Thanks bud. This week is particularly tough since consensus on the strike by the US is less than 100%. Clarice Feldman has some great stuff from the French intel. But, I still question why would Bashir Assad gas his own people with Trump announcing in Cleveland he wants to get out of Syria. Makes no sense to me.
It’s a question of what I missed and where.
On CBS an employee of the bombed out research building who worked there for 38 years claimed he didn’t do poisonous gas research there at all. Same thing heard on several other sites.

How a Pesticide Caused Mass Casualties in Khan Sheikhoun
The U.N. Commission report says it investigated claims by Russian and Syrian officials that a Syrian airstrike hit a “weapons depot” and having found them to lack credibility, determined that there are “reasonable grounds” to believe that the casualties were the result of a Syrian air force sarin attack. But the evidence now available leaves little doubt that both the initial Russian and Syrian government explanation and the local government-White Helmet explanations have deliberately obscured the real cause of the mass casualties
Eyewitness accounts of the airstrike, the revelations in Seymour Hersh’s article in Die Welt and other information about the building hit by a Syrian bomb, the geographic pattern of the casualties, the known characteristics of aluminum phosphide and the symptoms of the victims all indicate a very different explanation: A Syrian high explosive bomb hit supplies of aluminum phosphide stored in a building in the northeast area of Khan Sheikhoun, releasing a cloud of deadly phosphine gas, which caused the deaths and injuries.
Syrian and Russian government statements about the event have confused the issue by insisting that the Syrian airstrike took place at 11:30am, rather than before 7:00am. Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the target was “near Khan Sheikhoun” rather than in the city itself. That was an obvious effort to conflate the early morning airstrike with a second airstrike later that morning on a complex run by the White Helmets civil defense organization east of Khan Sheikhoun, that included an underground medical facility as well as offices and storage areas.
Konashenkov described the target of the strike as a “terrorist warehouse” where bombs had been made that “contained toxic substances.” The spokesman said the alleged warehouse had stocked the same chemical weapons that had been used by rebels in Aleppo, and that the symptoms shown by Khan Sheikhoun victims in videos were the same as those exhibited by victims of chemical weapons in Aleppo.
But contrary to the official Syrian and Russian account, the main target of the airstrike was clearly not the complex east of Khan Sheikhoun, but a building in Khan Sheikhoun itself. Accounts from a number of eyewitnesses indicate that an airstrike hit a two-story building about 240 meters southwest of the crater the local authorities and activists claim had been left by the strike, as well as a second building another 100 meters southwest. Photographs in a report by activists belonging to NGOs who support the armed opposition show (pp. 34-35) what had been a two-story cinderblock building that was completely destroyed by the airstrike.
The U.N. Commission does not deny that a strike hit targets other than the crater but simply ignores the evidence that the northernmost of those two buildings was the source of the deaths and injuries. Eyewitness accounts confirmed, however, that the bomb that destroyed the building was also the source of a lethal toxic chemical cloud. A 14-year-old eyewitness told the New York Times she saw a bomb dropped on a building at that time in the morning create what she described as a yellow mushroom cloud that stung her eyes. Another witness said she heard a loud explosion and saw a yellow-orange cloud, and that her daughter inhaled the gas from that cloud and died very soon after from its effects.
It turns out that one of the alleged eyewitness cited by Human Rights Watch as having seen a bomb being dropped at the crater site was actually watching the bomb that destroyed that building. Ahmed al-Helou, a farmer who was on a hill at an unspecified distance east of the city, told Human Rights Watch he saw the bomb fall “in front of” the central bakery—meaning west of the bakery, which faces the main road—and that it created “yellowish smoke.” But as the Google Earth aerial view of the area of Khan Sheikhoun below shows, the central bakery is not east of the now infamous crater; it is about 50 meters south of it. The cinder block building demolished by the bomb, however, is about 200 meters west of the bakery, so the bakery would have been between al-Helou and the demolished building. He saw the same explosion and yellow smoke as the other two eyewitnesses.

im now wondering if this is what i missed,it would also leave validity to Claric feldmans evidence that the French confirmed the boming was done by the Syrians since it was.
Problem is it was a conventional bomb that hit the wrong target and wound up killing a lot of people but never was sarin or any other poison gas. This could be what happened.
I agree RG.
Why did Assad gas those people? What did they do to him? I’ve yet to fill that this is clear.
Also, folks, Jeff Sessions.
I am done with him.
Do not come on this thread and tell me what a nice guy he is. There is nothing right about this guy.
I believe he was paid (or perhaps blackmailed) to follow Trump around like and adoring child.
“Go on. He’ll appoint you AG, we got it straight from him,” the Democrats told him. “And if you recuse yourself immediately after the appointment, we won’t reveal those pictures of you with that young boy.”
Or course I made the above up. But something ain’t right about Sessions and once I prayed that I was wrong.
Well I still pray that I am wrong but by me, Sessions is on the other side.
It’s very obvious Trump doesn’t like the guy.
I still question why would Bashir Assad gas his own people with Trump announcing in Cleveland he wants to get out of Syria. Makes no sense to me.
It’s a question of what I missed and where.
Agree. But somehow it happened, and unlike Obama The Donald saw that someone used them against civilians and took the opportunity to send a message. Also he may have been saying maybe no boots on the ground, but we come by air whenever and wherever necessary...
I agree with you
