The problem with that idea is that we will never know FOR SURE. There still is no proof on who conducted the attacks in 2013. However, there is a hell of a lot of evidence showing that Syrian government forces were responsible. Same thing in 2017..
Case for Syrian government forces being responsible (only unclassified information included): Aerial dispersal patterns which could only be possible from an air drop. Rebel forces do not have this capability. Syrian government known to possess Syrin gas and the capability to weaponize. Not believed that rebel forces are capable of the same. Radar imagery showing Syrian planes taking off from the airfield before the attack and returning shortly after.
Case for Syrian government not being responsible: A claim that the rebels were storing Syrin gas (which they are not know to have the capabilities to make) and that specific stockpile suffered a direct hit in an airstrike. There is no evidence to back up this claim.

While it is good to always be cautious, in cases such as this the unclassified evidence is overwhelmingly pointing in one direction. And if you're waiting for 100% solid proof, you'll never get it because it's impossible. There is no DNA evidence linking the killer to the crime scene so to speak.

I'll buy most of this....

However, ISIS has ransacked two countries....taking on two militaries(one being US equipped and trained), Iraq and Syria,(dated and Russian equipped)...for 6-7 years now...

I don't believe for a second that they don't have the ability to make or weaponize chemical agents..

French intelligence, US intelligence, and HRW are all in agreement that the Syrian government was responsible. All have ample evidence and telemetry data backing up their claim. The Russians and Syrian government claim the rebels are responsible. With no evidence at all. Might be time to reconsider your position.

Now there's a blue ribbon panel of information sources. Didn't all those agencies have proof that Saddam had wmd's?

You have to be ****ing with us.

The thing that makes me suspicious that ISIS did it istbat Assad literally has nothing to gain.

Are you seriously asking what ISIS has to gain by making Assad look bad?

You oversimplify things so that they are easy to digest, not because it's right way to go about a problem.

why did he imprison and kill his own people? Why did he let things get so bad his people had to rise up against him? Why did he release so many of the terrorists we captured in Iraq right before ISIS became a thing?

Look up Saydnaya Prison and its history before discussing anything Assad.

A ruthless dictator? He was democratically elected. Obviously the Syrians like him. The Alawites, Sunnis, Christians and Druze all live together in relative peace.

What we're going to do is create more chaos in the same manner that we did when we overthrew Mossedegh, Ghaddafi and Saddam.

Funny you mention all those ruthless dictators right along side Assad. Putin was elected too along with Kim jong il.

so benevolent. and funny you don't mention the shiites, Kurds and Jews among many other minorities.

I agree overthrowing is not a good idea but don't go spouting this BS that he is a popular well liked guy.

Saying Trump did something right? Seems like a first to me.

I'm pretty positive he's sided with Trump in the past.

IIRC, Carlos is fairly big on intervention...maybe not in every case, but he does hate Russia a lot and this is sort of a slight against Russia.
