Russia: Syrian rebels used sarin in Aleppo
WND ^ | 9/5/2013 | F. Michael Maloof

Posted on 09/06/2013 5:28:33 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A 100-page report on an investigation turned over to the United Nations by Russia concludes that the Syrian rebels – not the Syrian government – used the nerve agent sarin in an attack in the Syrian city of Aleppo last March.

While contents of the report have not been released, sources tell WND that the documentation indicates that deadly sarin poison gas was manufactured in a Sunni-controlled region of Iraq and then transported to Turkey for use by the Syrian opposition, whose ranks have swelled with members of al-Qaida-affiliated groups.

President Obama, at a recent Stockholm, Sweden, news conference, was dismissive of the alleged chemical weapons capability of the Syrian opposition. The United Nations, however, claims it now has the documentation to substantiate the claim but still hasn’t begun investigating its findings.

Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry claim the U.S. has intercepts, or signals intelligence called Sigint, which establish that the Syrians ordered the chemical weapons attack on opposition forces Aug. 21.

But sources say that the intelligence lacks any smoking-gun evidence pointing to a direct order from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Whoops.

Another “inconvenient truth.”

And yes, I believe the credibility of Putin’s government far more than I do Obama’s.

A sad day when I have more belief in a Russian report than in the word of my own president.

They had one of Obamas Al-Qaeda boys - oh excuse me- one of the “rebels” admitting yesterday on video tape that he and his “rebels” were the ones who shot off the sarin. Enough proof for me. What proof have we seen that Assad set it off? Zero. So in essence our first foreign born unconstitutionally elected Islamic communist Kenyan POTUS wants to defend terrorists who kill women and children using WMDs.

Actually the FSA put up a YouTube video. I posted it on my Facebook page. Obama supporters are silent.

Whom to believe, Yawn Kerry, Obozo or the KGB? You have to go with the Russians since they don’t hate America with every fiber of their beings.

Pray for America to Wake Up

This is the one video I meant. I don’t know if he’s part of the FSA, he said he is a member of a group called Riyadh Al Abdeen and they praise/worship Osama Bin-Laden, you know - the guy the Obama regime said is dead despite the fact that to date, we haven’t been shown one scintilla of evidence that he is. What was the quote of the Seal team 6 guy who wrote that book? “The body looked nothing like Osama Bin Laden” but I guess OBL is dead because Obama says so.

Who do you think is better at intelligence gathering a former member of the Choom Gang or a former KGB agent?

I’m going with Putey on this one.

Putin’s a lying scumbag, but Obama is fighting the wrong war.

He should be getting ready to wipe out Iran instead of Syria.

Then he should be supplying arms to the rebels to ensure both sides fight each other to an endless stalemate, while the Russians garrison their naval base in Tartus.

If the Russians bitch, you tell them they should have thought about that before supplying Iraqi insurgents through Iran a few years back.

I’d place a PO for about 10,000 fuel-air bombs and then give Iran the gulf war I 30 day saturation bombing treatment.
