This has the feel of propoganda. I'm skeptical that Assad did this. The parties that would gain would not be Assad, Iran, or Russia. I don't think any of them are insane batman villains. Despicable but not careless.

While I doubt it myself, there have been quite a few voices, mostly on the right, such as Alex Jones and Infowars, claiming that the gas attack was a "false flag" operation designed to bring the US into the Syrian civil war. Of course, Jones himself should not receive any attention. According to him, Sandy Hook was a false flag operation, and no children died. I can't imagine how much that must anger the parents of the Sandy Hook children. But he's not the only one going there with the gas attack in Syria....
