If US conclusions on Syrian gas use are wrong, why is Kerry still emotionally advocating the 'doing of something' the way he is and why is Obama still advocating a response? These are the actions and demonstrations of people with conclusive evidence - but where is that evidence? Why has it not been made public? We know rebel factions have access to nerve agents and have used them, we know that a Russian study showed an attack in March was rebel sourced, we know that the rebel factions have good reason to want to draw the US into the war and Assad virtually no reasons to want to tempt such a thing - and we know that so far no public case has been made by the Obama administration that clearly establishes Assad as the guilty party here - so what the hell is going on? Emotional pleas from Kerry are not proof - but if Obama knows there's no compelling case to be made against Assad why on earth would he be proceeding as if there is? Is the proof classified and can't be revealed? I haven't heard that claim being made yet. We know that Obama wants nothing to do with involvement in Syria and must logically conclude that if he's getting involved it must be because he has proof of Assad being behind the attack - but why then wouldn't you make that proof public? This story just doesn't add up - either Obama is doubling down on foolishness with ever more foolishness, or someone here is playing a convoluted and devious game the purposes of which I can't piece together. I mean, this can't all be a ruse by Obama meant to trick the GOP into voting 'no' on the use of force so that he can use that vote against them can it? That'd be ridiculous. But I defy you to find some other way to explain the inconsistencies here, other than like I said Obama doubling down on his initial foolishness, which quite frankly seems hard to believe - I mean, I don't agree with the man's thinking on just about everything but he's not an idiot - yet him being an idiot is one of the few explanations that makes sense here. I dunno - I'm not a conspiracy guy - but this just doesn't add up.
