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."

Lincoln leveled a city (Atlanta) just because its inhabitants were against him.
As were you? Wisdom comes when it dawns on you that no matter how honest federal employees are, the government lies to the people.
Look at flight 93 crash site pictures, and show me any part at all of an airplane or an engine part.
Same for pentagon, no proof what so ever that an airplane struck the Pentagon other than they said so. Where are the airplane engines that surely parts of would have survived?
Maybe you remember how Janet Reno had to kill all the children at Mt. Carmel in order to save them.
Maybe you know what happened to Libya's gold after Hillary's intervention there?
Which is why Pearl Harbor had to happen.
In Syria, “we struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out.”

Good God, you are a 911 disbeliever? Don’t waste my time.
If you are privy to any more evidence than the Professor them I suspect you are breaking several laws by commenting at all on this topic.
Now you are deploying a total lack of knowledge. Assad had a lot less to gain than a certain Pipeline builder.
Comey and Mueller?
You don't have any time to waste you say? Then why are you here claiming that you have access to classified information that other people don't?
I don’t confirm or deny. I try to explain process. Its dumb asses like you who sit here and demand proof that if provided would be a breach, but then you still wouldn’t believe it because its not what you want to believe. Now go away.
No one knows what happened on 911 in its entirety but a lot more went on than we have been told. The absolute proof that the Government lies makes your position pretty dumb to take.
Examine the photos your self and just prove I am wrong by showing all the parts they recovered. While your at it look up the The sinking of the Lusitania.
When did this morph from alleged chlorine gas cylinders being dropped from helicopters to an alleged "nerve agent attack"?
Excellent. Nothing more needs to be said.
No they can't. Chlorine gas is not explosive unless it is mixed with something like ammonia.
Chlorine is a poisonous, heavier than air, gas, and it will kill you, but it will not blow you up.
Really worried that Trump is being misled by the Deep State.
Love it!
Yes, the usual neocon suspects are beating the war drums at a fever pitch.
“Of course there isn’t. What would Assad hope to gain by doing so? Why would he do that when that invites other players against him to help the jihad against him?”

“Aftermath[edit]
The day after the alleged chemical attack, all rebels controlling Douma agreed to a deal with the government to surrender the area.[36]
I have a friend who actually watched from an upper floor in an office building in Arlington (9th or 10th - none of the buildings in that city are very tall). He was in a meeting in a conference room with nothing but windows along one wall and the plane flew by very close to the building and pretty much at eye level. He, and the other seven or eight people in the room, stopped what they were doing and watched as it collided with the pentagon several blocks away. I talked to him about it that same day. He is not a liar.
