Syrian rebels responsible for chem. attack - locals

With Obama still pounding the war drums, getting things all lined up and ready to go with Syria, perhaps some of the reasons why other countries are baffled by this guy wanting to fire up a storm are becoming more widely known. This one is certainly interesting.

Basically people went and interviewed the locals on the ground where it all happened. Their local knowledge of the whole situation is in stark contrast to Obama's  warmongering. Not at all like the Obama version.

What they say is this; that the weapons were delivered to holes in the ground there for storage, but as they were chemical weapons nobody knew a lot about how to handle them and some went off. That's it, the whole story. Keystone Cops rebels.
The U.S., Britain, and France as well as the Arab League have accused the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for carrying out the chemical weapons attack, which mainly targeted civilians. U.S. warships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to launch military strikes against Syria in punishment for carrying out a massive chemical weapons attack. The U.S. and others are not interested in examining any contrary evidence, with U.S Secretary of State John Kerry saying Monday that Assad’s guilt was “a judgment … already clear to the world.” 

However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack. ............................ 

“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.” 

“When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,” she warned. She, like other Syrians, do not want to use their full names for fear of retribution. 

A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named ‘J’ agreed. “Jabhat al-Nusra militants do not cooperate with other rebels, except with fighting on the ground. They do not share secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material,” he said. 
“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” ‘J’ said. more
Um, I doubt Australia, the US and UK though will agree. I know we have bloody pathetic politicians and all, but are they so stupid as to engage in another war without the faintest idea WTF they're on about?
