Syria Crisis: Cameron And Putin Disagree On Evidence In Phone Call

The prime minister told Vladimir Putin there was "little doubt" a chemical weapons attack had been carried out by the Syrian regime, Downing Street said. But Mr Putin told him they had no evidence that an attack had taken place or who was responsible, it said.

In his phone call with the Russian president, Downing Street said, Mr Cameron and Mr Putin "both reiterated the position agreed by all leaders at the G8 in June: no-one should use chemical weapons and any use would merit a serious response from the international community".

A spokesman said Mr Cameron told Mr Putin "there was no evidence to suggest that the opposition had the capability to carry out such a significant attack, and the regime had launched a heavy offensive in the area in the days before and after the incident".

The Syrian regime "had also prevented UN access in the immediate aftermath, suggesting they had something to hide".

Mr Putin, though, said they did not have evidence of whether a chemical weapons attack had taken place or who was responsible, the spokesman said.

do Discovery ..because they had bombed the site and shot up UN Inspectors Vans. He believes they are Liars. (My interpretation from the speech I watched...but, it's what I processed).

He said his views of the terrible videos of those Gassed Children and others on "Social Media" were so horrifying that this just cannot stand because the World is opposed to using "Chemical Weapons" on Civilian Populations.

He was very worked up over it and thought Assad Regime was lying.

This is what this "citizen viewer" heard from his rant.
