I disagree. There is little or no evidence that Assad used these weapons and much that this was an accident that occurred in the rebel areas because they did not know how to handle the weapons. The effects of the chemicals were not those of military grade weaponry.
So you 100% believe that a child was dismembered by the rebels while still alive...despite there being absolutely ZERO proof of the same?
Yet..Your skepticism suddenly springs to life when it comes to the overwhelming tonnage of evidence that the Assad regime used chemical weapons????
Has it occurred to you that the Assad regime has now said it would hand over it's chemical weapons to an international force as Russia proposed? Yes, that's right...the very same Chemical Weapons they have 100% denied having...they now suddenly acknowledge.
Or that your theory of the rebels accidentally dispersing Saran gas is full of more holes than swiss cheese?
There are hundreds of eye-witness accounts collected by the UN, Human Rights Watch and a dozen other orgs all recounting Syrian Rockets.
There are recovered pieces of the Syrian rockets.
There are multiple videos...not just one...from multiple sources...so the nun claim is nonsense.
And apparently, though not publicly released yet, the NSA got the Assad regime on multiple taps, multiple officials, discussing the attack and how to deny it.
But...hell Someone Somewhere claims there is a video of a child being dismembered...yet no one can find the video...and THAT is indisputable proof?
Again...I am against intervention, but WOW is this OP a load of BS.

Mother Agnes Mariam: ‘Footage of Syria Chemical Attack Is a Fraud’
By Daniel McAdams at 02:30 am EDT on September 10, 2013
Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria, told RT today that she has evidence that the video footage currently being shopped around by Sen. Feinstein and the Obama administration as proof that the Syrian president used gas on his own people is a fraud. Part of the problem with the videos is that they were all taken nearly at the same time as the alleged attack itself. How to gather all the bodies in one place and begin videotaping in some cases before the attack had even taken place?
Source
A total of twelve Alawite villages were subjected to this horrendous attack. That was a true slaughterhouse. People were mutilated and beheaded. There is even a video that shows a girl being dismembered alive – alive! – by a frame saw. The final death toll exceeded 400, with 150 to 200 people taken hostage. Later some of the hostages were killed, their deaths filmed.
We do not of course have proof that this is true, but in light of other reports of similar atrocities carried out by the 'rebel' forces at this time I can see no good reason to doubt it.
It disgusts me that the US regime backs these people, people who by all accounts should be the enemy of the US.
Along with what it seems may be planned as documented in this thread the drums of war are beating and all advice is being ignored.
I can only hope that Assad manages to get the chemical weapons under International control BEFORE the 'planned attack' false flag if it happens. That would make it much more difficult for the US regime to hold it's head up in the International community as they would be uncovered for the warmongering bloodthirsty despots that they are.
The US is in serious need of a regime change.

No parts of military weapons have been recovered as far as I am aware. Perhaps you should quote you sources if you believe otherwise.
"Two separate surface-to-surface rocket systems believed to be associated with the delivery of chemical agents were identified. The first type of rocket, found at the site of the Eastern Ghouta attacks, is a 330mm rocket that appears to have a warhead designed to be loaded with and deliver a large payload of liquid chemical agent. The second type, found in the Western Ghouta attack, is a Soviet-produced 140mm rocket that, according to reference guides, has the ability to be armed with one of three possible warheads, including one specifically designed to carry and deliver 2.2 kilograms of Sarin." - Human Rights Watch

You are entitled you your opinion. My only suggestion to you is that you learn to read what is written and do some research rather than sucking up the Kool aid of the MSM.edit on 10/9/2013 by PuterMan because: (no reason given)

You don't believe the US backs the rebels? Ah well, each to his or her own.
One day the US regime will topple and the world will be a safer place.
Ok so you have no proof or source for these claims.
Furthermore you link to an article that flat out lies.

Here in America the power does belong to the people. We hold elections and vote for the people we want to represent us to enact policy and law.I'm not sure you understand how democracy works. Since you seem to think you know who is in "power" that somehow disregards the past 100 or so yrs. Can share you with me who these real people are in power and where you came across this knowledge that no one else seems to know about.
that no one else seems to know about.

I don't think I need you to teach me to suck eggs.
I am very aware of how governments work. Obviously you are not. The link you give actually shows you just how wrong you are in thinking that politicians control the power and states those bodies that are in power in the US. If you believe those bodies are ruled by politicians then please continue on your merry way in blissful ignorance.
Continuity of government is not by politician but by the entities that control governments, whatever name they may be given. Maybe you don't understand that this is a conspiracy site?

lol. I have to give you a star just because you made me spit coffee all over.
You are the best example of just how brainwashed many Americans are.
Its like you read your response from a textbook or a script.
See ATS this is why the world will never change, there are too many people like this in the world who just have no idea how things really work and only believe information that comes from "official sources".
