One of the arguments of the rebels is that they never had access to such weapons, which is absolutely false. In other news in May 30th Al-Qaeda's Jabhat Al-Nusra members were arrested in Turkey possessing Sarin Gas. Which, oh coincidence, is the same gas used in latest attack.

Also logic dictates it's very unlikely that the Syrian government, which is winning the war, will launch Sarin Gas in a Damascus neighbourhood (which is the capital, and thus where Al-Assad and this relatives live), leaving the US and its allies with an excuse to strike. Also Washington didn't want UN inspectors to stay longer to investigate, and it's doing everything possible to strike before UN inspectors can reach any conclusion. Without talking about Kerry proclaming US government has "proofs" but unwilling to show these proofs to anyone... Sorry, this is a "déjà vu".

Besides, witnesses and a AP reporter say it was the rebels who performed the attack. http://www.mintpressnews.com/witnesses-of-gas-attack-say-sau...
