Well it looks like Assad actually used the gas attack because he was desperate.
Participants at a confidential meeting of German lawmakers on Monday
said the head of the BND foreign intelligence agency told them it had
intercepted a phone call believed to be between a high-ranking member of
the Lebanese Shi'ite militant group and the Iranian Embassy in
Damascus.
"The BND referred to a phone call they had heard between a Hezbollah
official and the Iranian embassy in which he spoke about Assad having
ordered the attack," one of the participants told Reuters.
In the phone call, the Hezbollah official says Assad's order for the
attack was a mistake and that he was losing his nerve, the participants
reported the BND briefing as saying. Both Iran and Hezbollah support
Assad.
I agree with the Hezbollah official when he said that the attack was a mistake. However, seeing all the dithering on Capital Hill about striking Syria Assad might be getting away with a war crime for the time being.
