Ron Paul, on Chemical Weapons in Syria: 'I think it's a false flag'
Appearing Wednesday on Fox Business Network's Cavuto program, former congressman Ron Paul pointed a finger of chemical-weapons suspicion at Al Qaeda, posited that "Assad I don't think is an idiot—I don't think he would do this on purpose in order for the whole world to come down on him," and stated flatly that "It's a false flag, I think, really, indeed."
That same day, his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), expressed skepticism to me about the chemical-weapons claim, asking "to whose benefit does this redound?"
