On Aug. 21, 2013, I woke up in the dark around 4:45 a.m., struggling to breathe. My eyes were burning, my head was throbbing, and my throat was blocked. I was suffocating.
I tried to inhale but all I heard was a horrible rasping sound as my throat closed up. An unbearable pain drummed in my head. The world began to blur. I pounded my chest but couldn’t breathe. My heart seemed about to explode.
Suddenly, my windpipe opened. A gust of air pierced my lungs. Needles seemed to stab my eyes. A searing pain clawed at my stomach. I doubled over and shouted to my roommates: “Wake up! It’s a chemical attack!”
More than two years earlier, on March 18, 2011, my hometown, Moadhamiyeh, a Damascus suburb of about 80,000 people, had held its first demonstration against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
Within hours, regime forces attacked, shooting and arresting protesters. I had recently returned home from college in the city of Homs, where I studied translation from Arabic into English.

I think one should note as part of the post that this man was the one who surprised the CNN agitator by thanking Mr. Trump.
This guy was just on Fox and Friends. I guess he is this week’s poster boy.
My bad. PRESIDENT Trump.
As every English teacher will tell you, “Write about what you know.”
fake news
I do not believe him.
Me thinks this guy might have been with Illary as sniper fire was happening.
I wonder, how would he have liked a 2000 pound bomb, just for comparison sake?
The symptoms described are not what sarin does.
Or a light dusting of white phosphorus.
Sounds like CS gas in an open air environment to me.

“The symptoms described are not what sarin does”
My casual reading this past weekend included the effects of Sarin gas. I concur. And have been denounced my a few “experts” who are trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. It just doesn’t fit. And a lack of due diligence by the MSM is leading to further confusion.
Here’s a sufficient primer, with suitable references:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin
The symptoms described are not what sarin does.
People exposed to a low or moderate dose of sarin by breathing contaminated air, eating contaminated food, drinking contaminated water, or touching contaminated surfaces may experience some or all of the following symptoms within seconds to hours of exposure:
Runny nose
Watery eyes
Small, pinpoint pupils
Eye pain
Blurred vision
Drooling and excessive sweating
Cough
Chest tightness
Rapid breathing
Diarrhea
Nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain
Increased urination
Confusion
Drowsiness
Weakness
Headache
Slow or fast heart rate
Low or high blood pressure
Seems to fit.
Probably more made up BS fiction from the NYT. They’ve not yet been proven to be trusted in my book.
Here is the link to the CDC for the previous post:

The big question is:
Is this guy credible?
We should get some background on him before too long.
He probably has a trail on the Internet.
The attack that Kassem Eid described is not the recent one. It happened in 2013.
That makes a difference, I think.
