The
lie being told in western media is that the Syrians and the Russians
are preveting the inspectors from doing their work.
This
is not true.
Chemical Inspectors Complete Visit to Syria’s Douma
Samples collected, second visit under consideration
22
April, 2018
Inspectors
from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
(OPCW) have
issued a statement confirming that
they successfully visited the Douma and taken samples from the site
of the alleged April 7 chemical attack.
Officials
did not provide a timetable for results, but have said it is possible
a second visit
to Douma could happen if they need additional samples. The inspectors
had sought visits all of last week, but the UN Department of Safety
and Security (UNDSS) blocked that, citing security concerns.
Despite
the OPCW being kept out all week, Western journalists from several
outlets managed to visit without issue. CBS and AFP reporters
managed to get to Douma readily, while CNN
bizarrely got a reporter into the sites to inspect, and
sniff, evidence.
The
US, Britain, and France all seem to anticipate the OPCW probe not
going their way. Each made claims over the course of the last week
that Syrians and Russians were “tampering” with the site. They
also claimed the Russians were responsible for the delays to
the OPCW.
That
was never true. The OPCW confirmed that the only
obstacle to
visiting Douma over the past week was the UNDSS. Experts are
also dismissing
the tampering claims,
saying there is no reason to think that evidence even could be
removed if the site happened.
And
there are plenty of reasons to doubt it didn’t. A number of
reporters visiting Douma found
locals dismissing the
claims. It is entirely possible the death toll was the result of
conventional airstrikes, and no chemicals were used.
In
the meantime, spurious
claims about what happened continue to circulate,
including media claims the OPCW is looking for “nerve agents,”
even though no official has ever even alleged that any such thing was
used.
Since
the US, France, and Britain already attacked Syria on April 13 over
the Douma allegations, they are probably not looking forward to the
results. Anything that challenges their allegations is likely to be
dismissed as in some way flawed, or indicative of a coverup,
despite experts saying
such a coverup would be physically impossible.
The lie being spread at the moment is that the Syrians and the Russians are stopping the OPCW inspectors from doing their work.
