First, every
honest, well-read person, not trying to promote American special
interests, knows there is no proof that Assad used chemical weapons.
Absolutely none. Even as I write, an Australian newspaper,
The Sydney Morning Herald, reports that the UN inspection team could find no evidence of chemical weapons used in the place cited by Syria’s rebel army.
A video which
made the rounds among American allies and which purported to show the
attack has been declared a fake by the UN. Russia’s secret services also
declared it a fake.
The only other
bit of “evidence” worth mentioning is a supposed recording of Syrian
officials provided to American officials by Mossad. Yes, that’s Mossad,
the very people who pride themselves on deception and who have a long
track record of expertly using it, even in several cases successfully
against the United States.
Perhaps most importantly, the United States is in no position to draw
lines or make public judgments about the behavior of anyone with regard
to such weapons.
It stands as likely the greatest user of various chemical weapons over the last four or five decades.
