Deep,state and Israel are sure working hard to get rid of Assad and demolish any working relationship between Russia and the US
Obviously, ISIS is flying helicopters and dropping chemical-filled bombs in a clever ploy to dirty assad’s name. We all know he’d never do this. Possibly Soros filled the bombs, and McCain flew the choppers.
My guess: False flag to try to derail support for Assad. I despise the man, but he had no reason to do this, while his opposition can expect a big win from killing their own children.
‘Chlorine-filled Barrel Bombs on Hama’
Either the article is an outright lie, or the journalist writing this garbage does not know what he’s talking about.,
Chlorine, unless in bleach liquid form, is never in a barrel. This is a pressurized gas that must be in a thick walled cylinder capable of holding pressures of 28 to 190 PSI.
If in a barrel, the barrel could hold very little as the pressure has got to be around atmospheric just to keep the barrel from popping while on the aircraft.
If in a cylinder, the cylinder would have to land in such a way as to rupture. Maybe this is what happened, but there is so much fake news, I simply do not buy into any of this, especially considering the source.
Haaretz does not have a good reputation.
I am unconvinced that anyone knows who used these weapons. I simply don’t know and I don’t think that the people who are making the usual noises know either. I don’t put it past the rebels to have stockpiled these weapons and for their stockpiles to have been bombed by Conventional Weapons and the gases and chemicals been released in that fashion. I simply don’t know. I know that John McCain doesn’t know. I know the West has an unbroken history of m9aking wrong moves in this part of the world. Every time. Every single time.
Always trying to start a war with Russian aren’t you. Too bad you won’t be the one fighting it.
Chlorine gas is more green than yellow.
It appears that chlorine mixed with nerve agent killed 70 people in an opposition held town that was under attack by the forces of Assad. Each side accuses the other. (Assad says they hit a site that was manufacturing chemical weapons.)
If ISIS, al Qaida or the Free Syrian Army had deployed nerve agent either in Syria or in Iraq, there would be symptoms. Ditto if any opposition force had deployed mustard agents. ISIS and al Qaida are guilty of many atrocities. I wouldn’t be surprised if either used chemical weapons (or nuclear weapons for that matter). But, the place has UN teams that check allegations of the use of chemical weapons. We would know.
Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad have used chemical weapons. I’m not saying it’s our job to get rid of such people. But, let’s not kid ourselves. They are bad people.
I doubt Assad did this. It makes no sense.
As bad as this is, the United States should not get involved. We need to be out of the Middle East. We have enough on our plate. Let Mr. Putin deal with Assad and ISIS.

Chlorine gas is a favorite of the Syrians. They use it frequently
I have long thought that the enemy is the one within. I think the rogues and the elites in the secret state are orchestrating a war of sorts. They want a one world government and a cashless society- its about ultimate control. Trump puts a temporary slowdown on their plans, but the next time dems/progressives get control that train will race down the tracks at a frightening speed!
Assad possibly would do something like this. ISIS (and don't kid yourself) has done much worse.
So I suggest that we stay out of it.
The article even states that there is NO confirmation of this as a gas attack. This could have been nothing more than a dust cloud from a conventional bomb attack according to the article. So headline is sensational.
At this point in time I just don’t see the upside to Assad using g chemicals. More likely its the rebels.
Lets see.... within a very short time after the event, somehow we knew it was Syria? Is it we have to kill Assad to find out if he was guilty? Democrat law passing 101...
UN says it is Assad.
US News says it is Assad.
Terrorist say its Assad.
Russia says it is the terrorist.
I am with Russia on this one.
