MIT expert claims latest chemical weapons attack in Syria was staged
Theodore Postol of MIT says there is no concrete evidence linking Assad to the attack.
By Tareq Haddad
Updated April 18, 2017 14:02 BST
A leading weapons academic has claimed that the Khan Sheikhoun nerve agent attack in Syria was staged, raising questions about who was responsible.
Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), issued a series of three reports in response to the White House's finding that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.
He concluded that the US government's report does not provide any "concrete" evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said: "I have reviewed the [White House's] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.
"In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.
"This conclusion is based on an assumption made by the White House when it cited the source of the sarin release and the photographs of that source. My own assessment is that the source was very likely tampered with or staged, so no serious conclusion could be made from the photographs cited by the White House."
The image Postol refers to is that of a crater containing a shell inside, which is said to have contained the sarin gas.
His analysis of the shell suggests that it could not have been dropped from an airplane as the damage of the casing is inconsistent from an aerial explosion. Instead, Postol said it was more likely that an explosive charge was laid upon the shell containing sarin, before being detonated.

It looks like someone is trying to frame Assad for those murders. It looks like someone is trying to pin a crime on him. Assad said he didn't do it. It doesn't make sense that he would hurt his own people. He needs them to serve in his army. Why would he kill them, they are more valuable to him alive than dead, it doesn't sense that he would kill them. Hmm... I wonder who is behind the killing? Who has a lot to gain by framing him with those murders?

So a nerd on the other side of the world has a conspiracy theory...that's so unusual! 
If it was staged those dead people did a really good acting job.

Yet...they interviewed some of the civilians there and they said it was real.
I think I'll take their word for it...considering the liberals are trying to dig up anything, even if its not true...to make trump look bad.

The gas was real. The deaths were real.
The way the bomb was exploded is what he's questioning.
Assad's foes could have done it knowing there would be a reaction against him.
Things like this have happened before.

I think the chemical weapons attack was real. But I don't think Assad did it. Someone else did & tried to blame it on Assad. He has nothing to gain by killing his own people. He has more to gain by keeping them alive for his army. If your army die you will have no army to support you. So why would he kill his own people? He has so much more to gain by keeping them alive. Assad is being frame for something he didn't do. He said he didn't do it. I believe Assad didn't kill his own people. Someone else did it, & trying to blame it on him.
You have to look at what does Assad have to gain by killing his own people? Nothing. So he has no reason to kill them. They are more valuable to him alive than dead.

He's killing his own people to take their land. He is killing his rebels.

What's scary is the fact so many people think just because some twat goes to MIT or teaches there means he can't be f**king nuts.

Open your mind or are you one of those who believes what the government tells you is fact?
Looks like it's forced downward to me.
"The explosive acted on the pipe as a blunt crushing mallet," Postol said. "It drove the pipe into the ground while at the same time creating the crater.
"Since the pipe was filled with sarin, which is an incompressible fluid, as the pipe was flattened, the sarin acted on the walls and ends of the pipe causing a crack along the length of the pipe and also the failure of the cap on the back end."
The implication of Postol's analysis is that it was carried out by anti-government insurgents as Khan Sheikhoun is in militant-controlled territory of Syria.

Well I'd be much more likely to believe MULTIPLE governments than some f**king nerd at MIT using Microsoft paint to insert drawings of pipes into a pic of a pot hole.

Is it just me who finds this pic laughable...a pothole with a little red sign in it..because that's what authorities do when a bomb attack goes off, they put a cute little red sign in the hole.

op, you're just as ignorant about this as you are everything else. 
"He concluded that the US government's report does not provide any "concrete" evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground. "
no shit. Assad's players.
Unless the MIT faux genius has run a months-long investigation into all the forensics and possible scenarios, my "opinion" is as good as his.
Show it with facts from a forensic report of the weapons, where the gas and weapons originated, how they were delivered.
IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.

most people can't even read maps. A blueprint of any nature would make them dizzy. 
i loved drafting. Only girl in HS class. Before CAD/CAM of course.
