Many of those he spoke to claimed that they were very close by when the attack was said to have happened. One man that he spoke to asserted that he was within 50 meters of the site at the time and did not see any unusual activity.

“All of them told me that it was staged by the rebels who were occupying the town at that time. They said that it was a fabrication, that it was a hoax, and when I asked them why — they told me that it was because the rebels were desperate and they needed a ploy to help get the Syrian Army off their backs so that they could escape,” Pearson reported.

No, the scene at the hospital was real, but the patients were not exposed to chemical weapons. Someone starting yelling there was a gas attack and created a panic.

No matter. The gas attack will be verified by Foggy Bottom and the Blue Helmet rubber ducky brigade no matter the proof. They are the experts who toss out cool paperwork and pretty pictures.

Those “rebels” must have some western journalists on their phones ready to go. Which “rebels” do you think were involved? Isis, Al Nusra or Al Quaeda? What sort of leadership will Syria have should they come to power?

I hope Trump gets lots of background and then delivers an address to the nation explaining the complicated nature of the Syria conflict. It is not our mess.

Pretty easy to do just run into the hospital yelling gas attack and start spraying water onto the little kids faces. Cause lots of confusion and it looks like a real emergency is happening.

The first thing I think of when almost any issue arises that may negatively affect or impact President Trump is “FALSE FLAG!”

It’s not as if our own multi-billion follar intelligence bureaucracies have shown themselves to be unbiased.

Or that they have a sterling track record of getting things right on foreign Intel.

This “chemical” attack was as believable as the Epic Spike in Hate Crimes after the President was elected.

But did OAN see Senator Roy Moore there? They declared him the winner on election day within an hour after polls closed. Not sure they are a trustworthy news outfit.
