I had an interesting phone call about 10 minutes ago.. Someone we know had been watching CNN news..and they are showing videos of gas attacks in Syria.. and (can't think of his name just now) but one of the inspectors from 2003 before Iraq said that is it Sarin gas that the kind the Syrians have has a specific signature. It came from the Russians..and if it is that gas tested, it is for sure the Assad government.
Who knew you could DNA test poisonous gasses..

The fact that they could target where the production of certain Sarin gas originated was fascinating to me.. and I had no idea they could do that..

(22,873 posts)We are on TV lockdown around here.. but my friend said that the inspector thought that they would get the information within the next 5 to 7 days..
I did not know Russia gave Syria sarin gas.. I am amazed at that. And if it turns out to be the Russian sarin.. I wonder if that is what Putin was referring to when he said if it could be proved that the Assad goverment used sarin, he would attack.. or something to that effect..
