Listening to radio news about Syria and the chemical weapons attack last week that led to the US missile strike. I don't understand why the US can't provide clear proof that the chemical attack was done by the Syrian regime. Instead, all we get is the word 'alleged,' constant denials by Assad and the Russians and attempts to shift blame to the rebels. What gives?
@jangles Just read a quite long piece on that Syria question in German "Spiegel". They conclude, the Russian/Syrian story seems to be false and they have some evidence the regime is responsible - but I think, it's very hard to prove http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/syrien-die-indizien-die-verschwoerungstheorien-die-fakten-zum-giftgasangriff-a-1143009.html
@tp_da I watched part of the live press conference from Moscow earlier in which the Russian foreign minister spoke of the need for an investigation into who was behind the chemical attack. Fine, get on with it!
