REGARDING THE SO CALLED CHEMICAL ATTACKS IN SYRIA http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/94894-at-least-1300-dead-in-chemical-bombing-near-damascus
 Specialists in the impact of chemical weapons said the video evidence was not entirely convincing. [[[["At the moment, I am not totally convinced because the people that are helping them are without any protective clothing and without any respirators,"]]]]] said Paula Vanninen, director of Verifin, the Finnish Institute for Verification of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
[[[[ "In a real case, they would also be contaminated and would also be having symptoms."]]]] John Hart, head of the Chemical and Biological Security Project at Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said he had not seen the telltale evidence in the eyes of the victims that would be compelling evidence of chemical weapons use. [[[["Of the videos that I've seen for the last few hours, none of them show pinpoint pupils... this would indicate exposure to organophosphorus nerve agents," he said.]]]] Gwyn Winfield, editor of CBRNe World magazine, which specializes in chemical weapons issues, said the evidence did not suggest that the chemicals used were of the weapons grade that the Syrian army possesses in its stockpiles. "We're not seeing reports that doctors and nurses... are becoming fatalities, so that would suggest that the toxicity of it isn't what we would consider military sarin. It may well be that it is a lower-grade," Winfield told Agence France Presse.

 Syria: The predictable and false "chemical" attack
===============
 [ed notes:in haaretz dirty war criminal moshe yaalon  israhells defense minister claimed Assad used chemical attacks several times against Syrian citizens,but here are quotes from experts in same article ...  http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.542849
Dan Kaszeta, a former officer of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps and a leading private consultant, pointed out a number of details absent from the footage so far: "None of the people treating the casualties or photographing them are wearing any sort of chemical-warfare protective gear," he says, "and despite that, none of them seem to be harmed." This would seem to rule out most types of military-grade chemical weapons, including the vast majority of nerve gases, since these substances would not evaporate immediately, especially if they were used in sufficient quantities to kill hundreds of people, but rather leave a level of contamination on clothes and bodies which would harm anyone coming in unprotected contact with them in the hours after an attack. In addition, he says that "there are none of the other signs you would expect to see in the aftermath of a chemical attack, such as intermediate levels of casualties, severe visual problems, vomiting and loss of bowel control." Steve Johnson, a leading researcher on the effects of hazardous material exposure at England's Cranfield University who has worked with Britain's Ministry of Defense on chemical warfare issues, agrees that "from the details we have seen so far, a large number of casualties over a wide area would mean quite a pervasive dispersal. With that level of chemical agent, you would expect to see a lot of contamination on the casualties coming in ,and it would affect those treating them who are not properly protected. We are not seeing that here."
