John Kerry: Syrian regime killed 1,429 people in chemical attack

The White House released a four-page assessment Friday laying out the evidence the government used to conclude that Syria launched a chemical weapons attack last week, as President Obama continues to lay the groundwork for retaliatory strikes.

“We assess with high confidence that the Syrian government carried out the chemical weapons attack against opposition elements in the Damascus suburbs on August 21,” the report, labeles the “U.S. Government Assessment of the Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013.”

The assessment said the attack, on 12 locations in the Damascus area, killed at least 1,429 people, including at least 426 children — a specific death rate that is higher than many of the initial reports had suggested.

In the assessment, U.S. officials said they detected rocket launches from territory controlled by troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, and a review of video of the attack suggests that the wounds were consistent with chemical weapons use.

Syrian regime officials have denied using chemical weapons, and have speculated that in fact the rebels might have used them instead.

But the U.S. assessment said it is the regime that has the type of weapons believed to have been used.

“We assess the Syrian opposition does not have the capability to fabricate all of the videos, physical symptoms verified by medical personnel and NGOs, and other information associated with this chemical attack,” the report said.....

Did we go into Rwanda when hundreds of thousands were killed? Armenia? Cambodia? Buehler? Buehler?

They have no physical samples and they do not have any admissions by the regime that they used chem weapons. Intercepts show the opposite.

[AppyPappy]

So what ya gonna do about it, pusscake Kerry?

[freeangel]

Sure, there were lots of people killed —probaby by gas supplied by obama and his buddies.

This must be Boehners fault somehow...Being sarcastic, some FR idiots out today could not help taking potshots at hapless Boehner today

The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF allows the Muslim Brotherhood to KILL CHRISTIANS in Syria, and take over another country.

It really is a "more progressive, blood lust".
Little do they know that they are fulfilling what our Heavenly Father said would happen.
Yet they are seeing the Greater Exodus happening before our eyes,
and most either are too involved in their "day-to-day lives", or they just don't want to see, that what God SAID would happen ... IS happening now.
Hussein of America is INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING AMERICA, from the inside out.

Toxic Catch: SYRIA REBELS' CHEMICAL LAB Uncovered Near Damascus, ( 4:51 )

Published on Jul 14, 2013

Syrian state TV says the military has found a chemical laboratory
which produces poisonous materials in the town of Jobar on the outskirts of Damascus.
Sources claim the REBELS were planning to stuff shells with the chemicals and use them to attack the capital.
RT's Middle East correspondent Paula Slier reports.

The Muslims are guilty of the chemical attack, not the Christians, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF knows it.
But the ARAB-KENYANand MUSLIM defiling the Oval Office doesn't care.
Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro) just want to turn Syria into another Muslim Brotherhood run country, and kill Christians.
It's just that simple!

After Obama lost his British skirt to hide behind, I figured the WH would be playing the Shut Up game. Assad’s 11 year-old kid even called the President a wuss.
If someone did use chemical weapons and we don’t do anything, we just took them off the “Do Not Use” list.

John Fraud Kerry becomes more reminiscent of Genghis Khan by the day.

“We assess the Syrian opposition does not have the capability to fabricate all of the videos, physical symptoms verified by medical personnel and NGOs, and other information associated with this chemical attack,”

The rebels captured Al-Safira in April. Al-Safira was one of Syria's largest chemical weapons facilities.

I wonder what LIES he’ll be telling this time!

Less than $3.1k to go!!
Let’s git ‘er done!!

No Sale

Send out the Clown

[cincinnati65]

Wait a minute. Let's re-read this: “We assess the Syrian opposition does not have the capability to fabricate all of the videos, physical symptoms verified by medical personnel and NGOs, and other information associated with this chemical attack,”

He's not saying the rebels weren't capable of the attack. He's saying that they're not capable of making up all the evidence of the attack they've seen, so that proves the government did it???

[SusaninOhio]

No, but Obama has taken us into 24 African nations and deployed forces to Yeman, Syria, Libya and Egypt and killed 3 times as many US troops in Afganistan than died under Bush.

He has a proxy war in Somalia and drone war in Pakistan that has killed thousands of civilians.

He opened a military base in Chile and he still maintains a “presence” in Iraq.

[M Kehoe]

Didn't John F'n Kerry kill a Vietnamese boy one time? He, Kerry said he used a .50 cal if memory serves me.

Not off topic,...I'll bet Wesley Clark will have a sigh of relief when 0bama bombs Syria. Why? Because 0bama will be the one to get us in a shooting war with Ivan, not Wesley.

5.56mm

This number was provided by the Jihadist rebels. Kerry used it as fact.

[Dick Bachert]

It’s a DIVERSION from all the domestic scandals besetting this gang of criminals.

Hey, all you stupid low and no information voters. Don’t look there. Look at this shiny thing over HERE!

Kerry: “The question is whether we — we collectively — what are we and the world going to do about it?”

Every creep in the Hussein administration wants America to sacrifice itself for “the world.”

Screw them and screw “the world.”

[BenLurkin]

Hussein intends to use the US Navy assets in support of our sworn enemies.

Boehner needs to step up to the plate and put a stop to that.
