They said that in 2013 too. I don't know what to believe anymore.
Isn't that the point of every counter claim? I think we can all agree that there are no fully honest parties in the region, Israel included. Every party has an agenda. One thing that's not disputable though. Assad has been killing Syrians in large numbers for years. Adding additional charges to the many known atrocities may be intellectually lazy, but easy to do.
At this point, it's all about swinging the US toward regime change or not. Judging by Libya, that's not a good idea, even if the sarin gas charges are true. We seem incapable of whatever comes next, and the regional players wouldn't allow a calm transfer in any case.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
