re: Russia: Syria chemical attack 'fabrication' by foreign power

For a layman like myself the Russian narrative makes the most sense.

Why would Assad gas the opposition at a point where the war is all but over, knowing the international community is watching every step.

It makes sense that in a last ditch effort the rebels (with Israel) pull something like this in hopes the U.S. gets involved and helps them gain ground.

Also, why would Assad be "one and done" on chem/bio weapons if he were the culprit? Like the Austin Package Bomber, why isn't Assad ordering more and more attacks? According to the "experts" he's a despot madman who routinely gasses his own. So where's the follow up attacks?

If you check back a year ago with that attack, I was strongly against POTUS getting us stuck in Syria like his predecessors have gotten us stuck in ME sand traps. I still am! Stay on the fairways and away from the sand traps Mr. President.

He wouldn't.
