Well, apparently it only took a handful of rockets to unleash this amount, also the rebels have sacked/taken over many Assad bases.
There's no reason they couldnt have acquired these weapons.
Also, the rebels have been caught in Turkey with the stuff:
rt.com...
Turkish security forces found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front who were previously detained, Turkish media reports. The gas was reportedly going to be used in a bomb.
The sarin gas was found in the homes of suspected Syrian Islamists detained in the southern provinces of Adana and Mersia following a search by Turkish police on Wednesday, reports say. The gas was allegedly going to be used to carry out an attack in the southern Turkish city of Adana.
so id say it is very possible!

I feel sorry for Assad.
I don't doubt it was the Rebels, its the logical scenario. But it doesn't matter, Assad is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
The west (US, Israel, UK and Saudi) chose there team a long time ago. Those 4 are more than enough to destroy Assad. Start looking for terrorist bombs in Iran going off to bog them down domestically.
Assad knows if he lets the inspectors in, Israel has enough clout there to make them point the finger at Assad.
The US and UK are using the media, look how biased it is. Even though there's no proof either way, its always pointing the blame at Assad and worse, they now demand he proves his innocence.
its all %(!(%^*! up beyond any kind of recognition, this is even worse than Bush and his side show in Iraq because Syria really will drag in other regional powers.
My guess, the US and UK will send cruise missiles into the base that the Israeli's recently said launched the attack. They will level it.
Syria may respond with a couple of anti ship missiles and Iran will let off a couple of car bombs in Tel Aviv & Iraq.
This, will be the point that cooler heads prevail or all hell breaks loose.

Al-CIAeda is so disgusted with the attack, even they're speaking ou
Al-Qaeda (/ælˈkaɪdə/ al-KY-də; Arabic: القاعدة al-qāʿidah, Arabic: [ælqɑːʕɪdɐ], translation: "The Base" and alternatively spelled al-Qaida and sometimes al-Qa'ida) is a global militant Islamist organization founded by Osama bin Laden in Peshawar, Pakistan,[19] at some point between August 1988[20] and late 1989
Some financing for al-Qaeda in the 1990s came from the personal wealth of Osama bin Laden.[63] By 2001 Afghanistan had become politically complex and mired. With many financial sources for al-Qaeda, Bin Laden's financing role may have become comparatively minor. Sources in 2001 could also have included Jamaa Al-Islamiyya and Islamic Jihad, both associated with Afghan-based Egyptians.[64] Other sources of income in 2001 included the heroin trade and donations from supporters in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries.[63] A WikiLeaks released memo from the United States Secretary of State sent in 2009 asserted that the primary source of funding of Sunni terrorist groups worldwide was Saudi Arabia.[65]
The civil war in Syria, whose Alawite regime Saudi Arabia's Sunny monarchy has long plotted against, and the prospect of a war with Shiite Iran over its reported drive to acquire nuclear weapons, preoccupy Riyadh while, Abdallah, Canute-like, strives to keep the democratic wave from breaking on its shores.
"The Saudis have been remarkably upfront and aggressive about Syria. They haven't been this open about supporting and army an opposition force since Afghanistan.

The correct term would be Saudi's GIPeda.
I know the US, and the CIA are the favorite scapegoats on here,but needs to stop perpetuating that myth.
Bin Laden created AQ, Saudi is the primary financier, the US get's all the blame.edit on 26-8-2013 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

There's an avenue I never thought of, an Al Nursa member coming out & confessing to the attacks as of late, a confession that if taken seriously & true could blow this whole thing wide open. Just imagine the implications because it won't just end with the chemical attacks.
This is all very interesting & I hope that twitter feed isn't a fake cuz we've been prey to hoax accounts before. I will be following this thread.
You don't become the leader of the most powerful country in the world by being an idiot, even if the position is nothing more than a window dressing for democracy.
I don't care why Obama has resisted involvement in the Syrian conflict. I only care that this specific position aligns with my own ideals. Therefor, I would continue to support his resistance, regardless of what I personally think of him or his other policies.

Folks, think logically about strategy not mere tactics over this affair.
What in the world would Assad gain by ordering a gas attack as the UN investigation team was on its way?
The only explanation of that would be a maverick military group that committed the act outside of his orders.
But it that were the case, we should be hearing of a purge of those officers very soon.
He had absolutely nothing to gain. After all, was that such an overwhelming gas attack that it gave him a strategic advantage on the rebels? Hardly, There simply is not justifiable reason Assad would order such an attack.

Oh yea, letting the rebels know you will gas their ass, giving them a taste, could very well cool their heals a bit. Lots to gain there.
Now if you mean what does he have to gain elsewhere, maybe he doesn't care about what he gains elsewhere. That is with the US ect. If he had been worried about that he wouldn't be allowing Hezbollah do what it does, but he does because that's his game. He wouldn't be in bed so deep with Iran. ect ect. I could go on all day.
At any rate that's about the extent of his political motivation. Nothing really complex here just your good ol clinging to power 2,4,6. No complex political posturing here.
