[url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/22/us-syria-usa-chlorine-idUSBREA3K19420140422[/url] [quote](Reuters) - The United States has indications that a toxic chemical, probably chlorine, was used in Syria this month and is examining whether the Syrian government was responsible, the U.S. State Department said on Monday. "We have indications of the use of a toxic industrial chemical" in the town of Kfar Zeita, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, referring to a rebel-held area. "We are examining allegations that the government was responsible," she told a regular news briefing. "Obviously there needs to be an investigation of what's happened here."[/quote] this is all so fucked up first sarin now chlorine

Looks like syria will get invaded. Indications are enough, right? [editline]22nd April 2014[/editline] Oh, sorry, I thought there were [B]RUMORS[/B] about chemical weaponry my bad

My bet would be one of the rebel groups, really. I think the Assad Regime is smart enough not to involve the US/and or NATO.

Fuckin' up their community pools.

I thought the last time chlorine was used as a weapon was during the 1st world war.

Nothing is going to happen. NATO will not say a word unless Turkey is invaded, the UN has been proven to be the most useless expenditure in the history of man, and above all else: No one wants another fucking war.

its ok, since the U.S. also has indications that russia was involved in the recent crimean crisis, and that is completely false, so the U.S. is false, and if the U.N. wants to go see the people themselves, they are free to do so as long as they agree that nothing happened and that the rebels are really just a group of terrorists but since russia is not always right, more gas happens, and more of nothing happens as well.

Thats how it was designed. The UNSC is designed to keep the powerful in power, while being unhelpful to the weaker nations.

[QUOTE=Robman8908;44610259]Fuckin' up their community pools.[/QUOTE] Honestly you would be surprised. My dad is stupid and had a container that didn't seal properly so moisture got into it. I opened it and by accident breathed in (near it). That shit knocked me on my ass so fast and I couldn't stop coughing and felt really sick the rest of the day, almost went to the hospital. Don't ever underestimate that stuff in concentration.

[QUOTE=Pantz Master;44610459]So what I get from this is that you intentionally sniffed chlorine gas.[/QUOTE] No, what you should get from that is my father is an idiot and didn't seal a chlorine tablet container properly. I won't even get near chlorine tablets anymore.

this is why you should always have a lifeguard on duty

Well considering that the Syrian government destroyed their chemical weapons stockpiles and the rebels got busted from using sarin gas before it probably wasn't the government. Of course an international team of UN investigators will go and check it eventually.

Assad wouldn't even need to use them at this point. The army is winning and the only ones that are in a desperate situation to use chemical weapons are the rebels.

Useful for clearing out rebel tunnels.
