Syrian activists close to the countrys opposition claimed hundreds of people were killed in a poison gas attack by regime forces outside Damascus Wednesday.
There were several differing reports on a death toll. Activists told Al-Arabiya that 635 people were killed in the attack in Eastern Ghouta, while Reuters reported that 213 died.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the toll at dozens, while the Local Coordination Committees said hundreds were killed.

Certainly not Assad. The Syrian Army is already kicking the Al-CIA-duh terrorists butts despite the massive amounts of arms, money, and fresh fighters supplied by US/NATO and its allies. A chemical weapons attack with UN monitors on the ground is an open invitation for US/NATO to become directly involved militarily to save its Al-CIA-duh mercenary army. Of course this is a false flag attack to gin up support among the braindead sucker moms and Joe Sixpacks for yet another Mideast war.
Obama has already given al Qaeda/”rebels” MANPADS,
weapons, training, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, SAMs,
and probably these WMD for the “false flag”-op planned
at the White Hut by Obama and his Moslem Brotherhood.
If Damascus goes, can Hizbollah’s suburb in souther Beirut go too?
Oh, oh, this could push Obama to draw another red line, make a facial grimace and issue an “...and I mean it”! statement...developing...
WHAT HAPPENED TO HANS BLIX?
“The socialists burned down the Reichshtag...!”
Nothing more to be said.
A Lebanese Christian had this to say about Syria. It should be noted that Lebanon has suffered extremely because of the PLO, Syria, Hamas, Iran and its proxy Hezbollah
“The bastards have been killing each other for hundreds of years. I hope they all kill each other.”
Note: Neither side in Syria is our friend. However, the rebels are more dangerous to us than Assad.
I don’t believe for a second that Assad forces did this..especially while the UN team is there looking into WMD use in Syria. Either AQ forces did it to gain sympathy or some Assad shelling hit a WMD stockpile in rebel hands and caused the release.
Obama has the US on the wrong side in every conflict in ME right now. The only thread that remains constant throughout the fabric of his ME policy are the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamists. He is backing them in every conflict.
Was thinking along the line that it was a random hit of material secreted away. They may have targeted a known ammo stockpile without knowing the type of ammo IN the stockpile
That is my guess as well. Big question..did they come from Saddam’s old weapons or from Benghazi?
Or both. Bengauzi may have been an attempt to do something with Sad-ham’s products. To admit that would mean W was right and the liberals were wrong
They’re all animals anyway, let them lose their souls..
Good point!
Hundreds reported killed in chemical attack near Damascus
"WMD in Syria have emerged from their hiding place."
Article, then # 3 , # 5.
Thanks, hoosiermama. [WMD from Iraq went to Syria; Bush told us.]
But... but... There Were No WMD’s...
That’s all we were told...
Wasn’t Jamie Gorelick the person who said there were no WMD’s?
