    Supposedly the photon bombardment is visible on the camera and indicative of a nuclear explosion. The video I posted shows it best, and the first one that you posted. You can see some white pixellated interference kind of like glitter or camera flashes shortly after the explosion In the video I posted, The bombardment does not happen behind the column, as if the column has blocked it. It only happens where there is exposure to the blast.

    Those aren't nukes -- even an extremely small nuke would be much larger than those fuel/ ammo dumps going up.

    Yup, pretty much anyone should know that, but if you get your opinion from propaganda films and other "fake news" and have absolutely no critical thinking skills then I suppose you could be fooled into thinking an ammo/fuel cache blowing up was a nuclear strike.

    What a diabolically stupid and breathtakingly crazy idea: nuclear howitzer shells...just in case you need to make sure that World War IV is "fought with sticks and stones".

    I looked around for this piece, and I wanted to make sure I remembered it right. It was better than I remembered. If we are to believe Seymour Hersh, and I would over most journalists or governments considering his history of breaking stories powerful people would want to keep quiet, the gas was likely sarin, made by these upstanding god-fearing gentlemen, with US intelligence 's knowledge of the private Assad regime not much better than it was December 2013, and not likely possessing conclusive evidence of Assad's complicity in the recent gas attack than even the slowest poster in this thread.

    Hersh's piece is a long and informative piece and is worth the time to read -- if I'm off I'd like to hear it. I think the "Obama didn't do anything" argument really misses the point and like so many things in US foreign policy, is obfuscated by internal political rivalry into irrelevant arguments that prevents an honest discussion.

    Nukes ALWAYS produce a flash - a double flash in fact but you can't see that for a tactical nuke which could be less in yield than that of a conventional bomb. It's not the size of the explosion (but then why use such a small nuke in the first place) but rather the absence of any kind of flash that shows these are not nukes.

    Nukes are a light weapon, not a chemical explosion. In other words, nukes work by generating massive amounts of light which is what results in the explosion - thus the flash. The energy is released as high energy light rays which in turn heats the air - thus always a flash. Conventional weapons work by a chemical reaction that yields thermal energy (infrared and lower) directly

    No flash - not a nuke.

    Dude, you're comparing a 1953 weapon to a 2016 weapon?

    These have no flash. Are they nukes?

    Good to know our foreign policy is now based on the whims of a trust fund heiress.

    Hopefully she has a plan for what to do next.

    Bring democracy to Syria with a Trump hotel in Damascus. Then, ties, steaks, wines, and Ivanka bracelets.

    Is anyone else interested to see how the White House will spin and convince the world of our claims based from the same intelligence agencies Trump has discredited for the last 6+ months?

    Maybe I give Trump too much credit, but I don't believe this. I think his current posture has much more to do with negotiations with Russia than it does with any humanitarian feeling.

    It certainly makes him look less like a willing participant in Russia's meddling in our elections.

    LOL are you still trying to argue that your video was of a nuclear weapon when it was clearly the secondary explosion of a weapons and fuel depot? That's just awesome!

    I am speechless by the pure idiocy of what you just did there. I mean, honestly, that has to be the most idiot response to the idea that a nuclear explosion always produces a flash - WHEN IT EXPLODES IN THE AIR WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY PERMEABLE TO LIGHT

    I was waiting for you to find a way to dump Hillary Clinton's name into the mix. Eventually, it will sink in that your paranoia towards Ms. Clinton is misplaced today. She isn't President, worst luck. Mr. trump has a grip on the office, stolen or not. Why you continue to conflate Hillary Clinton with Donald trump is a bit strange, in my humble opinion.

    Give me a ****ing break. I increasingly get the feeling that the current inhabitants of the White House and their immediate family are not human, but rather cartoon characters in a very bad cartoon.
