Russia is reiterating that its officers who inspected the town of Douma outside the Syrian capital have found no evidence to support claims that a chemical attack happened there.
Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir of the Russian military's General Staff says ground samples from Douma showed no trace of chemical agents. He says doctors at a local hospital told the Russians they haven't treated any victims of purported attacks.
He also noted that local residents told Russian officers they were unaware of any burials of victims of a purported chemical attack.
Poznikhir also repeated Moscow's earlier allegations that claims of the attack were "fake" and said the Russian military is ready to ensure security for experts from the international chemical weapons watchdog who are to visit Douma to investigate.

(721 posts)Sorry to say, but it's been tested and tried for a while now actually and has worked to sway policy and public opinion to support war. Nothing at this scale before though, just test runs until now. Not good times we live in. Now we get to observe a west meets east mano a mano. Utter lunacy.
