France confirms Syria 'sarin use'

[[WS]Jacob]

There is no doubt Syria's government has used sarin during the country's crisis, says France's foreign minister.

Laurent Fabius said lab tests in Paris confirmed numerous uses of the nerve agent, adding that those who resort to chemical weapons must be punished. But he did not specify where or when the agent had been deployed; the White House has said more proof was needed.

Earlier, the UN said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe chemical weapons had been used. In a new report, the UN commission of inquiry on Syria also urged foreign powers not to increase the availability of arms in Syria. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon described the atrocities listed in the report - which details evidence of fresh suspected massacres, sieges and violations of children's rights - as "sickening and staggering", said his spokesman.

Children have been taken hostage, forced to watch torture and even participate in beheadings, says the report. Others have been killed while fighting in the two-year uprising against President Bashar Assad's regime that the UN says has left at least 80,000 people dead.

To use a nerve controlling agent which can kill you in a matter of seconds is completely wrong and I can see that this is the start of huge troubles for Syria.

Some people seriously lack any sympathy or care for innocent peoples lives when they start playing with things like sarin.

Lol, the white house said more proof was needed? If it was them instead of France, they would be going in guns blazing by now. :roll:

I think it's obvious seen as the country is a dictatorship and the government does what it wants.

It is obvious, I'm just saying that if the US had gotten this proof, and not France, they would have already been arriving at Syria's beaches, though they are already in the area, as are many countries, they may want to look out for Russia though. :roll:

If the US wanted to invade syria, dont you think there would be Sarin all over the country by now?

Yeh I was backing up your point back up there

Not really seen as they would be sanctioned by the UN. Heavily.

On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it for the CIA to smuggle in a truck full of Sarin into Syria?

Plus even if they dont actually send out a mass infection, they could easily fake it by saying they found sarin, France didnt exactly give details yet either, if the US wants they may just fake a Sarin attack(And if the US wants allies,both the rebels and the regime wont have problems faking the attack, since the other side gets pummeled, depends on whose side the US takes) and go into Syria. Once they are into Syria it would be easy as hell to plant evidence for chemical weapons,Wouldnt be very hard to plant a few dead bodies in there either, get the 'humane' community on their side..

So you are saying this is by the American government?

[Huntsman]

Pfft, simple as that - if US would want to use Sarin in Syria, they simply would, and UN would not do shit about it. Open your eyes gentlemen, organisations such as NATO and UN is a simple American Puppet

Yes the main HQs are in the US but there's no Americans who have top positions in the United Nations.

Haha, no.

Exactly, people seem to think that because the UN is based in the US, it's controlled by the US, where else could the HQ be stuck? Some kind of neutral global territory? Stick it in any other country, and then everyone will be saying that country controls the UN.

[Huntsman]

Like it matters.. It doesnt, really..

You can claim whatever you want but if you don't have evidence to back it up then they're just thoughts.
