    Ghouta, Syria —

    However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.

    A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named ‘J’ agreed. “Jabhat al-Nusra militants do not cooperate with other rebels, except with fighting on the ground. They do not share secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material,” he said.

    “We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” ‘J’ said.

    More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government.

    Maybe Obomber can give the Saudi government a red line to cross.
     
  3. The world keeps changing. The US of A has nice energy surplus nowadays. They can tell the Saudis to get fracked.
