Syria is raising concern in two letters to the United Nations that the United States may be attempting to frame it for the use of chemical weapons, Syrian state-run media reported Monday.

What do you believe his reason would be to use chemical weapons? It would be suicide for him to do so and it would not do him any good whatsoever.
Think about it...

I believe the line of thinking is the same as any given 911 conspiracy. What better way to declare war on another country, than to fly planes into your own buildings and blame it on somebody else.edit on 10-12-2012 by Lonewulph because: (no reason given)

I'm unsure if I read your post properly in reference to the "911" scenario you mentioned. The part where I get confused if you are implying whether or not it would be Assad, or another nation/organization who would be the ones to use these weapons. If I misunderstood please accept my apologies, and a clarification would be appreciated if possible just so I know what you meant before I comment any further.edit on 12/10/2012 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)

It certainly is complicated but we need to think bout who has what to gain from the use of chemical weapons, and in my opinion the answer to that question is quite clear. The West, and those who want regime change in Syria will have the most to gain and Assad has nothing to gain by using these weapons.
And Israel's excuse of tracking the weapons could easily be a cover for other activities. It is very difficult to take anything that these regimes say seriously, especially Israel considering their notorious reputation of lying to justify certain actions.That being said, it's not only Israel who lies as all governments lie to save their behind in the public eye.
I am not saying that Israel will definitely use chemical weapons on Syria and blame it on Assad but I am raising the possibility since it's certainly something they might do.

Is there nothing you won't twist round to make Israel the enemy? I just knew you couldn't resist it.
