WMD was the pretext of American-British invasion of Iraq in contempt of the UN and international law. However, UN inspectors never found WMD or any evidence that Iraq did manufacture nuclear or chemical weapons. The only chemical or biological weapons in Iraq possession were provided by Donald Rumsfeld who help the Iraqis to obtain them according to the Daily Mail newspaper. American administration argument to apply military force in Syria was a red line crossed by using chemical weapons against civilians. These threats predominated the western media despite the facts that Syria stocks of chemical weapons destroyed under the supervision of the UN and the international community. Syrian opposition deployed chemical weapons against civilians population and Syrian military on several occasion in Ghouta and the city of Aleppo countryside. The White Helmets a terrorist organization affiliated with Al-Qaeda staged several chemical weapons attacks in Syria in order to provoke western military intervention.
Western media claim two famous occasions were the Syrian army used chemical weapons against civilians. The First one is in AL-Ghouta, while the second one is in the village of Khan Al Asal near Aleppo, pro-government neighborhood.
The White House claimed that 1.429 killed in AL-Ghouta attack including 426 children. Human rights and western media including the New York Times provided their own independent analyses that the rockets containing the Sarin gas were fired from a military compound 9 Kilometers away from AL-Ghouta. However, the official White house story fell apart within weeks. First, the death estimate of 1.429 is higher 3 times than even the rebels sources and international organizations between 300-500 victims. In fact, the Syrian National Coalition agreed with the U.S estimates but could come up with only 395 names. Second, the data collected wasn’t real-time data. U.S government have no team on the ground to collect samples or interview survivors. Third, the range from was the rockets fired was the subject of controversy. UN and human right organization estimates were 9 kilometers which included two military compounds within the regime-controlled area. Richard Lloyd, former UN weapons inspector, and Theodore A. Postol, professor of science, technology, and national security policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, concluded that the rockets would have a maximum range of 2 kilometers. In addition, Ake Sellstrom, Chief UN chemical-weapons inspector, concurred that the rockets fired within range of 1 Kilometer.
On March 19, 2013, FSA, a rebel group fighting the government forces used Sarin gas against pro-government neighborhood nearby the city of Khan Al-Asal in Aleppo, 20 people died while 124 injured. Rebels were shelling the area prior to the chemical attack. Around 7:00 AM, on 300-meter distance from a government checkpoint, munition hit the area causing strong sulfur-like smell and yellowish-green mist in the air. Rebels would gain from the use of chemical weapons. The eyewitnesses can’t agree on the method of delivery, rocket or Helicopter. Carla del Ponte, high UN official and a member of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told the Swiss T.V interviewer referring to Khan Al-Asal: “This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities.” The Syrian opposition owned chemical weapon and the capabilities to deploy them. It was reported that in late May 2013, Turkish authority arrested members from Al-Nusra front with 2 kilograms of Sarin gas and plans to attack the US Air Force base located in Adana. The source of the Sarin gas according to some opinions was Libya stockpile of short-range surface-surface missiles and chemical weapons. At another incident in May 2013, Iraq authorities arrested members of ISI, also known as al-Qaeda in Iraq for the possession of lab equipment to manufacture Sarin and Mustard gas.
The Syrian opposition was in possession of WMD, and capabilities to produce them. The Obama administration briefed about Al-Nusra from work on Sarin gas and other WMD. ISI transfer the technology and material to manufacture WMD to ISIS. F. Michael Maloof, a former security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense, quoted from a classified document that ISI produced Sarin gas that made its way to Turkey, while Turkish security forces seized some of it, a considerable amount made its way to Syria. The Syrian army isn’t naive to launch a major chemical attack while U.N inspectors in Syria, and against whom? Government-controlled area and troops. It’s not coincident that chemical weapons attacks happened while the Syria army advancing in an opposition-controlled territory.
