The Syrian Conflict Thread

Source: https://www.libertarianinstitute.org/scotthortonshow/4617-philip-giraldi-says-ic-military-doubt-assad-gas-narrative/
Philip Giraldi, former CIA officer and Director of the Council for the National Interest, says that “military and intelligence personnel,” “intimately familiar” with the intelligence, say that the narrative that Assad or Russia did it is a “sham,” instead endorsing the Russian narrative that Assad’s forces had bombed a storage facility. Giraldi’s intelligence sources are “astonished” about the government and media narrative and are considering going public out of concern over the danger of worse war there. Giraldi also observes that the Assad regime had no motive to do such a thing at this time.

Unless they are planning to use nukes that's an Obama red line. They will have their military dismantled within a few weeks.

Good example of how to post rubbish without even blushing when you are Putin's carapus. Google Carapus to get the general idea.

Eh... Nothing on Al Jazeera's website or Twitter feed, and those videos don't show Al Jazeera coverage...

Assad has used it before, though...

US used WP in Fallujah. Gonna be a hard sell attacking Assad for that while the Russians are blustering about striking a more proactive defensive posture to protect their 'ally'.
 
There is a legitimate use for white phosphorus on the battle field, namely illumination. As long as Assad isn't using it on cities, there is no problem.

Edit: That first video doesn't look like white phosphorus.
