Chemical weapons watchdog: inspectors have samples from Douma

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A team of inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited a site in Douma, Syria on Saturday to collect samples as it tries to determine whether such weapons were used there on April 7, the agency said.

 

In a statement, the OPCW said it would now evaluate and consider whether the team needs to make a second visit to Douma.

 

Samples will be transported back to the Netherlands and onward to the organisation's network of designated labs for analysis.

 

Based on the analysis of the sample results as well other information and materials collected by the team, the mission would compile a report and submit it to the organisation's member states, the statement said.

 

The OPCW has been investigating use of toxic chemicals in Syria's civil war since 2014. Inspectors had been trying to reach Douma for several days but were delayed after an advance security detail was fired upon on April 17.

 

The OPCW team will attempt to determine whether chemical weapons were used and if so, which. It is not mandated to conclude which side in the conflict used them.

Dear OPCW, It was dust. Any banned chemicals you find were sprinkled on the ground by the white helmets. 

 

A paramedic in the intense care unit told Xinhua that at that night when the conflict was raging, they received several patients with allergies from the dust in the air in Douma

Another waste of time, that's already been decided by 3 idiots without evidence.

When I call another an idiot, it is usually my reflection in the mirror.

Why did it take them so long to do this? Intrepid CNN reporters have already been there in Douma, and thanks to their expertise the female reporter put her nose to one of the backpacks left after the "chemical attack" to see if she could detect the whiff of chemical weapons.

 

 Does it pass the sniff test?!?

Anyone who still can't see through all these shenanigans is either a fool or still desperately trying to toe the party line.

Now , unfortunately,  after all the delays this is an exercise in futility.

 

If the OPCW find no evidence of any chemical warfare agents - May  et al will simple claim that the Russians have cleaned up the place beforehand.

Yet the same people claim it will take months to clean up Salisbury after an infinitesmally smaller chemical incident.

 as said "an exercise in futility" If they find any it will be inconclusive who used it, if they don't  it will be said that it was cleaned up or was of the kind that decipitated by now .

 

The whole incident is simple to explain. Trump in one of his stupid Twits said that he was getting out of Syria soon, and someone else said , No you are not!!

He said the same thing last year, and there followed the Sarin attack in Idlib province, which provoked last year's missile strikes. By the way, Jame Mattis has since admitted that there is no evidence that it was the Syrian government that used Sarin:

Though the UN has strong suspicions that Syrian rebels have used Sarin:

This is a must watch - Carla Ortiz is very credible and provides real evidence of much of what has been known or suspected by the alt media for some time

The world waits for the evidence that blasting off a zillion dollars of cruise missiles into the desert in some form of bizarre video game has a rational explanation.

 

It will be waiting for a long time.

Here's some, which has come very quickly. Unfortunately for our Great Leaders, it points in the 'wrong' direction:

It's worth having a look at Carla Ortiz' Twitter account. There is real exposure of the head choppers' obscene behaviour and their White Helmets oppos' shenanigans. There's a recent one with two photos provided by the White Helmets of children killed in two different chemical attacks. Unfortunately, eight of the children in both photos are the same.
