Syrian Regime Accuses Rebels of Chemical Attack


The two-year old Syrian conflict took a noticeable turn this afternoon as both government and rebel forces accused each other of launching a deadly chemical attack in the Khan al-Assad village in Northern Aleppo. 

Originated by State Syrian media, the accusation is that rebel forces launched chemical weaponry into the village and the result was 25 dead as well as nearly one hundred wounded, which the Syrian opposition wholeheartedly disagreed with and returned the accusation back towards the Assad regime, which actually has a known chemical weapon stockpile.

International response was mixed: Russia echoed the Assad regime's accusation, the United States highly doubts it, segments of NATO are now formulating military strategies if it turns out Assad used chemical devices on his own citizenry, and the United Nations is hopelessly standing on the sidelines, as clueless as ever.

So... We do know people are dead in the Khan al-Assad village, but we cannot believe a word of the regime in their accusation against the rebel forces, but on the flip side we do not know if the rebels are accurate in their claims either, or just accusing the regime for the sake of it, and the result is a world of interested parties concerned a mass-murderer may be at the point of launching political genocide.

Perhaps, we should just send a NATO force of American, British and French fighters and bombers, hit Assad's every anti-aircraft and airbase field left under his control, stage about 50,000 soldiers in nearby Turkey and demand his complete and absolute surrender of what remains of his loyalist forces, or.... the painful destruction of Alawites in Syria for all time to come.

What say you?
