All this makes us recall the events from ten years ago, when using false information about Iraq’s possession of WMD as a pretext, the U.S. embarked on shady enterprises the consequences of which are well-known to everyone.
The current fuss around the events of August, 21 is clearly aimed at disturbing the work of independent UN experts on chemical weapons. It looks especially strange if you remember for how long Paris and London were blocking the deployment of UN inspectors to probe a chemical weapons attack in Khan Al Asal near Aleppo on March, 19. We cannot allow the truth about the incident to be blurred. On August, 24 we sent a file to the UN in which facts of using chemical weapons by the opposition are documented.
