In all three cases, Western-backed NGO's like the White Helmets and the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) have been among the primary sources of "intelligence" used by the U.S. and its allies in their bid to oust the Assad government. And also in all three cases, the Assad government had nothing to gain and everything to lose by using chemical weapons.
Although attempts to overthrow the Assad government have failed since Obama's initial attempts in 2013, the US under Donald Trump, and now Joe Biden maintains a military presence, and a belligerent stance towards Assad.

Debunking Obama's Case for War on Syria
Barack Obama's rationale for war is simple: Assad gassed his own people. But the chemical weapons attack in Damascus on August 21, 2013 was most likely carried out by U.S. supported al-Qaeda rebels, not by Assad.
But just like there was no evidence that Saddam had WMD, there is no evidence that Assad gassed his own people.
Obama is betting everything that people will believe his premise. And most media outlets in the U.S. have continued to widely report Obama's assertions not as unsubstantiated claims, but rather as facts, just as they did with Bush's claims during the lead up to the Iraq war.
Virtually no one denies that a chemical weapons attack took place on August 21 in Syria, but the evidence points to the attackers being al-Qaeda rebels and not the Assad government:
The Obama administration needs to address the hypocrisy of being on the same side as al-Qaeda in Syria while concurrently saying that they are an enemy in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and other Muslim countries. It has been widely reported that rebels in Syria include al-Qaeda fighters:
Gambling on the same strategy that Bush did with Iraq, the Obama administration is counting on media complicity to accept and report his unproven, illogical assertions as evidence-based fact.
History proved Bush's WMD claims to be wrong and the Iraq war to be a mistake. If Obama eventually carries out a war on Syria based on the "he gassed his own people" pretext, history will leave Obama and all of those in the media who acted as his stenographers in the dust.
A number of people have pointed out that even if Assad did gas his own people, what gives the U.S. the right to bomb Syria given
the history of the U.S. using chemical weapons around the world and at home.
