I think we don't know; I don't trust our intelligence to get it right; I don't trust the Obama administration to get it right;
We should stay the fuck out of this mess.........this doesn't represent a threat to us; much less an imminent threat as Kerry laid out on Friday !
And could this be a set up by the anti-assad groups ?
Yes. It has happened before.

The only group that would really benefit from the use chemical warfare would be the opposition. However how they would get their hands on chemical weapons would also be another question. I think we should stay out of this conflict and fix the problems we have at home.
