EU Fingers Assad for Chemical Attack
And somebody American should do something about it
VILNIUS, Lithuania — The European Union agreed on Saturday that the Aug. 21 chemical attack outside Damascus appears to have been the work of Syria's regime, but that any potential military attack against it should wait for a U.N. inspectors' report.
After meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the EU ministers ended days of division on the issue with a statement saying the available intelligence "seems to indicate strong evidence that the Syrian regime is responsible for these attacks."

And if the EU wants to do something about it, I won't stand in their way.
Gotta love how they're so eager to take away our guns while being equally demanding that we use our guns to do their dirty work
I'm not sure Assad considers being fingered a punishment...
I'll be here all week!
