Syrian Rebels Claim Hundreds Killed By Poison-Gas Attack
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Haroon Siddique reports for The Guardian that opposition activists have accused forces loyal to the Assad regime of using chemical weapons in towns in the eastern Ghouta. Accounts of the death toll vary wildly. The British based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights put the number killed at 'dozens.' Others put the figure much higher. The Local Coordination Committees said 'hundreds' were killed, the majority of them civilians. Graphic videos purporting to show the victims of the attack have been posted online (WARNING: graphic) showing chaotic scenes of people, including children, having seizures, being treated, and dead bodies lined up. 'Symptoms of the patients include nausea, hallucinations, suffocation, hard coughing, high blood pressure, seizures etc,' says the Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC). 'There is still no clue of the chemical weapon/toxic gas that was used by the regime's forces to target the innocent civilians.' Ake Sellstrom, the Swedish scientist who heads the U.N. inspection team in Syria, told the Swedish media that he had seen only the television images of the alleged attacks. 'But the high number of wounded and dead they are speaking about sounds suspicious,' Sellström told Swedish news agency TT, via telephone from Damascus. 'It sounds like something one should take a look at.'. The official Syrian news agency called the reports 'untrue' and designed to derail a United Nations inquiry into charges of chemical weapons in the conflict."
The side that's winning decides to piss off everyone by using poison gas on civilians/rebels. I guess now all the bleeding hearts will be chanting for Chairman Obama to "liberate" and "freedomize" the nation of Syria from their secular ruler so we can gain a level headed theocracy in it's place.
That's exactly what the Muzzies are relying on. Its an obvious lie, but the PC crowd in the west will label pointing this out as "islamaphobic", so governments will act against the secularists
...maybe there's something wrong with me, but I didn't think it was 'graphic' in the slightest.
Said the guy named Assmasher.
Yahweh used chemical weapons against the Egyptians, targeted ones to kill every first born male, or o turn the freshwater river into unusable blood.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Why couldn't we have resettled the WWII refugee Jews somewhere besides the craziest most blood thirsty place on the planet. Like say New Jersey or somewhere in Canada?
Because their ancient book of myths said that was where their home land is.
But by choice their second home land is in SE Florida - mostly Boca Raton.
