What if it wasn't Assad's lot who released the chemicals?

We've heard from Hague and Obama that there will be 'consequences' if they did.

What if - just if - the rebels used chemicals against their own people hoping to blame Assad? (It would certainly look good, given that there were UN Chemical experts in the area.)

After all, martyrs are martyrs and (as far as the revels are concerned) "It's a just cause".

Do you think Hague and Obama would take out the rebels?

It does appear that Sarin may have been used. But who used it? - Surely it is incumbent on those who retaliate to determine beyond reasonable doubt who used it before they even consider any form of military response?
