#3 Hummmm --- so (maybe) it's all about Saudi Arabia vs Iran...

We've not been able to "contain" Iran.... can Saudi Arabia? (with/without our help)

#4 I was thinking perhaps a red wire/green wire thing, but this theory is a deliberate attack. I've had to change my BS filters a couple times already, hell the count is anything from 300 to 1500 depending on what time of the day it is. Reporters are saying Sarin, but they also go around saying an M113 is a tank.

They did have the drumbeat on again last night with the late news but it was very neutral.

Anyone else remember a video a few months back where the rebels were showcasing gassing a lab rat?

#7 No question Zerohedge has it's own... world view, but an Iranian disinfo site? Now *that* is feverish.

#8 All their political pieces mirror the Iranian party line. Even Presstv is objective by comparison.
