White House Supported Chemical Attacks in Syria

In January this year, it was reported by the U.K. Daily Mail that leaked e-mail messages between senior British Defense contractors revealed Washington approved of Qatar funding rebels to use chemical weapons in Syria, so that the United States could blame it on their government and retaliate with a military effort. The UK article was quickly archived a few days after being published. By definition, this strategy is called a "false flag" operation. As declassified evidence of this happening before, the highest ranking military commanders in the United States government at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis proposed a similar idea to the late President Kennedy, who rejected the plan entirely.

Over the Labor Day weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his disbelief in President Obama's allegations that the Syrian government attacked its own people. Putin went onto say that if the United States had real evidence that Assad was behind the chemical attacks and not the rebels, then they only need to declassify what they have and prove to him and the world the facts behind their words. Ultimately, Putin compared Obama to Bush's tactics on Iraq for invasion.

Syria's Bashar al-Assad cites that the region is at risk of war if the United States does decide to strike militarily. The Assad regime further states that the mark of "a strong man is one who prevents war, not one who inflames it."
