Would you like to tell me what Camorons main argument is then?
The evidence is:
1) Sarin was used, several times but this last one was significantly bigger
2) Satellite and trajectory analysis showing the origin of the rocket in a government controlled area as well as the target being rebel controlled.
3) Radio intercepts apparently indicating someone in Assads chain of command.
4) Figures of deaths that show remarkable inconsistency between nations.
I would like to know against those points;
1) Since the UN have yet to report, where did that evidence came from exactly? I would argue that due to the length of the investigation, it can not be as thorough and therefore reliable as the UN report. Especially since the Russian evidence submitted many months ago indicating homemade Sarin being smuggled in to the rebels is every bit as convincing. It is certainly more thorough.
2) Is there reasonable doubt that 'rebels' or their 'associates' may perform special operations inside government controlled territory?
3) Unverifiable, without weeks of voice analysis, and the original voice.
4) Again sources, such is the inconsistency.
Also if Assad has plenty of these weapons is there not a chance that some may have been stolen or captured by the rebels?
