| #11 "Turkey . . . [destroyed] a chemical warfare facility in . . . Syria" They may have destroyed the building, but not until they stole all the chemical warfare stuff first. |

| #10 Ulerert Ebbavith7568, your article describes what was found in Iraq, the New York Times finally admitting in 2014 what they’d adamantly been denying — and we’d been collecting reports on here at Rantburg — since 2004 or thereabouts. This is Syria. |

| #7 When Eliot Higgins of Bellingcat (or anyone from Bellingcat for that matter), the NYTimes, and any global circulated mag (say the Economic Times), when they all repeat the same press release, "chemical warfare facility... 13 kilometres south of Aleppo" but none can cite the name of the facility (Bellingcat should be able to open source its name) - when I hear the same narrative repeated over and over in transnationalist rags/orgs, it triggers a confirmational bias and I have to call BS. |

| #4 When I was in college some company (Dupont, Monsanto?) was running an ad that said "Without chemicals, life itself would be impossible." We yukked it up saying that while lining up the weekend's recreations. |
