Blackbriar 8,569 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Next we will be hearing Assad has a weapon of ass destruction. ...I'm sure I've heard that one before though Assad does have WMDs, that's what chemical weapons are... Maybe that's where Saddam hid them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Listening to Trump's press conference with the King of Jordan and it really sounds like he's gearing up to more intervention in Syria... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C556 351 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Sounds like a false flag attack by the jihadists to drum up international support against Assad, seeing they're getting their arsed handed to them at the moment.What makes you say that? According to the reports the gas came from chemical bombs dropped from planes, the jihadists certainly aren't capable of carrying out airstrikes.That seems to be the consensus from what I've read elsewhere. Both sides are believed to have, and have used chemical weapons. It doesn't make sense for the Syrian Army to use them when they are winning in the area, can achieve the same results using conventional bombs, and would expect to face an international outcry if they're used. It will probably be unlikely to prove exactly what happened.Those who want Assad deposed will use it to try and drum up aid for the rebels and call for military action against Assad. The consensus is that it was a false flag attack? Amongst who? Not even the Russians are claiming it was a false flag carried out by the rebels... Military sites I read. The members generally think the Syrian Army never attacked the jihadists with chemical weapons yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So conspiracy theorists on the internet then Why is Russia covering up the rebels false flag attack with this story about regime airstrikes hitting a chemical weapons store then?

C556 351 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Take it with a pinch of salt then. Maybe the Syrian Army did drop chemical bombs, maybe it was the jihadists making a false flag attack, or maybe a jihadist chemical weapon stockpile was blown up. I doubt it will end up proven either way. I personally think it was unlikely to have been the Syrian Army as they have most to lose from the attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, why would they do such a thing when they know full well how much outrage it would cause across the globe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 They've used chemical weapons before with no consequences, why would they think it would be any different this time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C556 351 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Both sides have used chemical weapons in the past. The day after it happened America is now talking about taking about action in Syria against Assad. That does other bode well for the Syrian Army who has been doing well lately.

A change of heart from his numerous tweets on 'against action in Syria' a few years ago? Maybe a ratings winner? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Why would Assad when he has the backing of Russia,the war all but won and even a glimmer of international recognition start using chemical weapons it's horse shit and i have no doubt about that. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sure would win him some praise & get people focused elsewhere.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
