650 reported killed in Syrian 'chemical' weapons attack

Surely killed or wounded is the same whether by bullets or shells or chemicals. we should be just as outraged at the former as the latter.

No SNIDE remarks how everyone should stay out of this one ? Hmmmm? Where are all the Arm Chair Generals?

I am sure when US intervenes, going by how things are going its just matter of when, they will find exactly the same number of chemical weapons they found in Iraq.

Yup, there you go, I KNEW there was at least ONE of you out there. Tell all the hundreds of Kurds that were murdered there that there was no chemical weapons.

No chemical weapons? Well that depends on what you mean by "chemical weapons"? Gunpowder is a chemical, so is tear gas, so is a bottle of Aquarius if you throw it REALLY hard...

There's nothing in this report indicating what the substance was and even if there was then the U.S. should stay out of it... more people die when the U.S. comes to "save" them than die when they just sit tight and wait for the bad guys to die of old age.

Oh dear, here we go again. When this crisis started, just before the UNSC was to meet to discuss what to do about Syria, we were told that Assad had ordered snipers to murder a bunch of innocent civilians.

And now, after months of Assad winning back control of the country and clobbering the mainly-foreign "rebel" forces, and the west itching to help overthrow him by sending weapons and possibly boots on the ground, and right when the UN is there to investigate allegations of chemical weapon use, we are expected to believe that Assad decided it was a good time to use chemical weapons!!!! How stupid do these propaganda agents think the world is?

From what I read in the Internet and watch in U-Tube, the CIA, NSA FBI, etc, have their own Hollywood Department.

In Syria and Egypt military dictatorships are fighting the Muslim Brotherhood and massacring civilians. Western governments are lining up to condemn Syria and are desperate to get involved on the side of the militants. Yet the same governments have nothing to say about Egypt and, in the case of the US, continue to fund the military dictatorship even as it massacres civilians.

Hmmm. Will be interesting to see what happens if this is confirmed.

There are shocking and very convincing videos on Youtube that chemical weapons were used. Many corps including children, lying on the floor and there are no apparent wounds on their bodies. They seemed to be suffocated. If chemical weapon use is medically confirmed, this attack will be a war crime.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8mEMSEOq0 The video in question and this pro-Rebel group has others that are newer.

he finds it "suspicious" that in the week UN inspectors enter the country with the acquiescence of Assad, the Government welcomes them with a chemical weapons missile barrage.

-amazing timing isn't it.

Scrote: Western governments are lining up to condemn Syria and are desperate to get involved on the side of the militants. Yet the same governments have nothing to say about Egypt

Actually they have said a lot. Not sure how you didn't notice.

Has China blamed Japan for this outrage yet?

The rebels are being hammered, no need for Assad to use chemical weapons, only a simpleton would think otherwise.

Another ' Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction story ' cooked up by the American and supported by the western press with condiments added in by the Arab League headed by Saudi Arabia and their rebels.
