A leading weapons academic has claimed that the Khan Sheikhoun nerve agent attack in Syria was staged, raising questions about who was responsible.
Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), issued a series of three reports in response to the White House's finding that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.
He concluded that the US government's report does not provide any "concrete" evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said: "I have reviewed the [White House's] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.
"In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.
"This conclusion is based on an assumption made by the White House when it cited the source of the sarin release and the photographs of that source. My own assessment is that the source was very likely tampered with or staged, so no serious conclusion could be made from the photographs cited by the White House."

“When did this morph from alleged chlorine gas cylinders being dropped from helicopters to an alleged “nerve agent attack”?”
You’ve been duped by the MSM.
The Khan Sheikhoun attack occurred last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Khan_Shaykhun_chemical_attack
It is not the current Douma CW attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Douma_chemical_attack
Trump is privy to the ISR on both attacks. The public is not.
Okay. So this story is about the previous attack. Thanks. I did not pick that up from the article - I guess I did not read carefully enough.
Sometimes I wonder the same thing about President Trump.
So, you’d blindly follow the Deep State Intel agencies that are feeding the President the information in the PDB. All in an attempt to get us more involved in a fight we have no business being in. One that previous admin got us involved in because he had no idea what he was doing. One that could potentially put boots on the ground and risk American lives so radical islamic terrorists can take over the country. One that is fueled by the likes of mccain and graham, two people that can’t stand the President. One in which the rebels, the so called freedom fighters are actually terrorist organizations that were armed and supported by the last administration. One, where last year, when the same thing happened, the perpetrator of the attack has yet to be determined.
Rather than engage in some kind of analysis to determine who did it and why. Because Assad has absolutely no reason to do it.
And if there isn’t, what is your solution?
Is that they attack where Gen Mattis has stated, they still don’t know who is responsible for it?
Trump is surrounded by propaganda on all sides of the spectrum. Starting wars is a time honored profession. Could be older than the oldest profession. Who knows.
It’s not my decision to make...
But I trust President Trump to do what needs doing...
He’s the best we’ve had in a long, long time...
Probably 300 camera's at the Pentagon filmed it, wonder why all we got to see was a security camera from a gas station across the street? You may have a friend that saw it all but I haven't seen him do interviews on any news story, have you? I don't trust the government stories not on bit. They are even covering up the Vegas shooting. Why?
They lost me for sure years ago with the "Magic Bullet" which by no stretch of the imagination could be true. No matter how many lying experts get on TV and swear it is exactly what happened.
Maybe you believe man caused global warming is true as well.
People like me examine statements by other people and if possible examine to see if the story fits what we observe, in your case, it don't. Further more I didn't get to keep my Doctor or my insurance after they told me I would.
You are clearly some kind of self-absorbed know-it-all who responds condescendingly to anyone who dares questions your preconceived notions.
Therefore, I am going to make it a point to do my best to NEVER post a response to you ever again. I will appreciate it if you will do the same for me.
Thank you. Have a nice evening.
Thanks for the warning. I am truly sorry I tried to engage him in a rational conversation.
If you can’t breathe and can’t see you don’t move like that.
It will blow up if it is stored as a liquid. And those who use lots of it, store it as a liquid in cooled tanks. If those tanks hit higher temperatures they explode.
The disaster protocol requires that the tanks contents be slowly released out of doors and the immediate area as well as any low lying areas be evacuated until the gas has dissipated.

No, it expands and ruptures it’s tanks. That does not mean it “blows up”. Chlorine gas in and of itself is absolutely, positively, not flammable.
Hit the Syrian govt as a message to other governments that don’t keep this stuff under lock and key. Let’s not pretend Syrian govt and the Russians are the good guys in this mess. There are none.
One YouTube there are hundreds of videos of the palestinians who put on an elaborate “production” for the media to try and make the Israeli’s look bad.
The whole thing is called “Pallywood”.
