I am so on this bogus chemical weapons attack in Syria! POST IS UPDATED AT THE BOTTOM, CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES! Seriously? Can this get anymore obvious. The UN team enter Syria and BINGOa ‘chemical attack’ not far from the team. How convenient.Via WP ."LOGICALLY IT MAKES LITTLE SENSE" : Last paragraphs, first!
Analysts said they did not understand why the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would have the audacity to use chemical weapons on a large scale at a time when U.N. investigators were present in the country.“Logically, it would make little sense for the Syrian government to employ chemical agents at such a time, particularly given the relatively close proximity of the targeted towns,” said Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Center
Syria had no reason to do this whatsoever. It defies all logic. There is zero benefit to Syria, the nation or the government to do this.This chemical attack claim is absurd. Absurd to the nth degree!UPDATE FROM SANA:"An official spokesman at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that the cooperation agreement between Syria and the international committee for investigating the use of weapons of mass destruction in some areas in Syria didn't please the terrorists and the countries supporting them, which is why they came up with new false allegations that the Armed Forces used toxic gas in Damascus Countryside" A Repeating Pattern This has become a pattern since the Syrian destabilization began; A meeting of some sorts set to take place. An allegation of some atrocity committed by the Syrian army or government. Demonization. Applying pressure to other parties to comply with NATO/Israel desires or plans. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Next week the US and Russia are meeting to prep for peace talks
The talks, announced Monday by Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, are expected to take place in the middle of next week.The U.S. State Department said the meeting follows an accord reached at Aug. 9 talks in Washington between the foreign and defense ministers of the two countries.
Tidbits from WP and a video:-The allegations surfaced as a United Nations team of chemical weapons experts is in Syria-The United Nations team, which was admitted to the country this week-The attack that allegedly happened on Wednesday was in the Ghouta, an area just outside the capital(Damascus) where the UN team just so happens to be. -Dozens of videos were immediately posted on line. Such as the one below. Notice the exploitation of small children by ignorant, devious adults?
“It was not immediately possible to confirm whether the people depicted in the videos had in fact been exposed to chemical weapons”
Of course it is not possible. How could it be? Adults coaxing children to act a certain way is about all that can be taken from thisOf course the NATO nations are crowing away. Cock a doodle do!France is pushing the envelope. "France's president demanded the United Nations be granted acces" As is Britain. " Britain will raise claim of chemical weapons attack in Syria at UN Security Council"What a surprise. Not! Thanks freethinker for the news on/from terrorist Wissam TarrifffreethinkerAugust 21, 2013 at 4:55 AMChemical inspectors are in Damascus so we can expect silly games and we are not disappointed-Reports on chemical weapons use in Ghouta untrue says Sana.reports circulated by the TV channels of al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya and Sky News among other channels which are involved in the shedding of the Syrians' blood and supporting terrorism are completely baseless....the aim behind broadcasting such reports and news is to distract the UN chemical weapons investigation commission away from its missionAnd our old friend Wissam Tarrif has this to say in his twitterings (all 4hrs ago but reordered to earliest first)-640+ people killed by chemical weapons attack in East Ghotta according to local committees. #SyriaAl-Moadamia local council: dozens of dead because of chemical weapons attacks on the city #SyriaLocal Councils and medical personnel confirm several chemical weapons attacks on 3 spots in Damascus Suburbs #SyriaU.N chemical weapons experts are in #Damascus but the Four Season is not the right location it is East Ghotta! Go there. #Syria640+ to several in the space of an hour - how about none or maybe a few injured from one of the terrorists' own damp squibs.I'll stick with SANA if you don't mind, Wissam.Wissam Tarriff; connected to more then one human rights NGO. (Just one reason to stay away from these organizations) The man and what he stands for is sickening. Weapons smuggling, between Libya and Syria, minimally. Wissam the terrorist has been covered here on numerous occasions. He is VILE. If you missed previous posts on this individual. I will relink asapSAUDI ARABIA CALLS FOR EMERGENCY UN COUNCIL MEETING ON SYRIA
Leading Syrian opposition figure George Sabra ( Sabra: behind the Muslim Brotherhood Cloak)said in Turkey the attack in which chemical weapons were used had killed 1,300 people. Syria described the reports its army had used chemical weapons as completely untrue.
Saudi Arabia and EgyptSaudi Arabia and Syria UPDATE AGAIN!: The incredible shrinking casualty numbers? Why? Syria's darkest day? Opposition says up to 1300 killed in'chemical weapons ...
But in the last hour: Syrian opposition groups claim at least 100 killed in 'poisonous gas' attack
Syrian anti-government activists accused the regime of carrying out a toxic gas attack that killed at least 100 people
From 1300 down to "at least 100" How can that disparity be explained other then perception management?YES, IT IS ANOTHER UPDATE!UN stops short of demanding probe into alleged Syria chemical attack
The UN Security Council said that it was necessary to clarify an alleged chemical weapons attack in Damascus suburbs on Wednesday but stopped short of demanding a probe by UN investigators currently in Syria.
"There is a strong concern among council members about the allegations and a general sense that there must be clarity on what happened and the situation must be followed closely," Argentina's UN ambassador, Maria Cristina Perceval, told reporters after a closed-door emergency meeting of the council.
Asking for 'clarity' on what happened? Would this tell us that what the opposition claimed happened was not true? More then likely!
