"OPCW says chlorine 'likely' used in Syria based on open-source info & samples provided by jihadists..."

"... and SAMPLES... PROVIDED... by JIHADISTS."

"JIHADISTS".

OMFG, you can't make this shit up!

This is fucking outrageous:
"The OPCW fact-finders interviewed 'witnesses' while being outside of Syria. Access to those witnesses was provided by shady "Non-Government-Organizations" which are financed by governments hostile to Syria. All environmental samples tested by the OPCW laboratories were taken by paid 'volunteers' of the White Helmets propaganda organization. There is no documented 'chain of custody' for the samples."

Just tip (I wrote it already): use "Insert a link" tool. It will make link "live".

You can use similar tools to insert video or pictures too.

Oh, that's likely correct. That's my set up. But there should be a way to go around I think. Not sure if I can find it now though.

It's ok, It only lasts 7 days and I'm not one for posting fake news and such (I hope, anyway!). Well let us know if you find a way around it

Not surprising at all. At first Trump scrapped Iranian deal than Bolton said they want Libya stile denuclearization. They clearly push towards confrontation. Everywhere. With their fuck ups everywhere it is quite naive strategy though.

Wow. @realDonaldTrump just now: "I will decimate North Korea like Libya if they don't accept a deal"

[UK AC]

wtf, Trump threatened to overthrow the North Koreans 'Gaddafi style' if they don't make a deal  


The US president issued the threat at the White House when he was asked about the recent suggestion by his national security adviser, John Bolton, that the “Libyan model” be a template for dealing with North Korea at a summit between Trump and Kim planned for 12 June in Singapore.

The model Bolton was referring to was Gaddafi’s agreement in December 2003 to surrender his embryonic nuclear weapons programme, which included allowing his uranium centrifuges to be shipped out to the US.

But Trump appeared to be unaware of that agreement, and interpreted the “Libyan model” to mean the 2011 Nato intervention in Libya in support of an insurrection, which ultimately led to Gaddafi’s murder at the hands of rebels in Tripoli.

“The model, if you look at that model with Gaddafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him. Now that model would take place if we don’t make a deal, most likely. But if we make a deal, I think Kim Jong-un is going to be very, very happy,” Trump said.

Asked whether his comments meant that he disagreed with his national security adviser, the third of his administration, the president said: “I think when John Bolton made that statement, he was talking about if we are going to be having a problem, because we cannot let that country have nukes. We just can’t do it.”
