The only conceivable reason Assad would have used chemical weapons against his people would have been if he were convinced his days were numbered and he wanted to go out in a sadistic blaze of glory. Where do Barack Obama’s loyalties lie in all of this? By most accounts, the Syrian ‘rebels’ have close ties to Islamic Jihadists, including Al Qaeda. Why would an American administration want to support such ‘rebels’? As bad as Assad has been, he would certainly represent the lesser of those two evils, at least at this point. This president is exhibiting antipathy, at best, toward American interests in the Middle East (and here at home, to be sure), and continued support of radical Islamist forces, like the Muslim Brotherhood. Now he may in fact be playing an integral part in the charade that claims that Assad is committing genocide, when in fact the ‘rebels’ he has been supporting behind the scenes may well be the culprits. And now he is considering major military action in his quest to see that these ‘rebels’ get the upper hand – all of this being planned under the guise of something other than what it really is. I hope his ‘hope and change’ supporters are beginning to realize that this looming cataclysm isn’t what they envisioned.
