Dr. Assim Rahaibani, a Syrian doctor, has told journalist Robert Fisk, writing for the British publication, The Independent, that last week’s alleged chemical gas attack by the Assad government on civilians in Douma did not happen. The alleged chemical attack was the pretext for a combined bombing raid by the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
“I was with my family in the basement of my home three hundred meters from here on the night but all the doctors know what happened,” Rahaibani told Fisk. “There was a lot of shelling [by government forces] and aircraft were always over Douma at night — but on this night, there was wind and huge dust clouds began to come into the basements and cellars where people lived.”
According to Rahaibani, “People began to arrive here suffering from hypoxia, oxygen loss. Then someone at the door, a ‘White Helmet,’ shouted ‘Gas!,' and a panic began. People started throwing water over each other.”
This was a video that was shown around the world, but Rahaibani explained what really happened. “Yes, the video was filmed here, it is genuine, but what you see are people suffering from hypoxia — not gas poisoning.

I believe it. Leave Assad alone and he’ll kick ISIS’ ass.
SO.... what were the targets of the bombing raid ?
Here’s what your commie/fascist Fisk had to say.

“There’s no getting round it. Call it Nazi, Fascist, racist, vicious, illiberal, immoral, cruel. More dangerously, what Trump has done is a wicked precedent.”

IMHO .... North Korea!
” but what you see are people suffering from hypoxia — not gas poisoning.”
Chlorine takes the breath away.
If it was just hypoxia, why the foam on the mouths ?
Are you saying that Trump and the military were killing two birds with one stone ?
STUNNING one bird with many stones.
Thanks for the article. Seems everyone is lying about this, on both sides.
I just wanted you to know I posted those questions to the whole audience, and wasn’t expecting you to personally answer them.
There’s no getting round it. Call it Nazi, Fascist, racist, vicious, illiberal, immoral, cruel. More dangerously, what Trump has done is a wicked precedent. If you can stop them coming, you can chuck them out. If you can demand “extreme vetting” of Muslims from seven countries, you can also demand a “values test” for those Muslims who have already made it to the USA. Those on visas. Those with residency only. Those – if they are American citizens – with dual citizenship. Or full US citizens of Muslim origin. Or just Americans who are Muslims. Or Hispanics. Or Jews? Refugees one day. Citizens the next. Then refugees again.
No, of course, Trump would never visit such obscene tests on Jewish immigrants – for they would be obscene, would they not? — and nor will he stop Christians from Muslim countries.
What is this...The 19th thread on this story?
Your proof of chemical weapons use is truly stunning.

Reference to Robert Fisk in the article above this thread. See what he had to say about President Trump in one of his articles.

Somehow when Clinton dropped bombs from 15,000 feet for 75 consecutive days onto mostly civilians, it was seen as a positive by our press. IIRC this was a wag the dog that got Monica off the front pages.
anti-trump/syria threads are all he posts anymore — and he posts them CONSTANTLY. he’s not adding value to the board, he’s trying to keep the brawl going.
he’s a total sh*t disturber.
I’m hip.
