What's going on in Syria?

Assad, a leader who has shown considerable political skill surviving the attempts of the West and most of the ME to remove him for the past 6 years, suddenly decides to gas civilians a day after the Trump administration announces that America's policy is no longer "Assad must go." Hmm...

Did Assad fool both the UN and John Kerry into previously thinking that the Syrian government had handed over all its chemical weapons?

And if Assad still had CW, why use them at all, when they are less effective than bombs?

Particularly, why use them now, when his government was already winning the war, and peace talks were scheduled with members of the "moderate" opposition?

And now that Putin has said that he will still back Assad, what will happen to that Putin-Trump bromance we've been hearing so much about?

So many questions...
Here is former UK ambassador to Syria Peter Ford trying to make sense of the perplexing situation.

So now that Trump has authorised the attack on Syria - what does that make him in your opinion? Member of the lizard sect, illuminati or still the maverick establishment outsider?

Are you asserting that this latest chemical attack is the result of some US backed conspiracy, to allow the US to 'legitimise' a military action? Is Trump simply a stooge in all this?

This Daily Mail report from solid sources was published in Jan 2013. It has since been pulled from their website. It explains exactly how a chemical attack on Syria was planned and backed by US and Britain and then blamed on Assad as a justification for military action. That time it failed when an investigation discovered that the chemical weapons were used by the US-backed ISIS (AKA "moderate rebels").

This time in 2017 no investigation was done. You couldn't make it up.

Sorry... repeating other theories. I'll join in elsewhere.

ISIS and Al Nusra are "disappointed" that CIA funding, weapons supply and paying of their salaries is set to end. I wonder who will sharpen their blades for them, supply them with Huumvees, supply orange jumpsiuts for their victims and pay for their video productions now?
