You have groups over there who would do this.

I haven't read a lot of the evidence but what I did read seems to suggest people were convinced it was Assad. But I wonder why he'd do it. He's turned the tide on the ground. The only one's having any success against him are the militants. There was no reason to do it.

My question is why he would do it when he had never crossed that line over the past few years. - David Sep 10, 10:01 4

  - I would imagine the behind the scenes politics of this will make for a fascinating book/movie one day. -- nm - David Sep 10, 10:14 2
    - agreed. What surprises me is the turn around on these books and movies... - Mel Profit Sep 10, 10:16 1
      - I think that the central players used to stay hidden to avoid blowback. In the social media era, their names get released anyway. - David Sep 10, 10:19
