I'm not saying the whole Syria CW attack was staged, but this site seems to raise some serious questions, with proof.
Earlier threads, I asked a simple questions: "Who gains?" (If we stay and/or bomb whoever). I definitely do not trust the White Helmets. And though I like Israel lots, they are not above giving us a shove in a direction that helps them immensely before the evidence is all in. Let's wait!
This sounds like BS. What caused the hole in the roof if it was not dropped?
Why would Assad gas civilians in Douma when he had *already literally won the civil war*?
It makes no sense.
And while people may not like Assad, he’s not a stupid man. He’s smart enough to have hung onto power despite the Israelis wanting him out very, very, very badly.
I’m no fool. Look VERY CLOSELY at the gas cylinder in the first video. It says right on it’s side “With Love, from Basher Assad”.
That’s it. That PROVES it must have been Assad who dropped the cylinder. Time for World War 3 !!!!
(my imitation of the Neocons here)
Nerve agents are not gaseous, but the photos depict a compressed gas cylinder. It’s possible that it dispenses a droplet fog, but the man is not wearing a rubber suit; just street clothes and an old Soviet “aardvark mask”.
Muslims killing Muslims has been going on now for over 1,300 years, and as long as even two Muslims are left alive, they will be trying to kill each other.
This is not something the U.S. should ever have gotten involved in.
Also appears from the video that the cylinder made a REALLY SHARP TURN to land on the bed, after getting through the roof. I doubt even Russian weapons can pull that off, and certainly not ours.
BBC keeps showing a video of a guy hosing down a few people ,mostly children ,it looks totally Fake
Likely it was just what it appears, a gas attack by the Syrian government. However, recall that Arabs will move corpses to invent atrocities to horrify the West, like the Intifada.
Proceed with discretion. Don’t start World War over this, to satisfy Juan McLame and Lizzie Graham.
Which “horrible photos”? I saw a house with every person sporting what looked like Vaseline under their noses...Which was supposed to be a fatal sign on nerve gas. But what if it was just Vaseline? There are billions at stake if Trump pulls out. And we have seen proven fake nerve gas death videos from Syria before. I could have a convincing fx video like this produced for under $100k. Interests with fortunes at stake might be willing to pay much more
Never seen that website before. What is their track record for being truthful?
/s
Troops in WWI improvised chemical mortars by firing gas cylinders from buried tubes. The valves on the cylinders we fitted with caps intended to break off on impact or as the cylinder tumbled across the ground.
You cannot tell if the valve is open or closed in the posted image. There is a stub of sorts affixed to the valve.
Isn’t Southern Front a Syrian rebel org??
Chlorine is the oldest and simplest of the war gasses. One of the first times it was proposed to be used militarily was in our civil war by a patriotic Union scientist. The idea was to fire canisters of it at hard to take Confederate forts, like Fort Sumter. It wasn’t done, but the technology even existed back in 1861-1865.
The Germans were the first to use it in war, in WWI, and it was the the first war gas used. They fired their projectiles from conventional artillery and specially made tubes. The “rebels” have the technology to make the stuff and artillery for a delivery system. Thus, there’s little or no way to learn who actually fired the chlorine in question.
Would the MB, ISIS, or the Democrats kill their own people in a spectacular way to win propaganda points? Would Tawana Brawley smear herself in dog feces to make a propaganda point? Do bears poop in the woods?
This website appears to be slanted heavily toward Russian interests, although they don’t give much information who is actually behind it. I would hardly say it’s reliable.
Why the cylinder? Oooh, Slavic speech pattern. My (Polish) wife makes the same mistakes. Who are you?
I have said it before and I will say it again. I think this thing was staged to get the U.S. to attack Assad and stay the course in Syria. It just never made sense for Assad to use Chemical Weapons when he had Douma surrounded and was negotiating an evacuation by the Rebels. Victory for the Assad and Russians was assured (Which by this date has happened). It made no strategic Military sense for them to take the risk of resorting to Chemical weapons when there was absolutely no need to do so. I for one would like to see the results coming from the Humanitarian Inspectors now examining the site before we go off half cocked.
