About the best we could offer in response would be Leicester, and in the right light even Leicester doesn't look that bad
Is this a question seriously being asked as a consequence of the West's military strikes on Syria? Anyone asking that question really needs to attend some remedial science classesrowan wrote: 2) Why are there not dead people from the chemicals thus dispersed for a thousand miles ( including in Israel)?[/i]
Isn't he implying that if the self-appointed world cops had bombed chemical weapons factories it should have ignited those notoriously volatile chemicals, thereby causing a massive human catastrophe? There is a theory that the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian army were in fact a result of their own strikes on terrorist chemical weapons plants they were unaware of.Digby wrote:Is this a question seriously being asked as a consequence of the West's military strikes on Syria?

He does indeed seem to be implying that, and that alongside the notion the attacks blamed on the Syrian army are the result of strikes on some of Syria's own chemical weapons plants is an inference and/or theory put forward out of profound ignorance.rowan wrote:Isn't he implying that if the self-appointed world cops had bombed chemical weapons factories it should have ignited those notoriously volatile chemicals, thereby causing a massive human catastrophe?

If you're honestly trying to present the treatment of the LGBT community in Russia to "not being allowed to donate blood" as some sort of equivalent scenario, you're either arguing in horrendously bad faith, or you're the stupidest motherfucker on the planet.Zhivago wrote:Гомосексуалисты нельзя в США быть донорами крови.

Does he mention meeting the British Special Forces Amateur Dramtics Corps who were there to fabricate a CW attack?rowan wrote:& Fisk, author of the seminal history of the modern Middle East The Great War for Civilisation and countless other books, hasn't exactly been Assad's biggest cheerleader during this conflict either, despite condemning the foreign and terrorist elements involved in it:
This seems pretty significant. Veteran and highly respected Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk visited the hospital where the victims of last week's Douma "chemical weapons" attack were filmed – the attack that was used as a justification for the air strikes by the US, UK and France on Syria.
Fisk says the senior doctor there told him the victims had *not* been gassed. They were suffering from inhalation of dust and debris after a bombing attack. They were doused down when someone created alarm by shouting out "Gas!".
This is a short preview clip of the interview on Irish radio station Spirit. The full interview is due to be broadcast tomorrow. Presumably, Fisk will be writing more on this soon for the Independent newspaper.

Full report hasn't been released yet. But let's remember the permanent members of the UN security council (with NATO & EU members plus Kuwait amounting to almost half) voted down Russia's resolution to establish whether there had even been a chemical weapons attack. Now one of the foremost authorities on the region in the English language is casting serious doubt on the fact.

No, I believe they're underway already. They were delayed by the US-led strikes on the facilities they are apparently on their way to investigate, so I'm not sure what they'll find among the rubble.canta_brian wrote:Full report hasn't been released yet.

Current investigation unable to enter Douma because the Assad regime and Russian forces are stopping them.
