      The New York Times, I'm still a bit confused, can you explain again how the lattice imprint came to be left on the canister? Surely that would only occur if the canister was left resting on the latticework for a period of time, not if it passed through it at great speed. That would just leave random scratch marks, especially if the canister was surrounded by the finned framework to make it drop vertically, as you pointed out.

    • @DrRiq
      @DrRiq 6 лет назад +7

      Champion N3C 1) no bomb drops completely vertically, and 2) the latticework fell asymmetrically, and crumpled against the side of the cylinder. This is not hard to physically imagine

      15 pages OMITTED from the OPCW report - indicating the canisters have a higher chance of being placed there MANUALLY and not dropped by aircraft/helicopter. Very likely these were planted. Chlorine traces were also diluted and not as concentrated as conventional chlorine weapons - either they are old or not chlorine weapons at all. The 'rebels' and ISIS have also been found to use chemical weapons and may have likely planted or used these themselves either to frame the Syrian government or other reasons. The Assad Regime is by no standards a hallmark of human rights defenders but this is the same propaganda and lies as seen throughout all US intervention - Iraq anyone?. The NYT is one of the biggest cooperators of the CIA and support the military industrial complex agenda.

Hes saying the terrorists attacked their own people, or it was an accident. Either way, hes implying that it was the terrorists' weapon. This is actually a very likely scenario; that they either accidentally released the gas as they were moving it, or more likely, that an airstrike released it. This happened several times in Desert Storm, where we bombed bunkers that had chemical weapons stored in them.

      @@virvisquevir3320 the evidence presented in this video is pretty conclusive, and it can't be just dismissed by saying "but it doesn't make sense". Unless you believe the rebels somehow managed to get their hands on a fake Syrian helicopter to launch a false flag. Plus the use of chemical weapons is only a small fraction of the war crimes that the regime has committed. I don't see any truthers online trying to debunk the reports of Assad's troops committing mass rapes.

    I'm wondering why Assad is still in power and why doesn't the international community do something about his crimes.

      Be sure that if it was 100% verified that he dropped the chemical bombs, he would have been hanged like Saddam and why are you talking like you know the actual truth? Noone in these comments know

    José Bustani is the first director of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He was ousted because of US pressure in 2002, after he wanted the organization to visit Saddam's Iraq to find chemical weapons. The US wanted to avoid such thing, as the WMDs excuse was used to unilateraly invade the country 1 year later.
    He raised doubts about Douma.
