GAZIANTEP, Turkey – Survivors described it as something akin to a horror movie: babies foaming at the mouth, children choking and victims wailing as their eyes burned.
Those in the rebel-held Syrian enclave of Douma say they immediately knew their region had again been assaulted by chemical weapons -- and something stronger than just chlorine.
Ahmed Saleh, a 26-year-old volunteer with the Syrian Civil Defense -- also known as the White Helmets -- told Fox News that the suspect rockets landed in an area called Al Shohada Square around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
"There was a strong smell, and we entered one of the shelters to help the civilians there, but I couldn't go all the way because I felt the symptoms of suffocation, difficulty breathing; my tears began to fall profusely," he recalled. "We, paramedics, saw everyone in the shelter lying on the ground. I do not know whether they were dead or alive, but none of them were movin

What is clear is that Government control is patchy and kaotic, as is Russia's "influence".
However, that does not exempt Assad from culpability. Time for some more cruise missiles. In Damascus.

BBC - A military airport in Syria has come under missile attack, the country's state media has reported.
Its air defence system was activated, the reports said.
Syrian TV said loud explosions had been heard near the T4 airfield in the city of Homs in the early hours of Monday.
Details are still emerging and the reports have not been independently verified.

Its air defence system was activated, the reports said.
Syrian TV said loud explosions had been heard near the T4 airbase in the city of Homs in the early hours of Monday.
"Several missiles hit the Tayfur airport," Syria's state news agency SANA said. Details are still emerging and the reports have not been independently verified.
The reports come amid global alarm over a suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma.
US president Donald Trump branded Syria's President Assad an "animal" on Sunday, warning that he, along with allies Iran and Russia, had a "big price to pay".
Note: It is Syria saying they are under attack - so can't take it literally without more sourcing

Loud explosions have been heard near the T-4 airfield in the Syrian city of Homs, Syrian state television reports.
It said that the airfield was targeted with several missiles and that Syrian air defence was responding.
Several US officials said there was no truth to reports that the US military was behind the strikes on the Syrian government base.

While they have hit Syria to protect their interests, and can do damned near anything, the motive (gas use) here would not be their "thing" to act upon
Still, earliest reports I saw were low flying planes coming over Lebanon.
Syria says "missiles" ... not characteristic of Israeli attack ... and Syria says it shot 8 missiles down ... highly unlikely
dunno who or if it even happened for sure

And this also happens just as Trump was talking about withdrawing from Syria.
McCain says talk of leaving "emboldened Assad"
why attack in a way that would make the US stay and likely go after Assad?
Either Assad or someone in his military did this, and were incrdibly stupid, or its a false flag-- to try and get Trump to go after Assad like Obumbles did.
You are right to be skeptical.

I gather there is considerable doubt about who did this. As cc has opined, why the hell would Syria do such a dumb thing when all the cards are falling their way? It did nothing tactically, nor strategically, to affect the battle.
Also, the delivery was from a helicopter, dropping a barrel bomb. A crude device, when Syria had their chemical weapons loaded on missile delivery systems.
Something's not right here...

A possible strike against the Syrian government?Quote from: "Fashionista"
More specifically I'm suggesting what to me is a strong likelihood the "rebels" alone would do it just to make Assad look worse and to get the West to attack him ... if so, it works as most everyone does assume it was Assad
Further, it was on people alone same as before ... NOT a strategic attack that would help either side "directly" and strategically
Seems many think Syria is bad, rebels must be good. The Sunni rebels are Fundies. Had they won out everyday life would be far worse for Syrians. Assad ruled very secularly .. Sunni fundies would not.
There never was a good ending to this in the cards from the very start ... after it is over either Shia rule sunnis harshly or sunnis rule shia harshly

Take out Saddam, power vacuum, filled by ISIS and Al Qaeda (worse)
Take out Kaddaffi, power vacuum filled by Islamist power struggle (worse)
Take out Assad............

Easy answer. Rabid Fundy Sunni control .. Al Q, Al Nusra etc. etc.
And control unlike secularist Saddam - rather black religious control
Another point to what I wrote above about the only beneficiaries of gas being used. - Trump had just said days before that he wanted to pull out all advisers and intel people
Make it look like Assad used gas is a great way to keep the US engaged.
And remember, Syria is 90% Shia & has great help from Russia and Iran. I find it amazing that Sunnis could even make a fight of it ... much less keep it going for years. They are formidable .. and only because they are religion-driven, effectively led by Fundies and ruthless.

It only can get worse.
Example - NBC -
Four U.S. officials said Russia's signal scrambling has seriously affected military operations.
WASHINGTON — The Russian military has been jamming some U.S. military drones operating in the skies over Syria, seriously affecting American military operations, according to four U.S. officials.
The Russians began jamming some smaller U.S. drones several weeks ago, the officials said, after a series of suspected chemical weapons attacks on civilians in rebel-held eastern Ghouta. The Russian military was concerned the U.S. military would retaliate for the attacks and began jamming the GPS systems of drones operating in the area, the officials explained.
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., reacted to the news of Russian scrambling Tuesday by saying "Russia wants to undermine our interests at every turn."
"It is insane to think that Russia is anything but an adversary," said Sasse.

Probably core facilities for the complete elimination of Western backed ISIS, but not chemical warfare at all in nature.

"We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited chemical agents," he said.
When asked if the United States was preparing for more attacks on Syria, the General indicated that it was up to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to direct the next move.
"That will depend on Mr. Assad," he said.
Looks like a one strike punishment, much like last time. Not a protracted involvement.

The president revealed his decision to strike the Assad regime in Syria on Friday night, saying that it was in the interest of the United States to prevent the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
"We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited chemical agents," he said.General James Mattis described the military strike as a "one-time shot" which was roughly double the power of the 2017 strike in Syria.
When asked if the United States was preparing for more attacks on Syria, the General indicated that it was up to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to direct the next move.
"That will depend on Mr. Assad," he said.

None of you here know what's really going on. You're wasting your time babbling about your guesses. You don't really think that I believe you know what you're talking about, do you? You are not in the Trump administration and you're not running the American government so your posts are just insignificant drivel wasting forum space. Putting in your two cents? No. More like zero cents.
Information is disseminated and people try to make sense of it..
It's the same for just about any issue one can think of.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Pentagon leaders made clear that the strikes in Syria announced by President Trump tonight were over almost as soon as they began, with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford telling reporters "this wave of airstrikes is over" and Defense Secretary James Mattis calling them a "one-time shot."
"The targets that were struck and destroyed were specifically associated with the Syrian regime's chemical weapons program," Dunford said. "We also selected targets that would minimize the risk to innocent civilians."
Good

Ah, memes...the only truth you can rely on.
Of course, they have no facts...but its the internet, so who cares?
Actually that is factual. I read articles long ago about how we've been tricked into every war.

Articles by whom?
I'm pretty sure Pearl Harbour was a historic event, as was the sinking of the Lusitania. Gaddafi was a real person. They did not use the Gulf Of Tonkin as an excuse for the Vietnam War, because they were already at war.
Which is not to say the the US government is not beneath chicanery...far from it. But memes and articles are not historical fact.

I dont even remember where I read those articles. Was years ago. Oh wait! It was a documentary I seen! The video that awakened me to all the shit over 10 years ago! Think it was called "Wake up call - New World Order documentary 2008". Was 2 and a half hours I think, and I had to watch it twice.

Because its in a documentary, or on TV, or printed in a glossy magazine does not render it true. Behind all of that information is a journalist...and there is NO reason to believe that a journalist is MORE intelligent, informed or erudite than you. Their main mission is to make a buck by engaging your attention, and making you BELIEVE. That is their job, and some are extremely compelling and persuasive.
Never take a documentary or op ed on face value. EVERY journalistic "expose" has a purpose, and they are not always based on truth in achieving that purpose. Most are not.
I always ask myself this question. What was the motivation and intent of the author of this report? For example, what motivated a journalist to create a documentary that claims the moon landing was fake, despite the OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary. Or that the holocaust did not occur? Do you believe THOSE "documentaries"?
Blind acceptance of ANY journalism plays right into THEIR hands, not yours.

But you do know that you must watch, read or listen to ANY journalism, print or video, with a scrutinising mind, right?Quote from: "Bricktop"
Oh believe me I do. Especially these days. Its getting harder and harder to determine what is real and what isnt. What is disinformation, and what is true. But when you look into it harder, at various angles, with proof, from multiple sources, then you're allowed to believe what you feel is right and wrong. Some things may never be answered, some may never come to a final conclusion, but at least you've done your research at that point, and taken in what information you can on the matter. You become "aware" at least. Some folks listen to the lie too often, and the lie becomes real to them, with no way of changing their mind.
