Debka has been wrong way more than it’s been right, NO reputable news source IN Israel cites Debka as a source.

The latest trickles of info on casualties are coming from the French based Doctors Without Borders group.

They treated 355 people who died and have over 3500 injured under care.

I’m not going to fight you over the veracity of Debka but why do they put out this wild information?

Is this a disinformation site being used in the in the defense of Israel against its enemies?

Drawing the US into Syria keeps Obama tied down so he won’t be able to show the Palestinian state down Israel’s throat....

On the other hand, Europe and the US cannot wait to go to bat for radical Islam. I’d like to know why.

No one doubts chem was used, Whar we DOUBT is that assad used them, and doctors with or without borders would not know who used them either.

“We need to stay out of there.”

THAT should go without saying.

Artillery shells?

Rockets?

Pumped out of a truck using flexible hoses?

Perhaps pumped out of cameras using flexible wires connected to terrorists.

If we can figure out which side used chemical weapons, we’ll at least know which side to be AGAINST.

Then we can send HELP in the form of massive shipments of gas masks to the innocent side to protect themselves while they take out the guilty chemical-weapons users.

In the meantime, firing cruise missiles into the horrible chaotic mess now known as Syria is not what the U.S. should be doing.

“The ball is in Obama’s court and he will have the chance to play it any way he chooses or maybe not even play it at all.”

I guess the good thing is that he is hesitating to do anything so far.
Did I just say something positive about Obama? I must be ill!

That is a problem too because it has already been proven that the ‘rebels’ have used chem and as now, tried to blame the regime, but they didn’t hide the evidence so well and were busted. There is no good side here except for the Christians caught in the crossfire and being murdered by the rebels. For that reason alone, I would blow them to kingdom come, At least they were not persecuted, executed, and crucified by assad,

Well, not to worry...NSC director Susan Rice is on the case and asking for help from the Twitter universe. Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, Rice has issued a twitter BOLO alert for any leads---and the public is dutifully responding.

What is Assad hiding? National Security Advisor Susan Rice asks, Twitter answers

Been trying to get to the bottom of the live thread all day. Can’t. Even clicking on your links doesn’t help. I posted links to the live thread this morning and couldn’t scroll down those threads either.

Obama will go out and read whatever is on the teleprompter when his handlers decide it is time and what he will say.
