MIT professor wants both gas attacks investigated, 2013 and 2017. He makes some good points in his analysis, mostly on the physics and dynamics involved.

I worked with sarin gas and organophosphates on two separate jobs. One was a lab analyzing how well the nerve agents were being destroyed. The other was at a manufacturing plant where organophosphates were manufactured. Phosgene gas leaks were not uncommon. I don't think first responders would handle the bodies without proper protective gear. At least they should have had gloves on.

The report “contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft,” .............................. Errrrr? Professor were you in the briefing room? Who supplied the information to you? Most of the intel. I’m sure was classified TS FOUO. But we appreciate your personal opinion. The use of guided munitions is to hit a specific target without major collateral damage. If the building was hit by one bomb, there was a reason to hit it. When the bomb struck the target and blew up, how much of an area did the gas cover? I sense that the bomb may have hit a gas facility whether it be for storage or production. No 16 pages, just my personal opinion, even though they claim that Assad ordered it.

I read somewhere today, don't remember where, that there is intel that the plane that dropped the chemical weapons took off​ from Saudi Arabia! It's getting down right kooky.

[Helicondelta]

If the rebels gassed their own village with chemical weapons they are probably feeling very stupid right now.

I'm about done with RT. Can't imagine the imaginings of Russian sources, sewing trouble for Trump, while siding with Iran and North Korea. What would the have to gain? Oh, I forgot... a lot! LOL! Let the enemy conspiracies commence. 😎.

[John W]

So he gave his report to RT America? Ok.

[Slyfox]

It is amazing that the only intel we are subjected to comes from CNN and the previous head of the CIA who was a convert to islam.

“Postol has investigated the Ghouta chemical attack, and he has collaborated with Maram Susli (known online as ‘Syrian Girl’) in investigating the incident through examining YouTube footage and other sources”

He watches YouTube. Good to know that I’m now a fellow investigator.

RT (Russia Today) is a Moscow controlled propaganda media outlet. Its creator was found dead in a Wash DC hotel room in Nov 2015. RT and the other state-controlled outlets reported at the time that he had died of a heart attack. However, an autopsy, 4 months later, showed he had died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head, neck, and torso. He apparently had some sort of falling out with the KGB/FB thug Putin.

Anytime a liberal, especially a professor, says the word, obviously, it’s anything but obvious. The same goes for the words “ it clear,” or “clearly.”

[IndispensableDestiny]

Theodore Postol is no CW expert. He is a weapons systems quack.

Why the hell were they leaking phosgene? I presume they were making chlorinated organophosphate pesticide.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

On one hand, I share many of the question you and the prof bring up, for the same reasons. I did at the time and I still do.

On the other hand, rhetorically asking, what good is it going to do to question the overwhelming conclusion? The conclusion that has been reached is the one we have been instructed to accept. You and I are never going to get better than 6th hand information.

[Snowybear]

RT America.

Sorry, gonna go have a laughing fit.

[blueplum]

The professor is an idiot incapable of using a search engine.

2013 has been investigated and confirmed

UN Report: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2013/08/world/syria-documents/index.html

Latrile gloves in a war zone? good luck with that. I saw a utube of one victim gasping for life - being treated in what they jokingly call a hospital. They were using an asthma inhaler in an attempt to get his airway open. An inhaler. They’d run out of atrophine. That’s desperate conditions, my FRiends.

FWIW this is from a real journalist with a significant record:

Fake or real, it was still a flimsy pretext and excuse to intervene in Syria.

[wastoute]

Thank you! I have been posting this for days. No way the rescuers in those videos were dealing with Sarin or they would have been victims themselves.

[Candor7]

I’ll hazard a guess that this MIT professor “believes” in global warming too.

Here is an old article from the Daily Beast, about Youtuber “SyrianGirl” and her history with Postrol. Postrol it seems, is always on the anti-American side of the “scientific” debate.
