Flimsy Evidence: Syria

Syria: The "evidence" for the Assad regimes use of sarin nerve gas is flimsy, and its easy to see why the opposition fighters might choose to fabricate it. Equally flimsy evidence about alleged "weapons of mass destruction" was used to justify the American invasion of Iraq. Why wouldnt the Syrian rebels have a go at the same game? , according to Winnipeg Free Press. President Bashar al-Assads Russian and Chinese supporters would be embarrassed, but they would not drop their vetoes at the UN Security Council and authorize foreign military intervention in Syria. And even if they did authorize it, there would be no volunteers for the job. First of all, dismiss all those news stories saying that the Assad regime has started using chemical weapons against its own citizens, and that this has crossed a "red line" and will trigger foreign military intervention in Syria. It is conceivable, though highly unlikely, that Assads troops have used poison gas against the rebels. It is not credible that any foreign leader is going to order his troops to go into Syria and stop the war. Moreover, there is no plausible reason why the Syrian regime would use poison gas. It would confer no lasting military advantage on the government forces, and the political costs of being caught doing it would be significant. But even if the accusations were true, it would make no real difference. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
