Yea, the militants that are waiting with the videos of children being hosed down for the plains dropping bombs on the last terrorist controlled holdout. Then when the bomb drops, they bring in their equipment, drag out a few bodies and pose them. From there it's time to give contacts their coordinates so the drones recording in the area have footage confirming Syrian plane dropping bomb at that time and place. Now is the time they can pin another metal on the White helmets for the viewers at home and reward them handsomely. It's sloppy evidence but if things move along quickly, your media is on your side and the war machine moves in, nobody will figure it out until after the war has done its deed. People won't just assume the weapons of mass destruction are there anymore. They remember Iraq. Trump was sure quick to remind the Bush legacy during his campaign. So a few false flag attacks will do the trick so long as the MSM keeps their end of the deal. "Remember Iraq."
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States is aware that some kind of chemical was used in the alleged attack in the Syrian city of Douma, but is not sure at present what kind of substance it was, the US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
"We do know that some sort of a substance was used," Nauert told reporters. "A chemical was used, we’re just not sure at this point today exactly what was used."
Nauert explained the United States will rely on information collected by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) regarding the alleged chemical attack, but said the US government also has its own mechanisms to investigate the incident.
On Saturday, several media outlets, citing Syrian militants, accused the Syrian government of carrying out a chemical weapons attack in Duma, located some ten kilometers northeast of the capital Damascus.
Trump blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad for the incident, but said Russia and Iran were also responsible because they support the Syrian government. On Monday, Trump said his administration would make a major decision within the next 24 to 48 hours on what the US response will be.
The Russian reconciliation center for Syria on Sunday categorically refuted the media reports that the Syrian military dropped a chlorine-filled bomb on Duma. The Russian Foreign Ministry said such erroneous information aims to cover the actions of terrorists and justify possible external military intervention in Syria.
