Bawelnya Obama hari-hari belakangan ternyata untuk menutupi 
fakta 3 bulan lalu. Artinya, bohong belaka ketika pemenang 
Hadiah Nobel Perdamaian itu sesumbar menghindari keculasan 
ala Bush di Irak. 

Apabolehbuat, melihat sepakterjang Amerika Serikat di seluruh 
dunia, rupanya 'culas' cocok juga menjadi nama depan Amerika, 
Culas States of America.. 

Sekedar catatan, sekitar Maret-April lalu Belanda membebaskan 
4 warganya yang tertangkap basah memiliki & menyimpan gas sarin 
di Maastricht.

Syrian rebels used Sarin nerve gas, 
not Assad's regime: U.N. official

Testimony from victims strongly suggests 
it was the rebels, not the Syrian government, 
that used Sarin nerve gas during a recent 
incident in the revolution-wracked nation, 
a senior U.N. diplomat said Monday. 

Carla del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent 
International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, 
told Swiss TV there were "strong, concrete 
suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof," 
that rebels seeking to oust Syrian strongman 
Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent.

But she said her panel had not yet seen any 
evidence of Syrian government forces using 
chemical weapons, according to the BBC, but 
she added that more investigation was needed. 

Damascus has recently facing growing Western 
accusations that its forces used such weapons, 
which President Obama has described as crossing 
a red line. But Ms. del Ponte's remarks may 
serve to shift the focus of international concern.

Ms. del Ponte, who in 1999 was appointed to 
head the U.N. war crimes tribunals for Yugoslavia 
and Rwanda, has sometimes been a controversial 
figure. She was removed from her Rwanda post by 
the U.N. Security Council in 2003, but she continued 
as the chief prosecutor for the Yugoslav tribunal 
until 2008. 

Ms. del Ponte, a former Swiss prosecutor and 
attorney general, told Swiss TV: "Our investigators 
have been in neighboring countries interviewing 
victims, doctors and field hospitals. According to 
their report of last week, which I have seen, there 
are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet 
incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, 
from the way the victims were treated." 

She gave no further details, the BBC said.

The UN Independent International Commission of 
Inquiry on Syria was established in August 2011 
to examine alleged violations of human rights 
in the Syrian conflict which started in March 
that year.

It is due to issue its next report to the UN 
Human Rights Council in Geneva in June. 

Rebel Free Syrian Army spokesman Louay Almokdad 
denied that rebels had use chemical weapons. 

"In any case, we don't have the mechanism to 
launch these kinds of weapons, which would need 
missiles that can carry chemical warheads, and 
we in the FSA do not possess these kind of 
capabilities," Mr. Almokdad told CNN. 

"More importantly, we do not aspire to have 
(chemical weapons) because we view our battle 
with the regime as a battle for the establishment 
of a free democratic state. … We want to build a 
free democratic state that recognizes and abides 
by all international accords and agreements — and 
chemical and biological warfare is something forbidden 
legally and internationally."
