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.

Every sentence you just typed is completely leading and couched in completely corralling rhetoric.....
You already know exactly what you want as reply's.
Poor showing old boy.
Are the questions I pose not the logical ones to be asking in such a circumstance? Is the opinion of the former UK ambassador to Syria not worth considering when it comes to Syria? Is Sky news also on your ever-growing list of Russian controlled media? You are right though, unless I hear a persuasive argument otherwise, my opinion about this issue is already formed: it's not what it seems.

It is NOT what it seems. The previous Sarin attacks in 2013 were blamed on the Assad Government. Then it turned out to be Sarin shipped in through Turkey and the weaponisation completed in ISIS occupied Syria by ISIS with technical support from its western backers (the Company and the Usual Suspects). The MSM went very quiet once this was revealed. Seymour Hersh wrote an excellent, lengthy explanation of Obama and Hillary's warmongering and inhuman involvement in the gassing of Syrian civilians. It was published in the London Review of Books.

The latest atrocity is without a doubt another attempt to smear Assad and create an excuse for US Military Industrial Complex involvement in rebooting a war which was reaching its closing stages.
