Syria chemical attack evidence may have been destroyed: Hague
2013-08-26
[Al Ahram] British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Sunday warned that any evidence of a chemical attack by the Syrian may regime may have already been destroyed. "The fact is that much of the evidence could have been destroyed by that artillery bombardment," he cautioned during a press conference after Damascus gave its green light to a mission by UN inspectors.

#5  The so called rebel freedom fighters of mixed nations were losing since February. This set up is a request for assistance from anybody with the money to spend and for a few nations new blood. So a few innocences were sacrificed for a worthy cause, it was cause they were needed.

#4  This seems to be a back-handed way of admitting that Assad's people fired artillery shells at a rebel ammo dump that turned out to contain chemical arms.

#3  Roll the bagged and tagged corpses over, dig them up if you have to. Get out your kit and do a swab and smear of their tongues and their nasal passages. Can't find any corpses? I assume there ARE corpse with blue swollen lips and bugging eyes covered in their own vomit otherwise why did we buy plane tickets and ride the bus to Goombah ?

Do Moslems burn their dead? Then there are corpses. Get the shovel. The Lab can tell us if there is any residue and take lots of pictures.

NOW, is Obama going to actually DO anything but run his mouth? Be serious. Obama is a suit and the boyz down at the Pentagon ...well...most of them shaved this morning and have air conditioning.

And the Marines in sweaty fatigues in the back of Barracks H who are stringing link ammo they would just love to die in Syria.
Ask one.
No, ( on second thought ) don't.

#1  Iff true, such would violate the Bammer's "clear evidence" rule, hence no need for US to attack + intervene in Syria???
