Israeli Vice Premier Moshe Ya’alon, seen as one of a handful of front-runners for the Defense Ministry post after the January election, has added more doubts to the Syrian rebels’ claims of the regime using “poison gas,” saying there was no “confirmation or proof” for the allegation.
“The opposition has an interest in drawing in international military intervention,” Ya’alon added. The US has also said they doubt the rebels’ claims were authentic, noting several inconsistencies in the story.
The Syrian opposition claimed the attack was in Homs and that six rebel fighters had died after inhaling “poison gas” on the front line. Ya’alon said that from the photos released “it could be other things,” but did not elaborate.
The Assad government has repeatedly ruled out using chemical or biological weapons for its internal fighting, saying those weapons are exclusively meant as a foil against foreign invasion. The Obama Administration’s repeated threats to attack if such weapons were used, however, has added a great deal of incentive into the rebels selling that narrative.
Perhaps these jokers are beginning to regret arming and training the al Qaeda supporters attacking the Syrian government.
There are no Chechen fighters in Syria, there were Chechen students
In Syria and one student was killed while on his way back home, there
Were lots of Chechen students in Syria studying Islamic religion and
I'm sure that most of them if not all left Syria as soon as the war broke
Out in Syria and I dare the Syrian government to produce even one
Chechen fighter, we don't have enough fighters to fight our own battle
Against the Russians and their collaborators why we send fighters
To Syria when we are short of fighters in our own country.
What seems to be happening is that some group external to the US and Israeli governments is trying to provoke US, and possibly, Israeli, intervention in Syria by the classic manipulation tactic of spreading false rumours. Sounds very like a neocon scam to set off a war.
Inconsistencies might be due to:
A – Mixing outdated components
B – Poorly mixed components
C – New "unlisted" toxic gases invented by Syria's research institute, or introduced by Russian, Iranian or North korean advisers
D – Improvised mixture of readly available irritants such as Peper-spry, Amonia, Chlorine
As seen in broadcasted videos; visible sings presented – of those being treated – are mostly of apprehention "significant upper airway obstruction – stridor, stuffy nose" in addition to perfuse lacrimation from redish conjuctiva, some with blepharospasm!
As far as those who died most probably they were burried without autopsy, and without saved biological or tissue samples!
Good one! As if Isreal and the US were the most credible characters in the lot.
