In late August, 2012, Obama warned Syria not to use chemical weapons in its battle against CIA backed and Saudi and Qatari funded and armed rebels.
“We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people,” Obama said during a press conference at the White House. “We have been very clear to the Assad regime — but also to other players on the ground — that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized.
“That would change my calculus; that would change my equation.”Syria recently told the United Nations it fears al-Qaeda and other extremist groups supported by the U.S. will be equipped with chemical weapons.
On Tuesday, Syria accused CIA sponsored al-Qaeda rebels of using chemical weapons in a missile attack on the village of Khan al-Assal near the city of Aleppo. Syrian Information MinisterOmran al-Zoubi said 16 people were killed and 86 wounded by the missiles reportedly containing “poisonous gases” fired from Nairab district.
Rebels blamed the Syrian government for the deadly attack. “Why would the Free Syrian Army bomb themselves with a chemical weapon?” asked an FSA mercenary.
Now that chemical weapons have appeared on the scene — regardless of which side actually used them — the United States and Israel have an excuse to escalate tensions inside Syria and confront Assad’s military directly under the weapons of mass destruction pretext.
