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.

Thanks for the post elhombreliber. Ping to Ernest in case he feels it should be sent to his ping lists.
More propaganda supplied to the New York Slimes by the Obongo regime.

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 !)
Ahhhhhh... I will light a cigar and smoke it (quickly) and relish the fact that they will all die of horrific radiation poisoning or flash burns, covered in tons of rubble. Ahhhhhhh.... how wonderful! :)
So says PHOTOSHOP.
Do you trust the NYT?
The thing that makes very little sense to me is why would Assad use chemical weapons in this way? The rebels have seized a number of Syrian military bases and other important locations. Surely these would have been better situations for the use of these weapons (either while they were being taken or later to get the rebels out).
Instead the weapons are used in populated areas in the suburbs of the capital. In one of the best areas for western media to see the aftermath.
From the standpoint of the Assad regime, none of that makes logical sense to me.
