Subject: RE: BS: Did CIA lunch the Sarin missile in Syria
The updte was the fact that sales of the saran chemical have been going on for six years, the last sale was de-licensed - the earlier ones took plave therefore the recent gas attack was almosst certainly carried out using BRITISH SUPPLIED COMPONENTS
The fact that these components can be used in the manufacure of toothpase is totally irrelevant - it was sold to country with a long record of human rights abuses and which now will be possibly indited for war crimes - making Britain a full and knowing accomplice in those crimes.
If you are going to continue defending implication in War Crimes - make a better job of it - you claim to be a aptriot - TRY HARDER You Pratt

FROM THIS MORNINGS TIMES

WE WOULD RATHER BE GASSED THAN STARVED, SAYS DOCTOR
Syria
Tom Coghlan, Roger Boyes
Thousands of Syrians trapped in the city of Homs for 500 days without power or food supplies are being starved out by the Assad regime, a trapped doctor said yesterday.
"Doctor M" told The Times that being gassed to death would be a more preferable end than the slow misery being inflicted on the city in what has been compared to the siege of Stalingrad.
"Sick people here do not die due to [lack of] medical treatment but because of hunger and severe malnutrition, unhealed wounds, severe lack of food and absence of basic human necessi¬ties," he said via a Skype connection.
The doctor, who declined to be identi¬fied for his own safety, added: "All nego¬tiations with the regime failed to give any corridor to get the families out. We are trying to bring out the injured. We have 3,000 people and 1,000 are in¬jured, many women and children."
Details of the siege of Homs have emerged as the Alawite regime under President Assad appears to be winning its two-year war against rebel fighters and cementing its hold on power thanks to the Russian-proposed chemi¬cal weapons decommissioning plan. Alawites are an offshoot of the Shia branch of Islam.
The intensity of fighting around the city indicates the strategic importance of the town. Once the Government re¬takes control of Homs, it will control an arc of territory from the Jordanian border up to the Mediterranean coast.
