One of the most precise and dramatic details cited by the Obama administration as proof that Syrian forces used chemical weapons in an August 21 attack was the death toll, which an official U.S. government assessment put at 1,429 people, including 426 children.
The number, first released by the White House on August 30, was underscored by Secretary of State John Kerry in a fiery indictment of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, describing videos of what he said were victims of the attack, which Syria denies.
"Instead of being tucked safely in their beds at home, we saw rows of children lying side by side sprawled on a hospital floor, all of them dead from Assad's gas and surrounded by parents and grandparents who had suffered the same fate. The United States Government now knows that at least 1,429 Syrians were killed in this attack, including at least 426 children," he said.
Some U.S. congressional sources are now casting doubt on those figures.
Three congressional sources told Reuters that administration officials had indicated in private that some deaths might have been caused by the conventional bombing that followed the release of sarin gas in suburban Damascus neighborhoods. This disclosure undermined support for President Barack Obama's plan to strike Syria, they said.

excuse me for being ticked, but everything out of the mouth of this administration is a lie. period.
and why wouldn’t it be. just take a look at david axlerod, does he really look like a guy who says, whats best for America and the American people? barf
Because the kids killed by the bombs were not nearly as dead as those killed by gas.
Why would anyone believe anything our President or the MSM tell us. Shades of behind the iron curtain, 1960.
If I understand correctly, in this Muslim on Muslim atrocity fest, we are backing the side most likely to foment violence that spills beyond the borders of Syria because the side that wants to ruthlessly control those bent on international Jihad used chemical weapons.
So, it’s better that the international Jihadists win and get control of those chemical weapons.
This administration is insane.
excuse me for being ticked, but everything out of the mouth of this administration is a lie. period
And thats what makes it easy for Putin to lecture us......
Obama, exaggerate, obfuscate and lie to present a case favorable to his desired result? Say it isn’t so!
I hope so much that I’m right when I say it looks like the worm is turning. Either his puppet masters are tired of him going off script. Or he’s got the dumbest andvisors in the world.

As I understand it, if the Syrians might be bombing Syrians, then Obama is going to have his military bomb some Syrians. That will teach them a limited lesson.

Since the execution of prisoners -- which I understand occasionally still happens in the US -- is done by lethal injection, we are technically committing chemical warfare. And given the demographics of who kills, it's probably against a minority population to boot. My gawd! We are just as bad as Syria.
I don't want to be in trouble with Vlad. I say we push our capital prisoners out of windows.
What was napalm?
There aren’t that many kinetic (gravity) bombs in use, and no nukes since 1945. So, technically most bombs are “chemical” weapons.
