There is no doubt Syria's government has used sarin during the country's crisis, says France's foreign minister.

Laurent Fabius said lab tests in Paris confirmed numerous uses of the nerve agent, adding that those who resort to chemical weapons must be punished.

But he did not specify where or when the agent had been deployed; the White House has said more proof was needed.

2. Ask Mr. Fabius. He's the one making the vague charges.

3. Do you think this is journalism ??

isnt this just more islamophobia by the BBC ?

4. The BBC was reporting what Mr. Fabius claimed.

It also noted that he didn't say where, when, or by whom.

And it noted that the US said that wasn't enough.

Personally, I will take what Mr. Fabius says with a huge grain of salt. France seems to be full of neocolonial belligerence these days. Taking up the white man's burden and all that.

5. I'd take it with a grain of salt too.

The US and Europe will both act in their own selfish interests on this subject.

6. I,ve already made up my

mind which side is lying. It is Mr Fabius side. There is evidence Al Nusra extremists used sarin and they were caught using it and in possession of it. I wonder if the U.S. want to keep pretending they don't have access to it? They better come clean or it will be one more strike about a dishonest Government. The Truth always comes out, sooner or later.
