ASSAD USED CHEMICAL ON HIS OWN PEOPLE, BUT HOW AND WITH WHO’S HELP?

Did Assad use chemical weapons on his own people? Well, here is one answer you may not like, but listen to where I go with this. No! No, he didn’t use chemical weapons on “his people”. He used chemical weapons on those who are trying to destroy his government and those people use to be “his people”. That is how he and his Generals see it. Play on words! One of the favorite games in the region and honestly a preferred game by most political leaders. Can you say Bill Clinton?

The “if”:

If Assad did use chemical weapons on people inside Syria, how did he do it? How was the mission executed? The Russians know Western intelligence can determine what aircraft launched from where as well as what area they flew to. That is why they quickly came up with the storyline of the Syrian government bombed sites that had chemical weapons that belonged to the enemy. Short answer, “ he didn’t bomb them with the chemical weapons, but he did bomb the chemical weapons”! Okay! What is the end result? The end result is the people in the area were exposed to chemical events. Is this an outcome the military planners in Russia and Syria didn’t anticipate? I think we all know the answer to that question.

Who calls the shots in Syria:

How long has it been since Assad really makes the military decisions in Syria? Did he give the green light to bombing a weapons storage area that had chemical weapons in it? Would the Russians or the Iranians agree to such an event? Ah…now we get down to the real meat of this discussion. If the Russians were aware of weaponized chemicals, not just chlorine, being in the hands of the enemy and they decided to destroy those weapons, the right process for doing so would have been followed. Heat! You have to destroy chemical weapons with heat and no one knows that better than the US.  The type of ordinance used on the facilities these weapons may have been stored in would have been chosen to neutralize the chemical threat. That didn’t happen? Why?  

Last week, The Donald seemed to be on the edge of holding hands with the Russians on the issue of Assad and that is exactly what the Tsar was wanting. Vindication. “We were right and the US was wrong about Assad”! Vindication. A process the Tsar loves. So, in the middle of this victory for the Russians, their military walks in the room and says, “Assad is going to use chemical weapons on people in Syria”! Gone! In a virtual flash, the support from DC is gone! Why? Why would the Russians agree to such a thing? If the weapons were in the hands of the enemy, then take them out in the proper way. Did the Russians want to prove the enemy had the weapons? Why? The Donald appeared to be on the verge of giving in on Assad? Why would the Tsar stick his finger in The Donald’s eye at the last second? It didn’t happen that way? It was not an event the Russians planned or authorized.  Okay. Now what? What did happen and why?

The Mastermind:

If this event is a mystery, then what are the clues we need to look for?

Let’s start with a few basic questions.

• ·        Who would benefit from a sudden collapse of the forming Russian / US stance on Syria?
• ·        Who cannot afford to let outsiders determine the future of Syria?
• ·        Who has the ability to talk quietly to the Syrian Air Force and military leaders without the Russians knowing?
• ·        Who would not understand the proper process for attacking chemical weapons safely? Better yet, why would they agree to attack them “safely” if the world wide response is what they were banking on?
• ·        Who would know that if they did get Syria to pull this event off, the Russians could not afford to show what the West has been suspecting all along, a split in their Alliance?

If you don’t know who I am talking about, then you need to follow the region better or move on to another topic.

Yes, chemical weapons were used against Syrian citizens. Citizens that Assad’s government ether sees as traders or collateral damage.

No, the Russians had nothing to do with it.

Yes, the Russians have suffered a humiliating event at the hands of someone.

If Assad knew of this plot, then the Tsar time his next move carefully.

If I were the Persians, I would do everything in my power to convince the Tsar they had nothing to do with it.

By the way. The Turks blamed Assad. Go figure.

PS. If you read this and live in Russia, pass it around and see who might agree with me.
