I bet it was the terrorist group who had it inside a building that was bombed.
Huh, that's what Russia said.
Imagine that.
It's a hell of a lot more likely than Assad gassing civilians for the hell of it.

It was and attack, but what I can not get in my mind after looking at Assad is how can he gas his own people, that bothers me and get me thinking that it could be indeed a false flag.
Children in government custody have reportedly been beaten with metal cables, whips and wooden and metal batons, and suffered electric shock, mock executions, cigarette burns, sleep deprivation and solitary confinement, and sexual violence, including rape and threats of rape, the report says.
"Syrian security is now releasing detainees with unhealed wounds caused by torture in order to spread panic and fear among people hoping it will reduce the numbers participating in demonstrations," said Wissam Tarif, Director of Insan, a leading Syrian human rights organisation, which has documented cases of torture.
Hundreds of disappearances
Across Syria a campaign of mass arrests since the uprising began in mid-March has seen more than 7,000 Syrians arbitrarily detained and thrown into prisons, according to a count by activists, contacting detainees' family and friends.
The detained include a wide cross section of society, mainly young men aged between 20 and 50, but including children and elderly, especially activists and those involved in protests or seen filming them, but also community leaders, imams and students.

I PERDICTED NOT LONG AGO on this forum that Trump would resort to a military action somewhere to avert attention from his shaky start.
Now we have it.
Number one, the media doesn’t report that Russia and Syria deny that they did this.
Right now, Trump would love to do a military adventure just to get the heat off himself.

Hillary Clinton just stated that the US needs to take out the Syrian Air Force. I expect a thread on this soon. She is speaking about this at a critical time. Interesting

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05794498 Date: 11/30/2015
The best way to help Israel deal with Iran's growing nuclear capability is to help the people of
Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad.
It is the strategic relationship between Iran and the regime of Bashar Assad in
Syria that makes it possible for Iran to undermine Israel's security
The end of the Assad regime would end this dangerous alliance. Israel's leadership understands well
why defeating Assad is now in its interests.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak argued that "the toppling down of Assad will be a major blow to
the radical axis, major blow to Iran.
Bringing down Assad would not only be a massive boon to Israel's security, it would also ease
Israel's understandable fear of losing its nuclear monopoly. Then, Israel and the United States
might be able to develop a common view of when the Iranian program is so dangerous that
military action could be warranted.
In short, the White House can ease the tension that has developed with
Israel over Iran by doing the right thing in Syria.
The opposition is not going away, nor is the regime going to accept a diplomatic solution from the outside. With his life and his family at risk, only the threat or use of force will change the Syrian dictator Bashar Assad's mind.

I was thinking the same thing - Trump needs to take his time with this.
There may be some forces at work here that are pushing for war.
I was watching a report earlier and there is conflicting information on the gas used and so far no proof Assad did it.
It makes zero sense that it would be Assad.

Obviously this didn't happen. The Obama administration told us that all the chemical agents were gone, and that our cooperation with Russia in this case only made the Iran deal look more valid. Those people aren't really dead. Obama said it couldn't happen... /s
Anyways, Assad would only be speeding up his removal by dropping chemical bombs on civilians. ZERO strategic purpose. ZERO benefit to him. Makes ZERO sense! Either he is absolutely clueless or something else is going on here.

When is an emergency and is children involved people do not run to put on the proper clothing, they are going to attend the injured immediately is human compassion, regardless if they will be suffering while touching the injured.

Well now we could hold russia responsible for this since according to the agreement they were supposed to take all chem weapons from syria.
