“Wrongly claiming”!? Guess you are correct Reuters, Assad did it! Saddam DIDN’T? How can you possibly justify those two paragraphs!?

Direct link between Assad and gas attack elusive for U.S.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/07/us-syria-crisis-attack-idUSBRE98603A20130907
No direct link to President Bashar al-Assad or his inner circle has been publicly demonstrated, and some U.S. sources say intelligence experts are not sure whether the Syrian leader knew of the attack before it was launched or was only informed about it afterward.
While U.S. officials say Assad is responsible for the chemical weapons strike even if he did not directly order it, they have not been able to fully describe a chain of command for the August 21 attack in the Ghouta area east of the Syrian capital.
It is one of the biggest gaps in U.S. understanding of the incident, even as Congress debates whether to launch limited strikes on Assad’s forces in retaliation.
YET this?:
After wrongly claiming that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 U.S. invasion, the U.S. intelligence community, along with the Obama administration, are trying to build as solid a case as they can about what it says was a sarin nerve gas attack that killed over 1,400 people.

The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injured 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians.[1][2] Thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack.[3] The incident, which has been officially defined as an act of genocide against the Kurdish people in Iraq,[4] was and still remains the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history.[5]

..to those of us, that are considered the unwashed ignorant ‘s, in this country..’cause you just have to bow to the most intelligent master of the world, #44, that WHEN this “October Surprise” does happen and it goes askew, Netanyahu and Israel WILL be blamed.
This cat playing with mouse, with the U.S. being the cat and Persia being the mouse game, that this administration has been doing, has and is leading TO the I’m Great and Israel isn’t, scenario.
