Turkey finds Sarin Gas in Homes of suspected Syrian Islamists
Turkish security forces found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front who were previously detained, Turkish media reports. The gas was reportedly going to be used in a bomb.
The sarin gas was found in the homes of suspected Syrian Islamists detained in the southern provinces of Adana and Mersia following a search by Turkish police on Wednesday, reports say. The gas was allegedly going to be used to carry out an attack in the southern Turkish city of Adana.

I'm not saying that's what happened. But the Syrian government was winning the war and attacking only civilians only galvanized the world against them. That seems like an awfully boneheaded move. I wondered why the UN wasn't acting, it may be because this isn't as clear cut as Obama is making it out to be.
It never is. Obama says he doesn't want an attack to cause regime change, but sec. of state Kerry is calling Assad the next Hitler and this is the worlds next Munich moment, so what is it? It's two sides calling each others bluff. US who drew a line and whoever who did this.. saying you can't touch us.
I heavily lean towards rebels (Al-Qaeda, is my thinking) doing this. Forcing the US into this corner knowing they can draw US into another **** storm.
Obama is on record early on in the syrian conflict that Assad has to go.
There is a difference between saying what Obama said almost 2 years ago and now. Obama has threaten war and now Kerry is saying Assad is Hitler. 2 years ago there was ZERO chance in hell we were gonna get involved. Today it's almost 100% we will be involved.

This is win-at-any-costs for all of the almost uncountable organizations and factions that have injected themselves into the Syrian conflict - which exists because so many other countries - USA included - are using Syria and Syrian civilians as pawns for their goals having nothing to do with Syria or Syrians whatsoever.
I wouldn't be at all surprised. I hate to see us going into Syria half-cocked, without knowing 100% for sure what has really happened there. Our government appears to be trusting those whom we have been fighting against, and imo, our going into Syria is a huge mistake.
I don't buy it. The small quanity and lack of a delivery system doesn't add up.
The Saudi's are financing and arming the Al Qaeda forces in Syria. That part has been proven by a multitude of reliable sources, and is no different than when I was in Somalia and the Saudi's did the exact same there.
A delivery system for Sarin is not that difficult. A Qassam rocket (see picture below) is widely used in the region and can easily have a Sarin canister placed in the tip.
A 2 kilo canister isn't evidence that the rebs have delivery system, nor is 2 kilos enough to kill 1400 people.
We have no idea how many rockets were fired, or how much Sarin was deployed. Also there are environmental elements; wind distribution, concentration of the agent between buildings and disbursement patterns due to both.
My only reason to show the picture, was to prove that multiple and simplistic delivery systems exist, and to believe what the Administration is saying (that it does not) is just incorrect.
There are also higher capacity delivery systems available for use in the region by non-government elements.
Not arguing with you, just pointing out that the possibility exists, and it is not a far fetched possibility.
On another subject, I cannot believe that the US government is stating that they "so not want to go to War" in Syria, but are stating in the same breath that they do want to fire missiles at Syria. The last time I checked, firing upon another sovereign nation is an Act of War. They would have every right declaring war against the US, and having their allies do the same, if we do attack them.
So who has the lowdown, the straight skinny, the real deal info on exactly how this attack was carried out?
Did they just stuff a dude in a MOP suit load him up with pralidoxime & atropine have him jump on a car outfitted with canisters
and have him drive down the street? Where's the definitive report on what actually happened? Oh you say we don't really know?
OK Let's go with that?
Sarin is an Organophosphate, or basically a Pesticide. It could be deployed with one of these:
Or more easily from one of these if the driver had a simple Tyvek suit and mask on:
But more than likely, it was launched by rocket, or mortar. Mortar's are more dangerous if the canister breaks when fired. But the deployment of Sarin is as easy as putting it in a CS gas canister, driving through a neighborhood, pulling the pin and throwing the canister as you haul butt out of the area.
There are other chemicals that are more dangerous to the people deploying it, and cannot be as easily deployed; Phosgene for instance, which is what Saddam Hussein used against the Kurds in northern Iraq.
We don't have any idea that any were fired...by the rebs...loaded with chemical agents.
Except, with that delivery system, there would be reb casualties. So far, we haven't seen any.
