so supposedly, they weren't the result of Al-Assad...what do you think of this?

Someone posted the very first of these "interviews" a few days ago. As far as I can tell, they originate with "The Voice of Russia." Aside from being a relatively unknown news source (a while back they were the premiere source for Soviet propaganda, so I automatically mistrust the name...) there was a statement that was edited out in the latest batch. The father who talks about his kids hauling the stuff around. In the original story, he talks about them hauling 2 types of material around. One was the devices in the tubes, and the other was "Gas Bottles" like oxygen. Its the second one that confuses the shit outta me. Chemical weapons are in powder, liquid or gel form. They are almost never stored as a gas like oxygen. For one, its too hard to deploy, and there is no way to get it concentrated enough to be dangerous, unless in a sealed gas chamber. I'd say that I'm not the only one to notice this, as the later iterations of the interview edit this out. I don't know, this smells fake to me.

I'm sure rebels managed to get a hold of Sarin.

Wow very source reliable

I smell centrifuge.

This story is changing. When it was originally on 'The Voice if Russia' the description of what containers they were in was different. Initially he said they were in a "gas bottle." Obviously someone is now editing out the parts that make no sense. (Chemical weapons aren't usually stored in a gas bottle, like oxygen. They are normally a liquid or gel.) Something fishy is with this report. First it was inaccurate, now it's being edited.

Lol. If true then this would be an embarrassing blow to Obama. This is why we wait and gather all information first before pointing the finger at somebody.

"Oops! Sorry, guys, I dropped the Sarin again! Hopefully it didn't lea-"
-
While I'm not denying that the rebels have obtained chemical weapons, I don't find this article to be credible--especially if this is not being reported on bigger, mainstream news networks.
-
Hmm untrustworthy article is untrustworthy :/
-
News reports are so annoying when it comes to what's going on in a combat zone, nothing beats going to see for yourself.
-
I have a feeling both sides are using the gas, but the rebels are less secretive about it.
-
I'm skeptical. The article is 3 days old. Why havnt I heard of this from CNN or Al Jazeera?
-
Because that's such a reliable source. "chemical attacks were rebel accidents". Seriously? Who the fuck is going to believe that?
-
Any more sources to clarify this?
-
Probably. Chances are they both have been using it, but the recent one is the first one with significant casualties in a single event.
