This is insane. It can lead to a wider war. Russia will not sit on its hands.

Yahoo news said in Apr there would be a false flag chemical attack in Syria this summer. Opposition media have reported this twice before, must have got their signals crossed.

It is clearly a set up.
If it's a set up, what does the US goverment gain on playing along? Iraq was fairly easy to see the goal and the mistakes done by the Bush admin, but I'm curious what the Obama admin is estimated to gain by becoming involved from a realpolitical angle.
