Is Iran Behind the Syria Gas Atrocity?
American Thinker Magazine ^ | August 27, 2013 | James Lewis

Posted on 08/27/2013 12:09:03 PM PDT by drewh

Obama has retreated time and time again, in the face of clear and present danger from mullahs who preach martyrdom with nukes and long-range missiles. They threaten not just Israel, but the Arab oil regimes that have been Iran's deadly enemy for a thousand years. When Obama pushed over Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt, the pillar of peace in the Middle East, the mullahs saw their chance to forge a Shi'ite Crescent between Iran, Syria, and Lebanon, all controlled by Tehran. The purpose is to surround Israel with thousands of modern missiles armed with chemical and possibly nuclear weapons. It is also to knock down the Turks (who are Sunnis), the Egyptians (ditto), and most of all, the House of Saud, sitting on the biggest pool of usable oil in the world. In Arabia, very small tribes control enormous oil wealth. Arabia is the biggest strategic objective for Iran. Iran's war theocracy plus oil means world power. Obama has failed miserably in the last five years to knock down the Iranians before they had nukes. The United States could have done it, the way we did it with Saddam, with minimal risk, by imposing a no-fly zone over Iran with our overwhelming naval and air power. Obama failed to act, and allowed that window of opportunity to slam shut. Today the mullahs are within reach of their aim of owning their own nuclear bombs. They fully understand Obama's soft spots.

If the bodies of victims were contaminated with nerve agents, why weren’t rescue workers sans CBR gear also victims. Why weren’t doctors and nurses working without protective gear also victims? Why haven’t we seen any photos or video of bodies where they fell?

Have you seen any photos/video from when the story broke showing rescue workers in protective gear? I sure haven't. If someone has seen such images/video, please make it known.

If you are suggesting keywords, "DEADLY TOXIC NERVE GAS" I tried them and nothing new resulted. I'm still waiting for someone to produce photos/video showing casualties where they fell and rescue workers wearing protective gear.

That’s likely. Iran bragged about supplying the enemy in Afghanistan.

Bingo! I saw the video of the poor dead children on CNN on the 22nd and one of them blinked. This entire farce is Paliwood redux.

That Nobel Peace prize winner wants WAR! and by God, he shall have it.

A few well placed nukes would certainly improve the outlook in the middle east

The Administration is unconcerned about the genocide of Coptic Christians in Egypt, because it is their buddy the Muslim Brotherhood committing the atrocities. People are shut in their churches, and then the church is torched! If they had been gassed...well, that would have been the line in the sand, right?

Where are the celebrities railing against the slaughter? Clooney is nowhere to be found. What’s the reason? It is Christians being slaughtered. They aren’t even upset about the centuries old churches that are being burned. Same reason: they’re Christians.

Meanwhile, where are the anti-war drones as Obama goes to yet another war? We’ve had boots on the ground from over a month, yet there is no outrage.

Sarin is a gas/vapor. It disperses.

If that's the case, why is there any need for decontamination?

It also gets absorbed onto surfaces.

I was speaking relative to GD and VX, but ... to back up your point -—>

Sarin has a high volatility (ease with which a liquid can turn into a gas) relative to similar nerve agents, therefore inhalation can be very dangerous and even vapor concentrations may immediately penetrate the skin. A person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people.[14] People who absorb a non-lethal dose but do not receive immediate appropriate medical treatment may suffer permanent neurological damage.
