46. I don't buy it.

Somehow, magically, Bashar is allowed to go to the international community to dispose of his chemical weapons, but he couldn't have pleaded with the international community that he lost control of them? That would've been a big no-no? It makes no sense to me.

Hell, Russia could've been leading this thing. "Assad lost control over the sarin, we need to get rid of the terrorist threat because sarin winds up being released in urban areas in EU or the United States by terrorists."

Shit, the US would even be able to use drones to get the rebels with the gas, Assad could call up Obama and be all "hey, the terrorists with sarin are at XYZ, we need you to come blow 'em up with your drones, we'll even let you use our army base." Make it an open statement, be public about it, it'd be hilarious.

I frankly do not think that "terrorists" or "rebels" have any sarin at all. I think it is all a PSYOPS. If you want the intercepts to be released, as do I, I'd hope you'd want hard evidence of the so called rebel sarin gas threat, as well. It seems as if that ultimately only one side is expected to show its evidence. And since no sides are showing any evidence we have to figure this crap out on our own. And what we keep figuring out is that it's just increasingly unlikely the rebels were behind it. As if that really matters anyway.
