High in even the mainstream media is the news of chemical attacks in Syria and the resulting dangers of an escalation in war in the area. But who is responsible and why?
The finger is being pointed to Assad by the West even though there is a distinct lack of proof at this time. In fact there is much evidence that the 'rebels', could actually be the perpetrators. Finds of chemical munitions (supplied by Saudi Arabia) have been made in areas recently taken from rebel forces.
So is there a conspiracy to instigate direct action by the U.S in Syria as per PNAC aims?
Preparations appear underway with U.S Naval forces building up in the Med and Obama is under pressure to intervene even though responsibility for the attack is not clear.
Also interesting is the statement that 'If it is proved that the Syrian Gov are responsible, a red line will have been crossed'. However there is no reciprocal warning if it is found that the attack is by 'rebel forces'.

http://rt.com/op-edge/syria-gas-attack-chemical-propaganda-796/DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian state media accused rebels of using chemical arms on Saturday against government troops trying to storm a contested neighborhood of Damascus, claiming a major army offensive in recent days had forced the opposition fighters to resort to such weapons "as their last card."
State TV broadcast images of plastic jugs, gas masks, vials of an unspecified medication, explosives and other items that it said were seized from rebel hideouts. It did not, however, show any video of soldiers reportedly affected by toxic gas in the fighting in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus.
