The Turkish statement did not elaborate on how the sarin had been identified in the assault on Tuesday, but it said some of the telling symptoms seen in the victims included “lung edema, increase in lung weight and bleeding in lungs.”
I looked into this very early on. Thus my comment. I think the bigger and more important story here isn’t symptomology versus type of whatever, 2000 lb bombs notwithstanding.
The story is here.

This whole thing was precipitated by a CNN b!tch who didn’t qualify her interviewee before air time. The old prosecutor’s adage. Never ask a question of a witness to which you already don’t know the complete answer.
Some CCN wonkette got her ass handed to her on a platter and now all this hoopla....go figure.
I do not believe him.
What do you not believe?
That he suffered a gas attack?
That it was Sarin?
That he is grateful to President Trump?
That he wants safe zones in Syria?
I understand skepticism, but what do you find problematic?

Yes, that is what it appears to be. The Establishment Media expected to turn this into a bashing of President Trump, and got their head handed to them on a platter.
I may be wrong, but wasn’t the 2013 attack a chlorine gas attack? That would fit his symptoms a little better.
BTT
It says here that it was a Sarin attack and that over 1,400 people were killed:

Thousands of survivors that experienced symptoms, so it would make sense that Kassim Eid would be one of those.
This one time, at SERE camp...
According to Seymour Hersh, it was Hillary who appproved sending Libya’s sarin to Syrian rebels.
“Is this guy credible?”
If it spews from the NYT, then no.

I hear you! The NYT spews forth propaganda.
But this guy may be telling the truth.
That the NYT is willing to use him... yes, makes you wonder.
Agree completely. If you get it in you, you’re a corpse. There is no “ mild” military grade sarin exposure.
Sewer gas, maybe. A dose of Sarin means not ready for prime time TV, or anything else except a biohazard body bag.
People do survive sarin exposure. Many more incidents can be found in a search.
Recently reported:
Turkish minister of Health says it has been confirmed from medical tests that Sarin gas was used. (reported in on Swedish news sites from AP).
Of course Turkey is not an impartial bystander, but this will be considered the last word on this matter.
As I have written elsewhere I am very sceptical, but then again the photographs, the videos from the hospital etc may be (bad) propaganda, and in reality, though not filmed, Sarin may have been used.
