#1 "He approved a (future) Gas Attack..." Really? After the sterling 100% Accuracy our intrepid Sooper-Dooper Spooks have been achieving lately you must understand my hesitancy in getting excited.

#4 +1 Up Vote for (#2)! Not a Snark of the Day candidate, but that is the sort of (Bizarre) AgitProp the ~~Soviets~~ Russians have been peddling ...

#5 ...I remember reading about Tito *supposedly* having a policy of conducting raids in area pacified by the Germans. He could blow stuff up for propaganda, the locals would be blamed for it (their hostages shot!), and the locals would join the Resistance by vendetta raiding. Win-Win-Win, for Tito at least. Consider how many factions there are in the area the thought that one of them would poison another to blame the Syrians -- not implausible at all...
