Probes from Khan al-Assal show chemicals used in the March 19 attack did not belong to standard Syrian army ammunition, and that the shell carrying the substance was similar to those made by a rebel fighter group, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.
A statement released by the ministry on Wednesday particularly drew attention to the “massive stove-piping of various information aimed at placing the responsibility for the alleged chemical weapons use in Syria on Damascus, even though the results of the UN investigation have not yet been revealed.” ...

Full title is: Russia releases key findings on chemical attack near Aleppo indicating similarity with rebel-made weapons
This was the MARCH attack, not the more recent AUGUST attack.
Just FYI.
So let’s see...we gave WMD to Saddam to war against Iran...Saddam gave WMD to Syria...now we’re going into Syria to get back our WMD.
Gotta be an easier way.
At least we made sure that Sadaam destroyed most of his stuff before we went in
Wonder who in the MSM will cover this acount?
“This was the MARCH attack, not the more recent AUGUST attack.”
That is in the first sentence of the article. Russia is making their case that the new incident is more likely to be the rebels, not the Syrian government.
At least we’re getting paid to do it this time. We used to do it for free, now we prostitute our military to the highest bidder in cases where no national interest exists.
This is what being in debt leads to internationally now. Prostituting out our military.
Affirmative action grants aiming to subsidize the credibility of the one without any is not so free. He will barter us away for this “ice cream” or drug or blow job or what have you. He is a “ giver”
“So let’s see...we gave WMD to Saddam to war against Iran...Saddam gave WMD to Syria...now we’re going into Syria to get back our WMD.”
No, the US did not arm Iraq. The equipment Iraq used was either Russian or French. The US did arm Iran until the Shah was unseated after that the US did not sell weapons to Iran either. The truth is other than a few fighter planes and (I think) M-48 tanks obtained before the Shah was ousted the US did not arm either Iraq or Iran in the their war with each other.
Any WMD they had they made themselves or bought from France, China, North Korea or Russia not the US. The charge that US armed Iraq or Iran while often repeated is a cynical lie put out by the hard left.
Bingo, during the Iraq-Iran war our support was logistical and support. Nothing more. I don’t recall any M1 Abrahms or M-16s or F-15s. It is the lie that keeps lying by the left assholes.
Yeah, in Saudi laundered campaign contributions to DemoRat politicians.
I think I'm going to send articles like this to the city paper editor-in-chief and publisher (especially articles written by foreign press)
Probably won't do anything good, but I'll get it off my chest. <8:/
The Russian position is:
It’s PROVEN that the rebels have used gas, and Assad had no reason to use gas recently BECAUSE HE IS WINNING against the AQ rebels.
Obama position:
I don’ need no stinkin’ facts, America will be Al qaeda’s Air Force!
We did give Saddam a few helicopters, old, surplus UH-1’s. I believe we gave him 8 of them, via the French, who were the PRIMARY arms supplier for Iraq.
REALITY is so very different than Hollywood movies, isn’t it?
Yet, so many Americans “Know” the “Truth!”, because they saw it in a movie.
??? Proof of *that* assertion? The *only* thing that was given to Saddam Hussein's Iraq by the US Government, to assist him in his fight with Iran, was some satellite imagery.
*We* never gave him any chemical, or biological weaponry, and anyone who asserts that we did is talking out their blowhole. We don't even have, to my best knowledge, a chemical, or biological offensive weapons program, as we don't need one, having nuclear capabilities...

The Syrian War: What You’re Not Being Told

The hype around the alleged attack on the eastern Damascus suburb of Ghouta showed “apparent attempts to cast a veil over the incidents of gas poisoning of Syrian army soldiers on August 22, 24 and 25,” the ministry said, adding that all the respective evidence was handed to the UN by Syria.
The condition of the soldiers who, according to Damascus, suffered poisoning after discovering tanks with traces of sarin, has been examined and documented by the UN inspectors, the ministry pointed out, adding that “any objective investigation of the August 21 incident in eastern Ghouta is impossible without the consideration of all these facts.”
Seems like all the gas attacks are related?
Silly person, facts and logic have no place in the decision which may or may not initiate THE WAR THAT REALLY ENDS ALL WARS!
