Russia says ISIS are using chemical weapons in Syria after UN confirm discovery of deadly gases

The claims come over two years after Assad agreed to hand over Syria's entire arsenal of chemical weapons

ussia has accused terror group ISIS of using chemical weapons in Syria .

Russia's Foreign Ministry claims there is a "high probability" that the deadly weapons are being used by Islamic State terrorists.

RIA news agency reported that Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of the Russian foreign ministry department for non-proliferation and arms control, made the accusation today.

Ulyanov also called for an investigation into possible supplies of sarin components from Turkey to Syria.

This comes after a United Nations report found that some people in Syria have been exposed to deadly sarin gas or a compound like it.

So it looks like it was not Assad's forces that used chemical weapons after all. And we almost bombed them on behalf of ISIS aka the Free Syrian Army.

Obama had a so called red line but he was going to bomb the wrong target. This also explains why Obama did not bomb - he knew that the Russians could prove it was not Assad and Obama would have been caught going to war in the ME on false pretenses.

PS: This is not the Saddam stockpiles. These are freshly made.

"Ulyanov also called for an investigation into possible supplies of sarin components from Turkey to Syria."

It never made sense that it was Assad. He had nothing to gain from their use.

What's disturbing is that EVERYONE in the HOR and US Senate supported the Obama/McCain lies. How could they not have been skeptical? I can only conclude that they are all complicit in the DC game.

---------------

Turns out reports of that were BS but people still cling to this myth. I also recall stories of Iraqi ships were supposed to be loaded with the WMD sailing the ocean blue in circles.

In any case here is an article: No, Syria Doesn’t Have Saddam’s Chemical Weapons

That is it exactly. The only thing that stopped Obama is either he was not in on it and suspected it was a set up by forces looking to have him act or he was in on it and knew he would be exposed after the fact and would make him look like another W. Bush.

Gee, I wonder where they got THOSE. 2003 is calling......Saddam Hussein says he wished he hadn’t sent all those chemical weapons to Syria.....that he could have used them against us and he would probably still be alive now.

Chemical weapons supplied by Obama and Hillary through Christopher Stevens and Libya.

We all saw the videos Al Jazeera posted of the terrorists that the US trained firing gas filled artillery shells. And now Russia has the proof. “We” or the Obama state office back in 2011 when this happened supplied the terrorists with weapons that are killing hundreds of thousands in Syria and Libya. Oh, wait, that was Hillary Clinton

Interesting article, but it doesn’t debunk the Iraqi WMD meme. It’s a lot of conjecture (well thought out perhaps) with no evidence debunking anything.

SO.... you are saying that the Sat photos I reviewed at the time of convoys heading to Bekka Valley were false ? That the US special forces who intercepted the convoy, but weren't allowed to inspect it because of 'diplomatic immunity' were liars ?

The Bush admin outright stated that Saddam had gotten rid of his WMD but had been playing a ruse to seem like he could start up production or had secret stashes. Also, Syria and Iraq were hostile to each other.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in any way saying the WMDs were whisked away to Syria. But there is evidence that it could have happened, and the author doesn't debunk the evidence. He just asserts that it isn't logical. But even if Iraq and Syria were enemies, that doesn't preclude the possibility. Strange things happen in war.

There were WMDs found in Iraq, and the Congressional report detailed what and where. It wasn't much, but for a regime that agreed to have none, it was a violation of the cease fire.

Well.... I believe my own eyes and our military more than your undocumented claim. You have not even offered any proof.
