The Rebels in Syria(not just ISIS) have launched many chemical weapons attacks which get pretty close to zero play in the western media.

All along part of the "reasons" used to blame Assad is that ISIS doesn't have the capabilities to acquire or launch a chemical attack.

I'm wondering if ISIS leadship is being killed off. Assuming ISIS did use chemical weapons, it's a real dumb move to use them in a place where it's obviously them and not Assad who's responsible.

This crap is being financed, organized and encouraged from entities outside of the public’s perception of who is involved.

Such convenience has to be manufactured.

Chlorine gas is pretty readily available and has wide uses, including in disinfecting drinking water.

= = = = = = = = = = =

Anyone that has an 'inkling' of what takes place realizes that if the Iraqis actually had NO WMDs, we would have found them.

(For those of you in RIO LINDA, if we knew that there were NO WMDs, we definitely would have 'planted something to be found', if, for nothing else, to save face and justify the 'attack'.)

Like the old lawyer thing - don't ask your client a question that YOU don't know the answer to.

Yeah those are the rumors. Too bad our press is unwilling to provide the truth anymore. Even worse that our own intelligence community and even the military do not provide the truth either. No wonder people are at odds with each other in this country because no one is sure of anything anymore.

Trump has established the appropriate response for using chemical weapons. Now that ISIS is using them in Iraq (if that is what has taken place), we can now expect a “proportionate” response from POTUS. MOAB?

No. He just hid 20 pages that implicated Saudi Arabia in the murder of 3,000 of your fellow citizens and on the way to Saudi Arabia diverted the troops to the terrifying powerhouse, Iraq.

Bush is a traitor who should be in prison along side bill and obama

I do not think ISIS are smart, just committed. Sometimes a committed foe is as dangerous, if not more so, then a smart well equipped fighting force.

Is this news spread to sow doubt that Assad used chemical weapons in Syria?
