| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Chlorine gas was 'systematically and repeatedly' used against Syrian civilians in attacks on their villages this year, according to a new report. New findings by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) conclude that the dangerous, choking gas was contained in bombs dropped on the settlements. The report does not pin blame for the attacks on anybody, though the Syrian Army, loyal to president Bashir al-Assad, have previously been blamed for horrifying chemical weapons attacks. |

| #7 Chlorine gas is 2.5 times heavier than air. Not good if you are in a trench or basement. |

| #6 I once had a lab accident, involving a giant spurt of chlorine gas straight up the schnoz. Instant headache that felt like someone had split the hemispheres of my brain with an ax. I informed the professor, who shrugged it off. With such a thoroughly sterilized respiratory tract, he joked that at least I'd be safe from colds and flu for a good six months. Smartass. I slept it off and was fine the next day. Just sayin, I can't imagine how much it must take, outdoors, to inflict permanent damage. Chlorine is kids' stuff, compared to most other CW agents. |

| #5 By whom. Seems Chlorine Bombs are weapons of irregulars, such as what was used vs. USA in Iraq. |

| #2 How many of those civilians were actually ISIS or Al Nusra, or one of the other dozens (hundreds?) of 'brigades' or 'armies' fighting Assad which range from Moslem Brotherhood to ISIS in daily cruelty, but share the goal of instituting Sharia Law over the entire population? Or their purchased [formerly non-Sunni] wives and slaves? |

| #1 Well, they ARE Arabs and Islam is the Religion of Peace. You sort of expect this sort of thing when it comes down to Values...from Moslems. You got any Moslem neighbors in your town? Invite them over and be friendly. It is all probably a mis-understanding. |
