The first journalist ,Robert Fisk has arrived in Duma, he's spoken to the doctor on the video who is treating the children, and the doctor has said there was no chemical attack, he was treating the children for dust inhalation.

The first journalist ,Robert Fisk has arrived in Duma, he's spoken to the doctor on the video who is treating the children, and the doctor has said there was no chemical attack, he was treating the children for dust inhalation.

Quote from Fisk's report
"it is worth observing that he is by his own admission not an eyewitness himself and, as he speaks good English, he refers twice to the jihadi gunmen of Jaish el-Islam [the Army of Islam] in Douma as “terrorists” – the regime’s word for their enemies, and a term used by many people across Syria"
So even Fisk isn't taking it at face value, and it could easily be part of the Syrian/Russian disinformation campaign.

From his report: (we covered this last night)

As Dr Assim Rahaibani announces this extraordinary conclusion, it is worth observing that he is by his own admission not an eyewitness himself and, as he speaks good English, he refers twice to the jihadi gunmen of Jaish el-Islam [the Army of Islam] in Douma as “terrorists” – the regime’s word for their enemies, and a term used by many people across Syria. Am I hearing this right? Which version of events are we to believe?

France, meanwhile, has said it has “proof” chemical weapons were used, and US media have quoted sources saying urine and blood tests showed this too. The WHO has said its partners on the ground treated 500 patients “exhibiting signs and symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals”.

At the same time, inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) are currently blocked from coming here to the site of the alleged gas attack themselves, ostensibly because they lacked the correct UN permits.

Looks like the OPCW have arrived in Douma a day earlier than expected. Presumably the Russians and Syrians finished removing the evidence ahead of schedule.

RT?

Must be true then lol

All media is corrupt to a degree I don't trust any of them whichever side they lean so all we can do is look at history and form an opinion based on evidence and historical events such as the lack of WMD, Vietnam, Iraq war 1 etc

Robert Fisk is in my experience a most trustworthy reporter who tells his readers the facts as he sees them regardless of spin from regeigms and has lived and reported and commented on the Middle East for decades.

Yep and he started the piece by saying that the doctor wasn’t a witness and is pro Assad.

Do you dig or not? I have a feeling that may be important.

It’s seems that everyone apart from Assad used chemical weapons on Syrians and Assad himself didn’t even know it happened. You gotta feel sorry him poor blokes being persecuted by all and sundry. Latest news is several inspectors were seen on a grassy knoll according to RT and Assads latest blog on you tube.
