    I don't get why people latch on to stuff like this. Everyone who has seen the full classified evidence is saying the same thing: Assad attacked his own people with Sarin gas dropped from aircraft that took off and landed from the air base the US attacked. Conspiracy theories fall apart at about the 3rd person asked to keep the secret. It's unlikely the hundreds of people who have seen the evidence are just covering it all up for Uncle Sam for "reasons".

    I think the evidence the French site is compelling.. particularly the chemical marker for the type of Sarin gas Assad had used in the past. In fact, the site where the Assad regime claims the chemical were stored were silos that were destroyed months earlier.

    You can swallow the Establishment line that Assad used gas if you like, but include me out..:)

    Did you read the specific evidence from French intelligence? It has to do with soil samples, blood tests, the chemical marker in the particular type of Sarin used by Assad previously .. as well as film and satellite photos.

    There's no question anymore.

    Like I said, Assad's enemies are out to frame him to make him look bad, it's not rocket science.
    Anyway, there was no logical reason for him to use gas because it served no useful purpose, so it's as plain as day that he was set up..:)

    You can't reinvent Assad anymore than you can reinvent Gaddafi.. Nobody familiar with the Middle East would. Assad, like his father before him, is a butcher.

    The French are claiming that the sarin has the same chemical markers as that used in Ghouta, which they blame on Assad.

    Guess they didn't get the memo.

    --------------------

    http://m.dw.com/en/is-assad-to-blame-for-the-chemical-weapons-attack-in-syria/a-38330217

    Obama's Director of National Intelligence at the time, James Clapper, was able to dissuade Obama from ordering a cruise missile strike, according to a newly-published book by Mideast expert Michael Lüders. Presumably, a deciding factor was an analysis of the chemical weapons used in Ghouta, conducted by a British military lab, which found the gas to be of a different composition than the Syrian army possessed.

    The attack took place while UN weapons inspectors were in the country, on Assad's invitation, said Meyer. Assad had asked them to investigate a chemical weapons attack from March 2013 outside Aleppo, which killed Syrian soldiers.

    Logic it out- Assad is sitting pretty in a winning position because he's got Putin backing him up with Russia's military might, so there was no need to gas anybody in a useless pinprick attack.
    As Judge Judy would say- "Be quiet, does it look like you're losing?"
    There are a truckload of anti-Assad countries and factions (UK/USA/Israel/Jordan/Turkey/Saudi Arabia/Al-Nusra/ISIS) so it was probably one of them who did it to frame him.
    I like Trump but I thought he would have had more brains than to swallow the frame-up.

    Russia doesn't give a flip about Assad... Why frame Assad? Nobody has a thing to gain in Syria.

    Assad has promised Putin a cut of the oil and gas when things settle down, that's why Assad's envious enemies (including businessman Trump) are doing their damndest to make Assad look bad in the hope that he'll be overthrown and that they can cut an oil/gas deal with a new pro-western regime.

    Why would anyone bother? Where would France have gotten the evidence other than by the credible and impartial White Helmets... or more commonly known as Al Nusra's public relations arm? Hmmm! Unless it was directly from Turkey?:roflol:

    As far as I know the US and its satellites will not allow any objective observers to visit the site. It's an in your face thing. They are saying to Russia and the world; "we will say and do whatever we damn please, whenever we please and you can't do a damn thing about it. The world knows we're liars and bastards, but as long as we can print dollars we own the EU and UN."

    Oh well, keep it up Margot, and you might see your beloved Saudi Arabia become an eternal and never ending flame someday.

    This is from your beloved Washington Post. I'm sure I can find more though:

    Saudi Arabia: Under the country’s interpretation of sharia law, a married man engaging in sodomy or any non-Muslim who commits sodomy with a Muslim can be stoned to death. All sex outside of marriage is illegal.

    Not in Saudi Arabia.. They don't stone anyone.. Idiots often quote each other and have no knowledge of their subject.

    Darling, our western politicians are oil-junkies because they know oil will run out "sometime this century" according to oil industry experts, so they want to get their hands on every last drop, because they know that when it runs out they'll have nothing to make their warplanes, tanks and warships GO, and will have to fight with sticks and stones, right General?

    "Ugh"..

    Don't be absurd. Syria has no oil.. and the world is awash in oil.. Look at the OPEC price basket before you make a fool of yourself assuming BS.

    I have seen it.. Before the RAF bombed the Omar oilfield they were pumping 30,000 bpd which is Zilch.. and its such poor quality its only fit for asphalt. Syria has ZERO value re: oil production.

    I always have said that you can not judge evidence when it's not presented.
    It's just rather jaw dropping weird you think evidence can judged when you do not know what the evidence is.

    The professor says there is no concrete evidence presented,... Derrrr

    Well.... that's just your silly opinion
