(Reuters) - Syria's opposition accused President Bashar al-Assad's forces of gassing many hundreds of people - by one report as many as 1,300 - on Wednesday in what would, if confirmed, be the world's worst chemical weapons attack in decades.

I’m gonna say this now. I don’t think Jesus waits much longer.

I would wager this current world doesn’t last much longer than 2015-ish.

Beware the accuse the accuser scenario. Islam features it as a favorite in their playbook.

Oh I totally agree.

It is probably in fact the fault of the Syrian rebels blaming Assad for it.

My thoughts when I saw this story was.. wow.. we’re nearing the VERY end of this world.

Maybe the “rebels” feel that the attention has moved to the problems to their east. Sounds like an attempt to get the spotlight back.

Signs? Mark? Antichrist? Plagues? Famines? Asteroids? World - wide earthquakes? 1/3rd green burnt up? water turned to blood? 2 witnesses?

I’m just not understanding your connection.

Self serving utterings from these people carry the same weight as an Obama assertion.

Actually, I think I want more proof than what Reuters says or reports. I saw a picture this morning of supposedly a group of children, dead from poison gas, all laid out in a makeshift morgue. The big sticking point I have with it is the relative peacefulness of the children whose faces could clearly be seen. It did not look to me as if they’d been killed by a gas attack; it looked like they were sleeping. IOW, they did not look like they were dead.

The numbers the jihadis are throwing out keep going up. Wonder what it will be by the end of today’s news cycle.

al qaeda opened some of hussein’s canisters and killed people just to blame Assad... this murderous play is disgusting. Assad is no choir boy but animals need a strong zoo keeper to keep them from eating one another.

Amen to that... I couldn't agree more. Democracy for baboons doesn't end well. They need a strong, powerful overlord to rule them.

the mooselimes have been known to FAKE photo ops.

the most recent I know to be a fake was a video in which the hand of an alleged corpse laying on a stretcher was moved during the short segment....revealing UTTERLY NO WOUND under his blood soaked t shirt.

This photo was entirely suspicious. Faces and color were normal, no fluids, paleness, no sunken eyes, no nothing...FAKED in my opinion.

The Christian-killing Syrian “rebels” used that strategy before!!!!

Of course, obama, Hillary, and McCain have backed the “rebels” (i.e., Al Qaeda) from the beginning!!!!
