Subject: RE: BS: Did CIA lunch the Sarin missile in Syria
Some alternative thinking:
IMO, Iran's involvement can not be ruled out - through their military wing in Syria, Hezbollah. This group is closely linked with Iran, and is working in league with Assad to regain control of the country.
Why would Iran have an interest?
Firstly, Iran (and Hezbollah) are anti USA and anti Israel. Both the USA and Israel could some day soon attack Iran over the nuclear issue. Getting the USA directly involved in Syria may diffuse a direct attack,could lesson arab and international support for USA and could strengthen Russian and China's (behind the scene) military supply commitment to Iran (and Syria). A bonus may be to find a reason to get Israel involved (increasing arab and anti-Israel religious) support to syria (such as Turkey) and Iran. It may be good timing, considering the poor state of affairs in Lybia, Egypt and Yemen and considering Pakistan and the USA are having issues..
Iran has the means and material to supply Hezballah, who owes them alot. This groups has a record (along with Syria) in meddling in Lebanan's affairs in a deceptive manner.
