    There's no evidence that was a deliberate strike by the Syrian government.

    Actually, experts across the globe are rejecting the Syrian government theory. There's been no actual evidence to support the Assad theory.

    Turkey’s government said Thursday that initial findings suggest it was sarin nerve agent -- which is banned by international convention and considered a war crime.
    The chief suspect is the Syrian regime -- in part because the target was in a rebel-controlled area that’s been pummeled with airstrikes by the regime and its ally Russia.

    Witnesses in Khan Sheikhoun, a town in the Idlib province, say the chemicals were dropped on them from the air. The explanation for this atrocity given by Russia and the Syrian regime is that a conventional regime airstrike hit a chemical weapons facility run by rebel forces. But a conventional strike, experts say, would destroy chemicals -- not disperse them. In addition, it wouldn’t produce harrowing scenes that have been broadcast around the world: People with no visible wounds, foaming at the mouth and suffocating to death.

    I have found no one claiming it was not Assad other than Assad, Iran, Russia, and now you. Do you have a link to a real source of that theory?

    Nobody is suggesting that nobody died. The evidence is pointing to a chemical weapons stash being destroyed, leading to those deaths.

    Incorrect...

    Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, suggested in an interview broadcast on Thursday that social media evidence of a deadly chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town in northern Syria last week was fake. The images that shocked the world, he said, were most likely of “a play,” staged by Islamist rebels affiliated with both Al Qaeda and the United States.
    snip

    “We don’t know if the whole pictures or video that we’ve been seeing are true, or fabricated,” the Syrian president insisted.
    https://theintercept.com/2017/04/13/...united-states/

    We don’t know whether those dead children were killed in Khan Sheikhoun,” Mr. Assad told Agence France-Presse in the television interview from Damascus, which was recorded on Wednesday. “Were they dead at all?”
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/13/w...deo-faked.html

    So... we have a couple of narratives by both the Russians and Syria...

    A: That the whole thing was a fake

    And/or

    B: That they hit a chemical depot owned by AQ

    Zero evidence of course supporting either of those approaches mind you...

    If Syria has the capability to make bug spray, it can make sarin. It is the same thing.

    They could have turned over what they had and made more- no problem.

    I have friends and cousins in Aleppo ~ the Syrian People like/love Assad he is not gassing or bombing the Syrian People and never has ~ I hope President Trump sees the truth and doesn't follow the line of killing the Syrian People to save them ```Not everyone liked him(Assad) over others ~ until Syria was attacked and Terrorists began occupying Syrian towns and villages ~ the Syrians today are fighting for their country ~ their families and their lives ~ with the help of Russia ~ Turkey and Israel are hungry for Syrian land ~ both the U.S. and Israel bomb Syrian army positions from time to time ```

    Bashar Al Assad is a good man ~ and Eye Doctor ~ thrust into politics ~ leading a country that is being attacked by paid muslim Killers ~ there are no moderate muslim killers ```
