Syria conflict: 'Chemical attacks kill hundreds'

[eddie]

Doctors without Borders reported this concerning these gas attacks-

"Three hospitals supported by Doctors Without Borders reported to the global humanitarian group that they received roughly 3,600 patients showing neurotoxic symptoms in the less than three hours Wednesday — 355 of whom reportedly died, according to a statement released by the group on Saturday.
Although the group “can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack,” the reported symptoms “strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent,” said Dr. Bart Janssens, Doctors Without Borders’ director of operations, according to the statement."

Fixing bayonets already too, before even finding out who was responsible.

I don't think the feds should go rushing into the middle of a civil war, if at all. There will need to be a collateral damage event with a neighbor before they can get the international blessing to cut the head off the snake. Until then, let the Arab states sort it out. Assad is an idiot. Who will he rule if he kills them all?

And who will rule and keep the Shariasticas in check when he is gone?

Good point, if Assad is done away with Syria might be ruled by someone who aligns himself with theocracies and supplies Islamic terrorists with weapons

It is now purported that the rebels were supplied a chemical agent by Saudi Arabia and were supplied chemical agent antidote by Qatar.

Draw your own conclusions.

Did you expect any different?
History provides hundreds of similar examples from all over the world.
Its just part of a cycle that's part of a cycle that's part of a cycle, its way too early to see which way this finally spins out.

Well whichever way it goes I can't really see any positive outcomes, just more of the same old.

Time will tell, the regional players are backing different sides against each other to try and push their own dominance in the area, but those players are also struggling in their own countries to control their own population.

A new PR campaign by Assad,lol Nothing more then the same old crap, with a lot of finger pointing!

UN. claims Assad agreed to let inspectors go to the site in question.

Should I trust my ears here?

Question is, when.

If it is true, than somebody must have had the means to put a whole lot of pressure onto him.

That's got weird.
After all the shouting for access, now they are getting it they say they don't want the evidence.

I also just heard this news a few hours ago, that Assad at first said "no" to going into the claimed chemical war zone and has now reversed his decision to a "yes".

Very strange indeed

I would personally like to see US special forces be air dropped into the middle of the conflict on to the air field that these chemical weapons are being stored to secure them ... bring in the big air transports using fighter air cover ... off load bullet proof 18 wheelers to transport them via land across to Jordan or even Lebanon to safe guard these weapons for disposal later.

Sounds too Hollywood though ... like the "A team" movie, uh?

I would code name it with signs on the back of the trucks;
"Kiss my ass with a RPG and we all die"

but they have been training for something like this:

• US training Syrian opposition forces in Jordan for months, …
