France: Sarin Gas Used in Syria
CNN ^ | 6/5/13 | Watkins/Vandoorne

(CNN) -- Sarin gas has been used several times in the Syrian civil war, including at least once by the Assad regime, France's foreign minister said Tuesday, citing results from test samples in France's possession.

Laurent Fabius announced that conclusion after meeting with the head of a United Nations mission set up to establish the facts about the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria.

"I gave him the results of tests carried out by our lab appointed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to identify chemical warfare," Fabius said in a statement, referring to the Swedish scientist Professor Ake Sellstrom.

"These results show the presence of sarin in the samples that are in our possession," Fabius said. "In view of these elements, France now has the certainty that the sarin gas was used in Syria several times and in a localized manner."

Then let France do something about it.

Not now.

Not ever.

International banking really wants Syria.

All the bankster’s paramilitary and intelligence horses,
and all the bankster’s news media and think tank men,
are trying to set up a humpty-dumpty,
to rule Syria for them.

The more they use on each other the less they can use on America.

The non existent sarin gas that the MSM said didn't exist in Iraq was probably used in Syria since it originally came from Iraq. Al Quada has sarin gas in their possession, WIKILEAKS confirms it and so did data obtained from OBL confirmed the fact. (Yes, the WH compromised almost all of the benefit of data extracted from OBL’s home with their big mouths).

Do we know enough to respond? Did the Syrian government thugs use Sarin to kill civilians? . . . to kill terrorist rebels? . . . to kill loyalists so they could blame it on the terrorist rebels? Or did the Syrian terrorist rebels use Sarin to kill civilians? . . . to kill government loyalists? . . . to kill civilians so they could blame it on the government forces? We can’t untangle this, and in any case all sides hate us and want to kill us. We need to stay out of the way.

Let’s hope the world gets all worked-up over it.

It will at least prove Bush right about that...

No... France only supplies the rockets. They probably make the Sarin gas in Syria. Probably at an underground bio/chem/nuke mfg. and storage facility close by.

Well that's more than enough reason for us to ally with Al Qaeda and replace Assad's thug leadership with the even more thuggish Muslim Brotherhood. < /s>
