Assad regime to allow U.N. inspectors to inspect chemical weapons assault site

Today the Assad regime gave the go-ahead for U.N. inspectors to inspect the site of last week's horrific chemical weapons assault.  While it is logical and almost certain that the assault emanated from Assad forces, some say at Assad's direct order, the regime claims that insurgents arranged the attack to discredit Assad.  How further discrediting Assad can be done is unclear.

On the bare surface this sounds cooperative and open.  There is no question that chemical weapons were used in the area and that women, many children, and some rebel activists were killed, numbers range from 400 to 1300 dead plus many more sickened.  The purpose of the U.N. inspection is apparently to determine the source of the chemicals and perhaps the delivery mechanism and trajectory of the assault.

There is one huge problem.  On the second day after the assault Assad forces began bombing and shelling the affected area and that has continued unabated for the last five days.  It is highly likely that any useful evidence has been destroyed, and if any evidence is found it will have been planted by the Assad military minders.  The propaganda will then continue, either pointing out no evidence or blaming the opposition.

That the U.N. will even agree to such an inspection under such tainted circumstances is a huge mistake, really  just a scam to placate the Russians and their role on the U.N. Security Council.  The results of the inspection will either be useless or be used for Assad's unholy purposes and Putin's KGB attitude toward international "cooperation".
