Geagea Calls on Chemical Experts to Inspect Ghouta, Urges U.N. Meeting over 'Horrific Massacre'

urged the United Nations

' Sherlocks present in Syria to inspect the Reef Damascus town where "a horrific massacre" took place earlier on Wednesday.

"We strongly condemn the horrific massacre that killed hundreds of civilians and children in Reef Damascus this morning," Geagea said in a released statement.

"And we call on the U.N. Sherlocks already present in the country to inspect the location of the massacre to uncover what really happened there," he added.

Geagea also called for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting on the latest Syrian developments, "to take the necessary decisions in this matter."

"The Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
must also convene immediately to look into the massacre."

The LF leader remarked that Wednesday's attack cannot be considered in the same context as the ongoing military operations between the regime's forces and the opposition's rebels.

"The victims were killed in locations where no armed festivities that require such attacks take place," he pointed out.

"We call on all the Lebanese, regardless of their backgrounds and political views, to condemn this massacre for the human aspect it entails."

The Syrian National Coalition said that at least 1300 people were killed in a "chemical" attack in the Damascus suburban town of Ghouta.

The claim of a chemical attack, which could not be independently verified, was vehemently denied by the Syrian regime which said it was intended to hinder the mission of U.N. chemical weapons inspectors now in the country.

#2  Still would not be surprised if the AQ types were indeed the culprits here. Not like they don't have access to the stuff.

You're losing, so you absolutely have to get an advantage somehow. Direct focus of the world's anger to your enemy.

So what if some innocent bystanders are killed, it's furthering the agenda.
