"EU OFFICIALS have agreed that the August 21 chemical attack outside Damascus appears to have been the work of Syria's regime" This very statement is entirley the opposite to cut and dry. It means that its possible it was him, not that it was definately him. Obama even came out and said it was likely to have been Assad, but not that without doubt it was him. For some bizarre reason, you have taken from this article it was 100% Assad, and I really do not understand how you have come to this conclusion. It is fine to say that it seems or appears that it was him, but to categorically state that it was Assad after reading some article that doesnt even say so is real weird.

Did he kill 1400 people including 400 children in cold blood in a few minutes? Which is the bigger crime here? Be honest. A guy pretending to eat a dead soldiers heart or Assad killing 1400 people in a few minutes?

realweirdo wrote: » I wouldn't call it saturating the media so much as trying to convince the American people of the need to confront users of chemical weapons. The American people range from the hardcore isolationists in all parties and factions who are opposed to anything which smells like intervention any where...they were against intervention in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Libya...Their ancestors were against intervention in WW1 and when Hitler was gassing the Jews they were against intervention then too...what happened in Europe with Hitler was none of American's business...the more Hitler killed, the less of America's business it was. It was only when attacked by Japan that America reluctantly dropped its isolationists stance and even then there were people opposed to getting involved in the war. Aside from that, the ordinary man or woman on the street in America is reactionary and would struggle to point out Syria on the map. They are like children, they have to be stepped through everything, because their instinct is isolationist in all circumstances.

As for propaganda i think you will find the American propaganda machine is working 24/7 saturating the American people with one sided facts and arguments to suit the government position of attacking Syria.

realweirdo wrote: » No propaganda, absolutely not...Its the Russians and Iranians who in the main do the propaganda. You are clearly not too famliliar with what happened in the Damascus attack and are so blinded by anti americanism that I doubt you care too much. The attack happened in conjunction with a major push by Assad forces on the area that was targeted..no-one doubts that, even the Assad government have admitted they attacked the area. Secondly, the UN inspectors were prevented by the Assad regime for days from getting to the site while Assad forces relentlessly bombed and shelled the site of the attack. For the last time, you would think Assad forces would stop shelling the area and be eager to get the UN Inspectors to the site immediately, if they were certain it was the rebels who carried it out. The rebels do not have the capability to deliver the kinds of shells that were delivered and in such numbers, no-one seriously disputes that except for the anti american brigade. MSF have verified there was a large scale attack in the area using neuro toxin agents - again you can't argue MSF are pro war. A recently defected Assad chemical weapons expert has said Assad used chemical weapons in Aleppo in an attack blamed on rebels by the anti american brigade. A brave admission by the defector seeing as it now opens him to a possible war crimes trial and/or retribution from FSA elements. This kind of blows a big hole in the theory that the FSA have carried out any chemical weapons attacks..so far all chemical weapons attacks have been carried out by Assad from the dropping of napalm and phosperous to the use of sarin on a massive scale in Damascus against civilians. The UN will no doubt verify the use of chemical weapons in time, but of course the Russians have said they aren't allowed say which side they came from, another obstructionist move from the Russians - you would think if the Russians really believed the FSA carried out the attack, they would be keen to have it proved to the world. It all points to one conclusion, Assad and Assad alone carried out this attack. No-one seriously doubts that...except the anti american brigade of course who don't seriously doubt it either by the way.
