. It will not spare the loss of many innocent American and Western lives either. That is the holistic picture when all is said and done, and it will be President Obama's legacy when the History books are written. It will not place America in a very favorable view either.
