Have anyone beside the US confirms that there are usage of chemical weapons over there? If it's only the US, then I'm pretty sure those are the people that said there were WMD over in Iraq..

That's a good example, boys and girls, why you don't look for news in random youtube videos (referring to promiseme's post). - they are full of flat out verifiable lies. For example consider the claim that "the previous UN inspection team found that rebels used chemical weapons" (02.35) There was no earlier UN inspection team, and there is no UN report that the rebels used chemical weapons. And this is easily verified as you can check for UN reports.

I stopped soon after when he was offering a conspiracy theory regarding the FED. Go read verified news sources which fact check their claims. The reason why this guy isn't more well known is not that he's shunned by main stream media or whatnot, it's because he is full of shit.

there was a previous inspection team back in april and early may which, according to one investigator had "strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof" that the rebels used sarin gas. i have posted this 5-6 times and it was reported on in msm as well.

Do you mean the Carlo del Ponte utterance? That's a) not a report, b) not a UN inspection.

How do you know they've been trained in Russia? And it's not that much, they just defaced a website. To be honest, before SEA i never imagined syria has a decent cyber war department. But if they really do, and it's not just some kids pretending, then they could deal way more damage. It may be the first conflict in which the cyberwarfare is used.

Iranian ex president says Syria government behind chemical attack
Former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said the Syrian government, a strong ally of Tehran, had carried out chemical weapons attacks against its own people, the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency reported on Sunday.

"The people have been the target of chemical attacks by their own government and now they must also wait for an attack by foreigners," Rafsanjani said, according to ILNA. "The people of Syria have seen much damage in these two years."

Lavrov brushes aside Western evidence suggesting that Syrian regime was behind chemical attack
The AP new agency reports on Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov's latest rejection of western intelligence against the Assad regime:

Evidence of alleged chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime presented to Moscow by the US and its allies is "absolutely unconvincing", Russia's foreign minister said.

Lavrov said: there was nothing specific there, no geographic coordinates, no names, no proof that the tests were carried out by the professionals."

He did not describe the tests further. (AJE notes: although the US secretary of State, John Kerry, did say the US had field and blood evidence that sarin was used in the attack on August 21)

Lavrov brushed aside Western evidence of an alleged Syrian regime role. Russia, along with China and Iran, has staunchly backed Assad throughout the conflict.

"What our American, British and French partners showed us in the past and have showed just recently is absolutely unconvincing," Lavrov said at Russia's top diplomatic school. "And when you ask for more detailed proof they say all of this is classified so we cannot show this to you."
