That was one element I was thinking when I made my post #40 in this thread. When reading about Sarin gas (starting with Wikipedia and going forward) the stuff has a short shelf life. Literally a few weeks. The Iraqi's under Saddam Hussein did try to boost the shelf life by increased purity but from the various de-classified intel I've read, you're still only gaining another week or 2. The chances that Syria is deploying Iraqi made Sarin is all but unlikely.
Could Syria be making their own? That's a mixed bag at the moment from what I can tell. There are even questions that it wasn't Sarin and may have been something else still. But let's say Syria had Sarin and could use it. I would think they would consider that should they use such, they would know this act would be a game changer and open the doors for a global call for regime change. Political leaders can be irrational so it's not beyond the pale but for the moment I'm not convinced Syria has reached that end.
But who would benefit from such an occurrence? Israel would have to be at or near the top of such a list. And using rogue means to such an end is not beyond their style IMO. One need look no further than the assassination arm of Mossad otherwise known as MEK to realize that potential. Just as Israel and Mossad created Hamas to disrupt Palestinian efforts at self governance. Neither of these actions are secret and in fact well known and documented.
Col. Wilkerson's comments are the first of what I've waited to see if it would begin to come out and now that someone has begun to beat the grass, let's just see if more join and it startles the snakes. That may be the moment of truth. I salute Col. Wilkerson for speaking out as he's been brave enough to do so before. From the Colonel's POV, he saw a good man in his boss get used and he's been willing to say so. Over the last century or so we've had lots of brave soldiers speak out pointing at the smoke and we still refuse to consider that it just may well mean there really is a fire.
And for the record, I agree with Obama and his "wait and see" attitude on this issue although with the vested interests involved not sure how long he can stay that course. He and the rest of us may well be the political victims of zionist gamesmanship and he's wise at least to wait it out to see what develops. He's not done a lot to cheer about on the foreign front from my POV but I'll give him credit where I think credit is due. We've been lied down this road before often by the same cast of characters so restraint is prudent.
