Britain sent poison gas chemicals to Assad: Proof UK delivered Sarin to Syrian regime for years
The London Daily Mail ^ | Mark Nicol

Posted on 09/08/2013 1:37:34 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

British companies sold chemicals to Syria that could have been used to produce the deadly nerve agent that killed 1,400 people, The Mail on Sunday can reveal today.

Between July 2004 and May 2010 the Government issued five export licences to two companies, allowing them to sell Syria sodium fluoride, which is used to make sarin.

The Government last night admitted for the first time that the chemical was delivered to Syria – a clear breach of international protocol on the trade of dangerous substances that has been condemned as ‘grossly irresponsible’.

The sales were made at a time when President Bashar Assad was strongly suspected to be stockpiling the chemical weapons that have caused an international crisis.

The UK firms delivered sodium fluoride to a Syrian cosmetics company for what they claim were legitimate purposes. But intelligence experts believe President Assad’s regime uses such companies to divert chemicals into its weapons programme.

Thomas Docherty MP, a member of the Commons Arms Export Controls Committee, said: ‘These are very disturbing revelations uncovered by The Mail on Sunday regarding the provision of sodium fluoride to Syria. At no time should we have allowed President Assad’s regime to get its hands on this substance.....

The Iranian regime & hezbollah are his friends, not to mention the N. Koreans

Kind of strange that a nerdy Opthamologist, educated in the West and seemingly mild mannered would turn out to be what he is. I think Mustafa Tlas and the Old Guard pushed him to this point. I also think he knows that if he does not kill, he will be killed.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

“educated in the West “

Look at his wife. I think she’s even more despicable for staying at his side. She has the money & means to have gone anywhere in the world to get away from him.

It has more uses than just making sarin.
A colorless crystalline salt, NaF, used in fluoridation of water, in treatment of tooth decay, and as an insecticide and a disinfectant.

“Sending” such chemicals to Syria DOES NOT MEAN the Syrians actually used said chemicals to produce poison gas nor does it mean the actually RELEASED such gas on their people.

I continue to believe that the Syrian gubmint did NOT use the poison and until that has been PROVEN to be contradictory, I will continue “believing”.

Show me the PROOF.

Simple does it, huh?

Assads allegiance was to Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein’s main enemy was Iran.

Now, Assad had a control officer, owned by the outside. That control was a Saddam adviser, I forget his name. It’s here, somewhere. But he sold his services to whoever paid best.

For many years, he was actually run by the CIA,, so that Assad was a US asset. But alas, someone came along and paid better. And Assad changed “owner”.

His heart, though, is still with Saddam. Rock solid bet.

Lol. The “ophtalmologist” is a ruse. He’s no more an ophtalmologist than I’m a dolphin. Even his glasses are fake. Used to be, anyway.

I think the evidence coming out is proving he did it.
The question seems to be: Does it make any difference who did it? Most people don’t seem to care - they just want to stay out of it.

His wife is like any dictator's wife. Staying at his side is crucial for the regime. Even Suha Arafart stayed by Yassir’s side even though he was a murderer and a Pedophile who dies from AIDS. No, the wife must stand by her man no matter how many he kills. If she were to run away, the shame would be too much to bear for him and he would be hounded and tormented. Look at Eva Braun, stayed with her man up to the very end and dropped the poison. That is what Tammy Wynette meant in her song, “Stand by your man”...

I know why she’s doing it. It doesn’t make her any less despicable.

The ME is a complicated place

The truth is, is once you understand the Arab Muslim mentality, and I mean, really understand it, it is quite simple. As a Westerner I never wanted to believe this dictum because it goes completely against my education and values but...it is true:

The Arabs respect and abide by FORCE. If you're strong and show toughness, you are respected and feared.
Right now, Obama and the West are seen as wet tissue paper.

If you are weak, they throw a shoe at your face and sodomize you...I know this sounds too simplistic but look all around you.

This is what they did to Libya's strong man Khaddafy once he was caught. They shot him and sodomized him because he was, at that point an Arab coward trying to save his life and for that he was deeply resented. This is what they did to the late American Ambassador Stevens as well. It is like the final insult.

THIS is the mentality. Once you accept this basic premise, everything falls into place and you can then begin combating it because you know how they think and behave - no surprises for this cowboy...

We thought they were just making toothpaste. We want to do everything we can to fight tooth decay.

The relationships within the ME are a little more complicated then just strength & force, but I agree that it’s a big part of it.

I have lived and worked in that region and I can tell you, first hand, what I wrote is the bottom line. In the Arab world, RESPECT and SAVING FACE are more important than life itself.
They can be gracious, incredible hosts and stab you in the back 36 times.
In the Bible, (Torah actually, not sure what specific section) it says (in Hebrew) “Chabdayoo ve Chashdayoo”, which means, show respect [with those Arabs you have dealings with]but always be suspicious and on your wares. This is a healthy approach to Arabs and Islam in general.

Do you have a citation "Flipper"? It's a small matter but one that would large in the prevailing narrative. Thanks.

I’m afraid not. It came from the founder of gamla.org.il, and used to be tucked away in the bowels of the site. The founder was a colonel or something in one of the intel groups. either mossad or aman. I probably have the whole site archived around here, but it will take some time to dig out since all that really old stuff is packed externally and not any cloud nonsense either.

Gamla.org.il is now inactive, though there are some hebrew-language remnants.

Anyway, ask Mesta. She knows.

The Closed Circle describes this in detail, saying that a family quarrel between father and son (the womenfolk are “invisible”) can take the shape of the old man wringing out his genitals and dryhumping the upstart.

Not my problem.

He wasn’t grinding on them until we fomented unrest and armed the so called rebels.

Well, he went to school in England.

An opthamologist can probably do just as good work as a top denti-specialist in England.
