- 4/23/2013, 4:30pm  ET  WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says
the U.S. hasn't yet come to the conclusion that Syrian President
Bashar Assad has used chemical weapons even though close U.S.
allies say he has.  White House spokesman Jay Carney says the
U.S. is concerned about the reports and is looking for
conclusive evidence. He says the U.S. supports a U.N.
investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons.  Israel,
Britain and France have already concluded that Assad's
government used chemical weapons last month in his battle
against insurgent groups, increasing the pressure on the U.S.
and other countries to intervene.  During a trip to Israel last
month, Obama warned that the use of chemical weapons would be a
"game changer" requiring action from the international
community.  Carney wouldn't say Tuesday what that action would
be.
