This is a combination Benghazi/TM ping.
There are pictures of the tunnels under the area where this happened. Some of them were contaminated and some held weapons and gas masks. It was not in assad’s best interest to do this. I have yet to hear that people were awakened by a rocket attack. The way it seems to have gone down was by stealth in the middle of the night, That sounds more like cannisyers were employed at low level attacking people in their sleep. How hard would it have been to distribute cannisters, pop them open, spray, then remove the cannisters when they were empty?
Please, links would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Whatever that is in the film clip it is not a state-of-the-art chemical warfare laboratory. But could be a do-it-yourself try-out.
Of course if the CW was spread by missiles there should have been some people injured by shrapnel, blast etc. Also, as I mentioned lots of first-aid workers would have been injurded/killed by the CW agents. However, all that is lost in the fog of war. No one knows at the moment - whatever the politicians say.....
It would not surprise me at all if Obama had the Muslim Brotherhood committed this human atrocity to justify a “ red line in the sand” intervention. It make Obama heap big man!
But I cannot get emotional about it particularly. The left has waxed compassionate whenever it suits them, and now they need a diversion from the Obama debacle presidency.
Remember Saddam Hussein gasing 4000 Kurds?Bill Clinton had just taken over from GH Bush, and Clinton did nothing, same in the Huti -Tutsi genocide, and later , same in Somalia and the Sudan.
Can any one blame the American people if they are somewhat skepticle of Obamas leftist , new found compassion, which will be sure to create another Vietnam, instead of letting these enemies of the West kill each other off?
I guess in the long run if they killed each other off, oil prices would go down because of Muslim disunity on price setting in OPEC. But Obama is hauling water for the House of Saud, supporting the Sunni cause, preventing pipeline construction at home,and keeping oil prices high.This Obama is doing not for AMerica, but for the House of Saud and their running dogs, the British and others, keeping the money spigots open for the political classes of Europe , who have invested heavily in Arab oil and in its culture of Islamic expansion.
Israel is also in the lurch if Obama strikes, and in this he wants to punish or destroy Israel, which now has armed enemies on its Southern, Eastern and Northern borders, as well as Gaza to its West. Rather cheeky of Obama to decide to throw the Jews to the dogs of war , is it not? Obama deserves to be turfed from office, its been a long time coming,for many reasons, including betrayal of our allies.
Thank you Mesta for all the pings (here and the others).
Mornin’ all,
I didn’t have time to read the Syrian threads and I don’t know if you have this info I found in an Egyptian paper, el Mogaz under the title:
“The Free Army INJECTS corpses with chemicals to convict the regime”
Here’s the video, maybe our intelligence agencies “acknowledge” the facts instead of following 0b0z0’s agenda to create Syrian emirates under al Qaeda rule.

Egypt turned on the MB. The agenda for the Arab spring couldn’t wrestle Egypt down, thus, Syria HAS TO GO DOWN!
Ralph peters got it right but no one wants to listen!
When I was a kid, the Marines used to run a jeep with a trailer mounted fogger down my street and every street in my neighborhood and spray poison in the air.
