Can someone post a link to Fisk? Tried to find the article to which you both refer, but am mired in a lot of alt news sites instead.

Zoron, Amazing work.  Well done.  MizMargo, both  Grace and Kim posted links to Robert Fisk above.

Thanks, Jeanne -- don't know how I missed those. I took a look at both sites and I'm not sure about the Independent article, but an fyi, as a media teacher, I wouldn't source to Mint Press News. Meets none of the standard fact-checking journalistic criteria.

Hi, the post, on the site, is about Robert Fisk. he is a very well known UK journalist, and international prize winner for his work. So either he is being misquoted or faked, or he is being reported correctly.

However, it is curious that he overlaps with me, and by only about a 12-hour delay behind me. I did get a strong image when I scanned. am now waiting for a follow up from he International inspectors. We shall see what happens. Interesting.ButI stand by my assertion of no NERVE gas.

Zoron -- I'm not questioning your vision at all. I'm very well-aware of the history of US government deception to get us into war -- the Spanish-American War via the yellow journalism of Hearst regarding the USS Maine explosion, the false reports of attacks that led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that pushed our military into Vietnam, and the WMD scares that enabled our invasion of Iraq. I put nothing past our government. It just hurts anyone's case to cite unverified news sources, so we should all be extra careful these days. Hopefully, the truth about Syria comes out before we launch another war -- this time with Iran and Russia.

So it seems that the so-called "Gas attack" was not a gas attack at all, let alone a nerve gas attack.

Someone was not telling the truth here. I  believe Robert Fisk, as I know him personally, and he is a man of honor.

Hi mizmargo., I never thought that you doubted me. I did check the original, in the Independent, not the other site. its clearly true. I actually know Robert Fiske. he is a man of very high honor.
