Savage Radio today said it was Phosgene, not Saran. The only way to tell if it was Saran would be to obtain samples from the actual weapon and flesh samples from the victims. Nobody has done that yet. He also said that if it was Saran, the first responders would be just as dead, as they were totally unprotected.
Made sense. But what do I know.
I used to listen to Savage, back when his ratio of on meds-to-off meds days was higher.
Reports are that victims had pinpoint pupils and suffered convulsions, which doesn’t fit the profile for phosgene.

There is no definitive proof either way. Assad may have done it, but it is possible that a conventional bomb struck a terrorist facility. See posts 24 through 29

An article today had the administration saying that they have signals intel and samples from the victims.
But where would they get the samples from? From the convicted-terrorist “doctor” who took the video (which showed a guy smiling until he saw that the camera had panned over him and then he suddenly looked sad)? One article citing that “doctor” had him saying that they had samples. It seemed strange to me as soon as I saw it, because that doesn’t seem like something a doctor would say even as he is tending victims of a surprise attack.
