Sounds like Russia has proof of the false-flag conspiracy.

“We’re getting more new evidence that this criminal act was of a provocative nature,” he stressed. “In particular, there are reports circulating on the Internet, in particular that the materials of the incident and accusations against government troops had been posted for several hours before the so-called attack. Thus, it was a pre-planned action.”

Maybe thats why Obama seems to have done a 180 in the last 24 hours? From the red line bullshit to questioning economic viability of US actions... this is disgusting.

"I know that some people in the world would like to say that this is some kind of conspiracy brought about by the opposition in Syria,” William Hague, British Foreign Secretary, is cited as saying by Reuters. “I think the chances of that are vanishingly small and so we do believe that this is a chemical attack by the Assad regime.” 

Lol!

Earlier I remembered -kind of a kick to the back of the knee, and when I get time I'll see if I can find an article about it: Awhile back there was chemical weapons use that triggered a UN investigation which resulted in a finding that it appeared that there WAS chemical weapons (some form of bleach?) use but by the "rebels." The West rejected that finding and demanded that the UN actually go into Syria to investigate. So the presence of the UN investigation team on the ground and just down the road from this latest attack feels even more like a set up. People are saying Assad should let the UN inspectors roam freely if he has nothing to hide .With as many powerful countries as are gunning for Syria, who would cooperate?  Perhaps Russia encouraging him to cooperate is some sign that they have confidence in the integrity of UN inspectors?

So many dead. A country devastated. Being played like a game of Uno.

Some of the first comments this morning referred to "blogs." Before blogs or even video was ever mentioned as the basis for Russian suspicions.

I'm not saying that Russia hasn't relied on faulty analysis of blogs showing the first footages. But we KNOW govts have trolls steering conversations on news sites. They were up early and ready to defend against this story. Candy may have fell in their lap with the YT date analysis, but I'm not ready to throw out the dead baby with the bathwater just yet. Only because that' exactly what I'm being told to do by MSM.

Hague's comment is priceless.
