A rush to judgment is a rush to war.


THIS:


The chemical weapons attack took place four months ago, well past the “too late” timeline coming from the White House and 10 Downing Street. We must, therefore, believe one of two explanations of the UN investigation:

1) The Obama and Cameron governments knew that it was “too late” to determine if chemical weapons were used in Khan-al-Assal (March 19) and the two other past incidents but pushed for an investigation for some yet unknown reason, without regard to the possibility of valid findings.

2) It is not too late to investigate Khan-al-Assal and the other two incidents which took place months ago.


If explanation 2) is correct, then why is it “too late” to investigate the Damascus incident just a few days ago?
