How do you know its true? The western countries seem to use events like these to go to war with Middle eastern countries. Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, 10 years later we have none. Don’t get swept up in the propaganda of the west. Go to syria and find out yourself then decide. Your opinions would be dramatically changed from the ones you have sitting behind a computer screen.

I would agree with McPendo here… don’t be so sure that what you are being fed by the western media is the truth. You dont even have to go to Syria to decide the truth, if you have any relatives or friends sitting in the middle east…ask them what they know of the situation… sitting here what we know is drastically different than what we would believe if we were sitting in the States.
Be critical of the propaganda being fed to you, the west doesnt exactly have a track record of transparency when it comes to issues related to the Mid East.

US ‘backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria, blame it on Assad govt’: Report](Yahoo Search - Web Search)
By ANI | ANI – **Wed 30 Jan, 2013
**
London, Jan 30 (ANI): The Obama administration gave green signal to a chemical weapons attack plan in Syria that could be blamed on President Bashar al Assad’s regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country, leaked documents have shown.
A new report, that contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence, showed a scheme ‘approved by Washington’.
As per the scheme ‘Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to usechemical weapons,’ the Daily Mail reports.
Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria using chemical weapons against its own people.
According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam’s Business Development Director David Goulding to company founder Philip Doughty.
The emails were released by a Malaysian hacker who also obtained senior executives resumes and copies of passports via an unprotected company server, according to Cyber War News.
According to the paper, the U.S. State Department has declined to comment on the matter. (ANI)

^nobody is supporting Bashar here, he is brutal, but I don’t think he is really that stupid that when he is close to winning the war with the help of his allies he will CW his own people. all we are saying is where is the proof that Assad regime is behind CW, just because US intelligence says so? how about they wait till UN panel is done with the investigation and reports are out, as to who exactly was behind CW attacks before jumping to the conclusion and preparing for yet another war.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
first of all, US will never invade Syria like it did in Iraq so lets stop comparing Syria with Iraq. If anything it’s going to be the missile attacks/aerial bombing of Assad’s army.
Secondly, even if CW in Syria is a set up by US I would still support taking out Assad by US keeping the brutalities in my mind carried out by Assad regime.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
and what would these limited strikes achieve? how will the humanitarian situation on ground improve by these strikes? Its almost impossible to avoid civilian casualties…Also, it will unleash the response from Syrian government, Hezbollah, Iran or even Russia…hence there would be only more deaths and chaos and it wont be just confined to Syria, but will engulf the entire region.
Assad must go, but how about they look at alternative options like diplomatic channels, a ceasefire, UN should get involved, stake holders in the region should come together and find a solution.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
To ignore the crimes of a butcher like Assad and try to couch it as a western propaganda is pretty unacceptable. Those of you here questioning that whether he did it or not, how do you know that he didnt, any proof?
The quicker the world gets rid of the barbaric Assad who has killed thousands to save his family dynasty, the better, dont care who does it. Lets not be blinded by our anti west rhetoric and close our eyes to the sufferings of the innocents in Syria. Assad is a monster and the world needs to get rid of him.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
I have least interest in the politics of Syria but just seeing how people selectively pick n choose heroes and villains in the middle east, Afghanistan and Pakistan surprises me sometimes.
To see if our reaction to what is happening in Syria is based on objective analysis of the situation or our inherent sympathies it would be interesting to have a poll with the following options: I am a …
A. Sunni supporting Rebels
B. Sunni supporting Assad
C. Shia supporting rebels
D. Shia supporting Assad
E. Neutral
I expect to see a lot of As and Ds. I’d be happy if that isn’t the case.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
You are Right Raymond Davis comes to mind, I am with you, but why was Justice ingnored by Pakistan Govt I ask???
Ehsan Bhai proof is given by ex Iranian President Hashmi Rafshanjani below…

kabhi socha hai?
Ehsan Bhai this was declared by the Iranian Ex President:
(Reuters) - Former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said the Syrian government, a strong ally of Tehran, had carried out chemical weapons attacks against its own people, the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency reported on Sunday.
“The people have been the target of chemical attacks by their own government and now they must also wait for an attack by foreigners,” Rafsanjani said, according to ILNA. “The people of Syria have seen much damage in these two years.” (Reporting By Yeganeh Torbati, Editing by William Maclean and Andrew Heavens)
… QED Like my math Teacher used to say!
So what will all of us sitting behind/or in front of the komputer do?
All of you who do not wish to believe this here is what can Happen in Pakistan, or for that matter anywhere in the World! Nauzobillah!
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
The whole world is asking the question whether he did it or not. Except obviously America and “coalition of the willing”. Until now America has not shared any proof with the world and only wants the world to “believe” in its own assessment.
So there is no proof at this moment, one way or another. BUT … there is a logical argument. The last thing Assad wants is to involve Americans in Syria. And when he already has upper hand in fight against rebels/Qaeda, then why would he do this stupid and idiotic act of using chemical weapons and give the Americans the justification it desperately needs to attack Syria?
Looking at it another way. You are demanding proof that Assad did not use those weapons. But actually it should be you PROVIDING proof that he used the weapons. Because it is you who is making the allegation.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
^ So you don’t think ex Iranian President Hashimi Rafshanjani has any Idea what he is talking about?

Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
look at it another way, you are saying that there is no proof that Assad did this. That means you are saying the other side did it. You prove that. Whether Assad did it or not is not what matters to me. It is because Assad chose to brutalised a whole nation in order to perpetuate his brutal rule that the situation got to this, so he has to carry the blame.
Re: Gassing Children in a Damascus Neighborhood; Assad must be a Suicidal Maniac!
Don’t be so clever. I am talking about the lawlessness in America when it comes to controlling sale and use of guns and the manic American people who are willing to use them for no reason sometimes on children.
