A compelling theory explains the latest chemical attack in Syria — and it looks like Assad got what he wanted
Daniel Brown
    Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may have carried out a chemical attack in Douma, Syria, over failed negotiations between his regime and the main opposition group in the region, Jaysh al-Islam.
    The tactic may have worked in the short term, as Jaysh al-Islam agreed on Sunday to evacuate the area.
    While it can't be said with certainty that Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons on Saturday forced Jaysh al-Islam to evacuate the area, circumstantial evidence indicates this.


Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly used chemical weapons on his own people since at least 2013, with a number of attacks coming in the last few months.

An attack on Saturday reportedly killed at least 40 civilians and has drawn condemnation from around the world, including President Donald Trump. Immediately after reports and images from Saturday's attack emerged on social media, Russian and Syrian Assad supporters began countering allegations that the government's forces had carried out another chemical attack.

It could be more than just, "Assad is now winning the war, we are about to withdraw, why would he do this?". Nonetheless, a treacherous situation for all. Those are the suburbs of Damascus where this is happening, not some remote area.

I'd like to see Mossad put Assad... out of business.
As in... permanently out...
