A stunning update on Friday afternoon from the Associated Press said the Pentagon is investigating possible Russian participationin the Syrian regime’s chemical weapons attack.
These officials also supported the dire suspicion that nearby hospitals were attacked to cover up evidence of the WMD deployment:
The officials say Russia has failed to control the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons. They say a drone belonging either to Russia or Syria was seen hovering over the site of the chemical weapons attack Tuesday after it happened. The drone returned late in the day as citizens were going to a nearby hospital for treatment. Shortly afterward, officials say the hospital was bombed.
The officials say they believe the hospital attack may have been an effort to cover up evidence of the attack. The officials weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. They say they’re still reviewing evidence.
According to CNN, the Pentagon is particularly interested in whether a Russian warplane actually conducted the bombing run on the Khan Sheikhoun hospital where victims were receiving treatment within hours of the attack, “with the aim of destroying evidence.”
There have been conflicting reports about whether any Russian personnel or aircraft, particularly helicopters, were present at the Sharyat airbase.
However, the Fox News report also quotes U.S. officials who said “between 12 and 100 Russian military personnel” were present at the base, complete with their own barracks, which the U.S. “took pains” to avoid blowing up. If the chemical weapons attack on Idlib province was indeed conducted from the base, it would be very difficult for the Russians to argue they were unaware a war crime was in progress under their noses.

We’ll see...as you know....and I don’t communicate with those who use snarky remarks .... so we’ll leave it at that.
“All crises are created by the same few ( CIA/Mossad) to control a Narrative-—to push the Overton Window and collapse Western Civilization for “rising out of the ashes” NWO.”
Ditto! I pray Trump will outmaneuver the forces of evil.
Its inconceivable to me that the Russians did not at least know a chemical attack was coming.
Historically the opposition to chemical weapons has a lot to do with how ineffective they were at actually killing compared to leaving victims suffering instead.
The ban on CW that came after WW1 was partly driven by the fact there were lots of survivors with horrific injuries in the post-war society. In 1920, 2 years after the war ended, something like 60,000 died as a result of injuries received from CW during wartime. That prompted a specific movement against use of the weapons that were causing such harm long after the war had ended.
But I agree, it does still seem like an odd distinction to make at times.
” ... whether a Russian warplane actually conducted the bombing run ... “
Since the Syrians fly Migs, Russian warplanes, what does this prove? If it wasn’t a Mig it was something else.
Are they concerned it may have been a western aircraft?
Does Juan McLame have an alibi for his whereabouts?
Hey look the Neo-cons having tasted Syrian blood now want some Russian blood! Neo-cons will be the death of this nation.
Mc Lame would have crashed it!
Clarifying? Do you trust Trump or do you not trust Trump?
Mixed messages there.
You got that right! Keep the faith and keep posting.
“Breitbart Bart”. Does not exist
Breitbart (all one word) is a Maria news project created by Andrew Breitbart.
Unless it wasn’t the Syrian government that did it.
They russkies have a different agenda than you do.
They filled an auditorium with lethal gas to get a few terrorists.....school children in the auditorium died too
Don’t nukes do the same thing? Of course, if it was outlawed the leftists and western countries would give up theirs and believe all the other countries did too.
Good question. He wants war no matter what it takes.
And be taken captive by the free Syrian army!
LOL
Furthermore, Assad is in the business of killing al-Qaeda backed Jihadis; bad hombres who would cut your childrens' throats if given half a chance. Why are we trying to stand in his way?
We should be helping him, not bombing his airfields. Once again, America picks the wrong side.
