This has to be one of the dumbest set ups in history.

Does anybody really believe Assad did the one thing that would bring the world into his country to overthrow him when he is just starting to push back the rebels? Or that if he did gas people it would be his own non rebel citizens including women and children so photos could be taken of them for the world to see, or that he would do it in his own city and not take out rebel forces in a city under attack???

Does anybody think the Russians, who are advising Assad, would allow this??

Just how stupid are we supposed to be so Obama can overthrow another Middle East strong man in favor of islam controlling Syria.

He thinks he is on a roll. And there are nutjobs like McCain who agree.

This is how the Koranimals treat their own.

To be fair Christians did this to each other not very long ago.

It's convenient the UN team is only 15 minutes away from the incident but is prevented from doing the investigation due to the ongoing fighting.

It's much like the watchdog group that left Syria last year. They were sent to monitor violence, but it became too violent for them to stay in a warzone. Violence in an area of combat? Whodathunkit?

The results of testing (if ever truly known) would be interesting. Unless it's professionally manufactured, the shelf life of Sarin is not very long. We know it can be manufactured and implemented, however crudely, by small groups of determined people. The subway attack in Tokyo during the 90s was pulled off by a local death cult. Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out MB and AQ elements inside Syria were stocking up.

Everybody: Please look at the photographs. The “dead” have not been embalmed, right? How come their bodies have not changed in the 97 degree heat? No bloating? No sunken eyes? No blue lips? Unless everyone died on their backs, shouldn’t there should be some evidence of livor on faces and feet?

Uh, yeah, they did. War is hellish and brutal. When Muslims kill each other, including civilians, during war it's hellish and brutal. When Christians kill each other, including civilians, during war it's hellish and brutal.

Is their 8th century death cult equivalent to Christian worship of the one true God? No. Is death in a war zone whether it be Europe, Asia or the Middle East equivalent? Yes.

I think it’s also odd that there are rows of “dead” people lined on the floor, but no flies.

True Christians DO NOT kill in the name of Christianity.

True Muslims DO KILL in the name of Islam.

A valid argument but one that leads to some deeper theological questions.

People have killed people since Cain. There is no eqivalence between Christianity and Islam when it comes to violence. It’s like saying Timothy McVeigh represents Christianity. .

I saw more photos at the Daily Mail article, and I must say this all seems extremely implausible for a sarin gas attack by the Assad regime.

It must be investigated thoroughly but I have strong doubts that it is what is being claimed.

In a bunch of the Daily Mail photos the faces did not look remotely like those of corpses — I think many are staged with live people. I haven’t seen a lot of the dead and dying in my life but I’ve seen some, and many of the faces in the DM photos look like healthy people posing — skin tone and color not altered etc. One image had what did look like a child’s corpse but it was next to several who looked more alive for the contrast (no pallor at all in their faces etc.).

Absent some really convincing forensic evidence, the jury is out but I am suspicious of a big propaganda set-up.

LBJ went from being a so called great president with the liberals with his war on poverty, which is still being lost, to one of the worse presidents ever after he deepened the Nam War.

Now, Obozoliar appears to be following in the footsteps of LBJ with his lies about Assad and Syria, while covering for the Muslim Brotherhood Thugs and al Queda in Syria.
