Syrian activists close to the country’s opposition claimed hundreds of people were killed in a “poison gas” attack by regime forces outside Damascus Wednesday.

There were several differing reports on a death toll. Activists told Al-Arabiya that 635 people were killed in the attack in Eastern Ghouta, while Reuters reported that 213 died.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the toll at dozens, while the Local Coordination Committees said hundreds were killed. …

I posted this on a similar thread:

“First communique from the MB on the breaking-up of the Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins:

2,000 killed and 100,000 injured! Where are these numbers today?

I don’t believe a word these bastards say! They shoot their own and civilians in the back. It wasn’t enough, therefore, they used gas AND/OR lied about it.

Those animals will never admit losing a battle or a war, it’s always somebody else’s “playing unfair!” The West is so much in the tank that they are trying to save the MB. The international MB’s goose is cooked no matter what the West does.

Does it remind you of something?

Our administration’s “ it’s Bush’s fault!””

Ah, yes, Jamie Gore-lick...

Built the wall between agencies that prevented the intel sharing that could have prevented 9-11;

Stonewalled every probe against her boss and BFF, Janet Reno;

Lied on the 9-11 Commission;

Jamie Gore-lick. Loyal Leftist.

Back when Colon Powell was on our side, he was outraged over lines of trucks hauling who knows what out to Syria. Even showed video. But many of the msm denied it just days after.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Assad regime, and the Iranian mullahcracy, and the Hizbollah, and the Russians used special gas that only kills jihadists. Y'know, jihadists other than Iranians and Hizbollah.
