Syria minister: US strike on Syria 'would benefit al-Qaeda'

Speaking to the BBC's Jeremy Bowen, Syrian Deputy
Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said terrorism would
flourish everywhere if the US attacked Syria

Any US military action against Syria would amount to "support
for al-Qaeda and its affiliates," Damascus has said.

Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad also told the BBC
that armed groups backed by America - not Syrian troops - had
used chemical weapons.

AP Sources: Intelligence on Weapons No 'Slam Dunk'
WASHINGTON August 29, 2013 (AP)
By KIMBERLY DOZIER and MATT APUZZO Associated Press

The intelligence linking Syrian President Bashar Assad or his inner
circle to an alleged chemical weapons attack is no "slam dunk,"
with questions remaining about who actually controls some of
Syria's chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether
Assad himself ordered the strike, U.S. intelligence officials say.

J. D. Farag says:

"I've just about had it with the 'experts' on both Fox and CNN
who are stating emphatically that it was Assad. Here's the
problem: 'What would be his motivation?' Do you realize,
to quote one expert 'Assad was kickin' their (the rebel forces
of al-Qaeda) tails!'

So, who has the motivation to use chemical weapons? The
rebel forces. Because they know that, when they do, all the
world fingers will pointed at Assad whom 'they' want to remove!!!"
