The White House has issued a statement saying it is “deeply troubled” by the latest rebel allegations of a government chemical weapon attack in Syria, demanding an immediate UN investigation into the claim.
That should be easy, as the UN inspectors are already in Syria. Why Syria would’ve waited for the inspectors to get there before launching a huge attack is simply baffling, as are the wide variety of death tolls, ranging from “dozens” to over 1,600.
Russian Foreign Ministry officials say that their information suggests the strike was actually a homemade rocket with an unknown chemical substance similar to the one rebels used in March against troops in Khan al-Assal.
The UN Security Council says there is a “general sense” that there needs to be clarity about what actually happened, but had to end up vaguely worded as Britain and France wanted a harsh condemnation, and Russia and China rejected that, citing a lack of evidence.
With Obama on his heals over NSA and his popularity plunging he desperately attempts to change the subject by arguing for direct intervention in Syria. And pressured rebels to fabricate an Assad gas attack as a pretext?
Well no, he stays ON the subject. This is the multitrick dog&pony clown show. And now for some CARE.
Russians would not allowed Assad to use chemical weapons they have too much lose, plus Assad is winning on the ground.
israel was the one that made the claim….who would have guessed that
in all likely hood they were the ones that did it ..if something was done in the first place…
they know that the US msm would never ever blame them even if they had concrete evidence..
looks like israels catastrophic zionism is on pace to destroy all the arab nations
What baffles me is that the US government does not use the word, "alleged" in the statement. The statement clearly shows bias.
The Voice of Russia shows that the videos were made on August 20th, not on the 21-st.
If the poisoning happened at 3:00 a.m., as rebels claim, how come all children run around fully dressed in day clothes? Isn't it the first reaction to grab the kid and run out? Also, the proportion of dead ans sickened children to the suffering adults is strange. http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2013_08_22/News-of-…
