What if Assad ordered conventional strikes and that ignited Rebel Chemical Weapons [View all] dkf Aug 2013 OP

What other possibilities are plausible to you? Renew Deal Aug 2013 #1

There are MANY other possibilities which is why we need PROOF. dkf Aug 2013 #13

Then the rebels would be in the wrong. Motown_Johnny Aug 2013 #2

We don't know the reality. That's the point. dkf Aug 2013 #14

Ignite Sarin? rdharma Aug 2013 #3

We may soon know if sarin was even used (regardless of by whom). David__77 Aug 2013 #6

There are so many possibilities. David__77 Aug 2013 #4

How would you account for the jet fighters' napalm-like dump on the playground? nt pnwmom Aug 2013 #5

I put a link to that video in Comment #18 n/t Tx4obama Aug 2013 #20

Thanks! nt pnwmom Aug 2013 #27

Do you have any proof of any kind? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #7

Speculation of the sort of thing we need to disprove prior to attacking. dkf Aug 2013 #8

OK. So you are engaging in wild speculation Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #34

You're serious? Benton D Struckcheon Aug 2013 #9

It it's possible "mishandled" CWs caused it why isn't it possible dkf Aug 2013 #11

Sarin doesn't ignite, Benton D Struckcheon Aug 2013 #35

Oh are you arguing semantics? dkf Aug 2013 #38

I give up. Reread my post, and then read the stuff at the link. Or not. Your choice. n/t Benton D Struckcheon Aug 2013 #39

please do not think outside the chosen narrative lol nt msongs Aug 2013 #10

It's a moot point. The death toll from US strikes will rival the toll from the chem strike. Cooley Hurd Aug 2013 #12

Yeah, killing everyone Assad wants killed apparently. dkf Aug 2013 #16

What if a frog had wings? TroglodyteScholar Aug 2013 #15

For a scholar, you're deaf to history.... Cooley Hurd Aug 2013 #22

But for a troglodyte, I'm remarkably observant. TroglodyteScholar Aug 2013 #44

Well played! Cooley Hurd Aug 2013 #45

No worries TroglodyteScholar Aug 2013 #48

why are the rebels in control of chemical weapons? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2013 #17

From Saudi Arabia/Prince Bandar. dkf Aug 2013 #19

and we know this to be a fact? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2013 #23

We have reports...but as to fact that isn't something the US is interested dkf Aug 2013 #25

There is absolutely NO evidence that the rebels have chemical weapons. n/t Tx4obama Aug 2013 #30

Thank you.... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2013 #33

Maybe that's because we aren't interested in finding out of its true. dkf Aug 2013 #40

If you're talking about the articles from the examiner.com and the mintpressnews ... Tx4obama Aug 2013 #41

The attack with the napalm type chemical that BURNT folks was dropped from a FIGHTER JET Tx4obama Aug 2013 #18

Napalm is not classified as an outlawed chemical weapon. dkf Aug 2013 #24

The premise of the OP was that the napalm type chemicals set off the chemical weapons... Cooley Hurd Aug 2013 #26

No. Two different events in two different places. One couldn't have set off the other. n/t Tx4obama Aug 2013 #28

I'm not agreeing with the OP... Cooley Hurd Aug 2013 #29

I'm not sure what was confusing. Tx4obama Aug 2013 #32

Yes, by US in Falluja. You are absolutely correct. According to US it's not a banned chemical weapon idwiyo Aug 2013 #31

I am talking about the napalm type chemical missile that was dropped in SYRIA Tx4obama Aug 2013 #37

So why are you bringing it up? dkf Aug 2013 #42

Because all of those kids and people that got burnt all over their bodies are just as important. n/t Tx4obama Aug 2013 #43

And I am talking about US that did not sign Protocol III of the CCW and has stockpile of Napalm B. idwiyo Aug 2013 #46

Ask why would Assad attack a NATO country Turkey with rockets too.... Historic NY Aug 2013 #21

Yes, its one of several plausible theories. HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #36

It is possible. Arctic Dave Aug 2013 #47
