A leading weapons academic has claimed that the Khan Sheikhoun nerve agent attack in Syria was staged, raising questions about who was responsible.
Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), issued a series of three reports in response to the White House's finding that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.
He concluded that the US government's report does not provide any "concrete" evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said: "I have reviewed the [White House's] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.
"In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.
"This conclusion is based on an assumption made by the White House when it cited the source of the sarin release and the photographs of that source. My own assessment is that the source was very likely tampered with or staged, so no serious conclusion could be made from the photographs cited by the White House."

I’m not saying he did...I’m just saying there are people who know more about what really happened than I...
Why would you trust the EU?
So.. I’m not entitled to my opinion because you disagree with it? Stop acting like a hysterical snowflake.
duh
anyone familiar with the situation immediately expected this to be the case
and the behavior of the usual suspects all but confirmed it on Day 1 - everything since has been the inevitable revelations of falsehoods
McCain and Lindsay are very much deep state, and want war with Syria. Maybe you’re on their staff?
Of course it was staged. This was obvious from start. Tucker Carlson was so right to question this and yet he was the one attacked.

This video is absolutely a fake. Tucker has a well thought out reason for assuming so, Andrea Mitchell, John Dean, and Lindsey Graham are all egging Trump to act. As Tucker says, that should be an alarm bell right there.
But this video and the attack are suspect. First, Chlorine gas is very much available everywhere in large tanks. Those tanks can explode just by cutting off the electricity to the factory or shooting them by mistake. Second, we do not know when or where this video was recorded. Its very possible that this video was recorded long ago and far away, waiting for a moment like this to be used.
Trump turns into George W. Bush if he takes the bait and reacts to this. Trump don’t be a sucker. You are better than Bush. Democrats just want you to send your armies to the middle east away from our boarder. And Lindsey wants his weapons makers to sell more weapons. This is not in Americas interest. We won’t look strong. We will look stupid and easily manipulated. And conservatives will lose everything we were working for. The debt will go up, the Army will buy bombs not pay troops, the boarders will be left undermanned, And democrats will turn on Trump as being a stupid guy who ran on staying out of dumb wars but got us back into one.
TRUMP don’t do it!!!!
Why won’t anyone here watch this video. It shows how they stage it.

Ah yes, that would be the infamous Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" group of USSR groupies...
Did anyone tell President Trump this info?
Guilt by association is a flawed argument. A real situation that attracts McCain and Graham does not mean the situation does not exist.
Answer my question. Why is Russia and Iran embedded in the Assad Regime?

Watch BBC ,the video of the guy with the Hose ,fake fake fake
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says Earth is now closer to human-caused doomsday than it has been in more than 30 years because of global warming
I agree with you entirely. We’ve seen how “unbiased” academics are when it comes to politics and their supposed unbiased research and findings.
Seemed he was saying it wasn’t necessarily delivered by air.
That still doesn’t rule Assad out. Assad is definitely on the ground in Syria.
There are a number of players who could have delivered the agent.
Who said sarin? Macroni said chlorine, which is commensurate with the injuries.
