From the first paragraph of the linked article:
“Conflicting reports say a new chemical attack has been carried out in Syria, this time on a village in the northern area of Hama, sources said on Thursday. The attack could not be confirmed independently and later reports said plumes of smoke taken to be a gas were in fact just dust from regime bombardments in the town.”
This may not have actually happened. Given the political and military pressure afoot, I can see no motive for it.
Yup. Name a time we had correct intel from the sandbox and I’ll neame ten where we were wrong. It’s not what benefits Assad, it’s what benefits the Saudis.
