Rockets in Syrian Attack Carried Large Payload of Gas, Experts Say
NYT ^ | 4 Sep 13 | WILLIAM J. BROAD

A new study of images apparently from the Syrian attack last month concludes that the rockets delivering toxic sarin gas to neighborhoods around Damascus held up to 50 times more nerve agent than previously estimated, a conclusion that could solve the mystery of why there were so many more victims than in previous chemical attacks.

The study, by leading weapons experts, also strongly suggests that the mass of toxic material could have come only from a large stockpile. American, British and French officials have charged that only the Syrian government and not the rebels was in position to make such large quantities of deadly toxins.

Not likely, at least that's not what the nonpartisan intel organizations think. See:

Assad is losing and desperate. That’s why they fired the rockets. The article makes clear the evolution and R&D and storage sites.

That's the first time I've heard it stated that rockets were used. I thought people were sleeping when this happened. Don't lie us into war NY Times.

“More propaganda supplied to the New York Slimes by the Obongo regime.”

As were probably the rockets the Syrian “rebels” were using.

There have been pictures of the fired rocktes in many news reports. This isn’t the first reference.

I’m still looking far the vast pool of Perts. The media and the Obama administration must be paying well, because they have sure lured a lot of them to their cause.

Where are all these exPerts coming from?

Academia nuts?
Legal fruitcakes?
Minority affirmative action eggplants?

Those damn assault rockets. They should be illegal. There is no reason some one needs that much chemical agent in one rocket.

(...better hush up before they come and get mine !)

I do not know who to believe. I do know that JohnFukkinKerry is a pathological liar along with the Kenyan. And the Russians, shite, they’ve got lying down to a science the last hundred years.

Thanks. That second url cites sigint.

When yesterday the US Congress asked to see those
communications IN FULL because it is important to
see if the Syrians were “shocked”, they were REFUSED.

Given that, it is apparent that this is a
DNC-Obama fabrication (again).
