Adding a couple of paras to the previous posts by Racedo and TEEJ:

All this footage above shows that syrian military and correspondents freely walk through all the facilities totally destroyed by the strike, including the ammunition and bomb/missile storage (blown up) shortly after the strike happened.
If there were chemical weapons there, nobody would do so without special suits. Thus, obviously there were no such stuff there. While the main reason for the strike, as it was announced, was to destroy that particular site where the Assad's planes with chemical bombs operated from
Don't you think all this sounds a bit inconsistent?

By the way, in one of the above videos a long-beard guy in a unform says that obviously it was the "Nusra front" (part or associate of Al-Qaeda) who blew up the chemicals and then staged all this tragic show in order to trigger the coalition strike in just a day or two, without any real investigation.


And again, comparing with Iraq: it took about a week after the coalition strike killed 200-300 civilians (some 3 weeks ago) for the media to start asking the DoD and State dept officials who, in turn, were muttering something like "it looks like we might be involved", "we will investigate", "it was not our fault", etc. Here in Syria, even no attempt to investigate. Al-Qaeda seems to be a trustworthy source of information.


No doubt Assad is a bad guy and should be taken away. But at least the current regime is secular and there is a common groud to talk, without "holy wars" and other religious stuff. Why not to take away first all those various jihadists and then replace this bloody Assad?
