"It's no evidence, but draw your own conclusions."

Drawing conclusions on the basis of what? Claims...? The claims need to be proven, then - when they are proven to be correct claims, and thus are shown to be not mere claims but facts - then you can draw conclusions.

I have repeatedly argued in this thread that it makes absolutely no sense that Assad wanted this strike at this time, and should have ordered it. I concluded by that that it may be a staged act by the rebels, because they have a very great interest in as high collateral casualties as possible, for propaganda reasons. Later I added the possibility that a failure in the chain of command took place, that the attack was kind of "accidental" (which is no excuse, to make that clear).

But the US claims they know from where the rockets were started, where they went, and what they did. And leaves it to those claims. That sounds like 2003, what they claimed about the WMDs: "We know they have them and we know where they are."

Sorry, that is no basis for making conclusions, but speculations. That is no evidence. This way it's no way.
