White House releases Intel Assessment re Syria Chem Weapon use
Syrian Government Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21A large body of independent sources indicates that a chemical weapons attack took place in the Damascus suburbs on August 21. In addition to U.S. intelligence information, there are accounts from international and Syrian medical personnel; videos; witness accounts; thousands of social media reports from at least 12 different locations in the Damascus area; journalist accounts; and reports from highly credible nongovernmental organizations. the issue that stands out from this is that Assad must be desperate - using chem weapons near Damascus-- he apparently couldn't clear the rebels from those places with all the Hezbollah and Iran troops and his best Alawite regulars Posted by: lord garth 2013-09-01 |
