CONCLUSIVELY

Assad is allowing the UN investigators to inspect the sites involved in Wednesday's horrific attack.

The current claim is that Syria will be attacked if it is found that Assad used chemical weapons.

But a word is missing, and that word is "conclusively".

What if the UN inspectors find that, yes, chemical weapons were used (though that is beyond doubt), but they are unsure of who used them, i.e. that both sides may have used them, so that in effect Assad could have used chemical weapons.

What then?

I think that the credibility of some powerful and influential people and organisations has been put on the line over this week's diabolical events, so much so that they cannot afford to be seen to be wrong. The fix is in. Cameron, Hague and Debkafile could lose all credibility if it is found that Bandar's Bastard Bandits, and only Bandar's Bastard Bandits, used chemical weapons on Wednesday. The Israeli leadership stands to lose also. I therefore think that no matter what the investigators conclude, Syria will be attacked and it will escalate quickly. Putin must have given Assad some reassurances about responses to Syria being attacked.
