ITS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 1,13 AND THERE SAYING THE AUG 21,13 GAS ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE WAS SARIN GAS.

Facts About Sarin
What sarin is
Sarin is a human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. They are similar to certain kinds of insecticides (insect killers) called organophosphates in terms of how they work and what kind of harmful effects they cause. However, nerve agents are much more potent than organophosphate pesticides.    Sarin originally was developed in 1938 in Germany as a pesticide.Sarin is a clear, colorless, and tasteless liquid that has no odor in its pure form. However, sarin can evaporate into a vapor (gas) and spread into the environment.Sarin is also known as GB.

Where sarin is found and how it is used
Sarin is not found naturally in the environment. It is a man-made toxin.Sarin was used in two terrorist attacks in Japan in 1994 and 1995.

How people can be exposed to sarin
Following release of sarin into the air, people can be exposed through skin contact or eye contact. They also can be exposed by breathing air that contains sarin.Sarin mixes easily with water. Following release of sarin into water, people can be exposed by touching or drinking water that contains sarin.Following contamination of food with sarin, people can be exposed by eating the contaminated food.A person’s clothing can release sarin after it has come in contact with sarin vapor, which can lead to exposure of other people.Because sarin vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas and create a greater exposure hazard there.

How sarin works
The extent of poisoning caused by sarin depends on the amount of sarin to which a person was exposed, how the person was exposed, and the length of time of the exposure.Symptoms likely will appear within a few seconds after exposure to the vapor form of sarin and within a few minutes to hours after exposure to the liquid form. All nerve agents cause their toxic effects by preventing the proper operation of an enzyme that acts as the body’s “off switch” for glands and muscles. Without an “off switch,” the glands and muscles are constantly being stimulated. Exposed people may become tired and no longer be able to keep breathing.Sarin is the most volatile of the nerve agents. This means it can easily and quickly evaporate from a liquid into a vapor and spread into the environment. People can be exposed to the vapor even if they do not come in contact with the liquid form of sarin.Because it evaporates so quickly, sarin presents an immediate but short-lived threat.

Immediate signs and symptoms of sarin exposure
People may not know that they were exposed because sarin has no odor.People exposed to a low or moderate dose of sarin by breathing contaminated air, eating contaminated food, drinking contaminated water, or touching contaminated surfaces may experience some or all of the following symptoms within seconds to hours of exposure:Runny nose-Watery eyes-Small, pinpoint pupils-      Eye pain-Blurred vision-Drooling and excessive sweating-Cough-Chest tightness-Rapid breathing-       Diarrhea-Nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain-Increased urination-Confusion-Drowsiness-       Weakness-Headache-Slow or fast heart rate-Low or high blood pressure-Even a small drop of sarin on the skin can cause sweating and muscle twitching where sarin touched the skin.Exposure to large doses of sarin by any route may result in the following harmful health effects:Loss of consciousness-Convulsions-Paralysis-Respiratory failure possibly leading to death-Showing these signs and symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has been exposed to sarin.

What the long-term health effects are
Mildly exposed people usually recover completely. Severely exposed people are less likely to survive.How people can protect themselves, and what they should do if they are exposed to sarin.    Recovery from sarin exposure is possible with treatment, but to be effective, the antidotes available must be used quickly. Therefore, the best thing to do is avoid exposure:Leave the area where the sarin was released and get to fresh air. Quickly moving to an area where fresh air is available is highly effective in reducing the possibility of death from exposure to sarin vapor.If the sarin release was outdoors, move away from the area where the sarin was released. Go to the highest ground possible, because sarin is heavier than air and will sink to low-lying areas.If the sarin release was indoors, get out of the building.If people think they may have been exposed, they should remove their clothing, rapidly wash their entire body with soap and water, and get medical care as quickly as possible.Removing and disposing of clothing:Quickly take off clothing that has liquid sarin on it. Any clothing that has to be pulled over the head should be cut off the body instead of pulled over the head. If possible, seal the clothing in a plastic bag. Then seal the first plastic bag in a second plastic bag. Removing and sealing the clothing in this way will help protect people from any chemicals that might be on their clothes.If clothes were placed in plastic bags, inform either the local or state health department or emergency personnel upon their arrival. Do not handle the plastic bags.If helping other people remove their clothing, try to avoid touching any contaminated areas, and remove the clothing as quickly as possible.Washing the body:As quickly as possible, wash any liquid sarin from the skin with large amounts of soap and water. Washing with soap and water will help protect people from any chemicals on their bodies.Rinse the eyes with plain water for 10 to 15 minutes if they are burning or if vision is blurred.If sarin has been swallowed, do not induce vomiting or give fluids to drink.Seek medical attention immediately. Consider dialing 911 and explaining what has happened.

How sarin exposure is treated
Treatment consists of removing sarin from the body as soon as possible and providing supportive medical care in a hospital setting. Antidotes are available for sarin. They are most useful if given as soon as possible after exposure.

White House sends Congress draft Syria resolution

Posted: Aug 31, 2013 6:05 PM by Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has sent Congress a draft of a resolution authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria.The draft follows through on Obama's decision, announced Saturday, to seek congressional approval for a strike against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.The resolution lays out the administration's claim that Assad's regime killed more than 1,000 last week in a chemical weapons attack. It says the objective of a U.S. military response would be to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade" the regime's ability to use chemical weapons going forward.The resolution authorizes Obama to use the military as he determines "necessary and appropriate" to serve that goal.The draft doesn't lay out a timeline for action. But it does say only a political settlement can resolve the Syrian crisis.

Obama sends Syria military strike resolution to Congress

By Ben Geman - 08/31/13 07:55 PM ET

President Obama on Saturday sent Congress a draft resolution to authorize a military strike against Syria in response to the Assad regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons.

It calls for a strike consistent with international and U.S. law and a past United Nations nonproliferation resolution, phrasing that arrives as the U.S. has few international partners for its current plan.

If passed, it would give Obama power to use the military in a way he deems “necessary and appropriate” in connection with chemical weapons to deter their use, and to protect the U.S. and its “allies and partners” against the threat of such weapons.

The resolution, echoing Obama’s recent comments, says the alleged attack in the Damascus suburbs this month violated international norms, laws of war and the international Chemical Weapons Convention.

It also cites a 2004 United Nations Security Council resolution that found proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons threatens international peace and security.

“The objective of the United States’ use of military force in connection with this authorization should be to deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade the potential for, future uses of chemical weapons, or other weapons of mass destruction,” it states.

The phrasing of the request for authorization under the War Powers Resolution emphasizes that the strikes would not be aimed at dictating the outcome of the Syrian conflict.

It states that the conflict “will only be resolved through a negotiated political settlement,” and calls for parties to the conflict to negotiate.
While the draft resolution cites a past U.N. Security Council statement, in the current conflict Russia and China have opposed Security Council resolutions aimed at pressuring the Assad regime.

"I'm comfortable going forward without the approval of a United Nations Security Council that, so far, has been completely paralyzed and unwilling to hold Assad accountable," Obama said in announcing Saturday that he would seek congressional authorization for a strike.

ISAIAH 17:1
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23 Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)

Syrian Officials Gloat: Obama Defeated Before War Began

Syrian official mocks Obama administration over airstrike delay as Syrian PM threatens.

Obama in Rose Gardem with VP Biden-Reuters

Syria’s Deputy Prime Minister, Kadri Jamil, has given a television interview mocking the United States over U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision to wait for approval from Congress before carrying out airstrikes in Syria.U.S. action was thought to be imminent last week after chemical weapons were used in Syria – a situation that Obama had previously described as a “red line” for his administration.Speaking to Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeem, Jamil said Obama “was defeated before the war began.”America’s “muddled” position on airstrikes “has made a mockery of the U.S. administration all over the world,” he said, adding, “Previous administrations never cared about public opinion, Congress or allies.”Jamil mocked the Syrian rebel fighters, who had hoped for a U.S. intervention that would weaken the Assad regime. “For them this popular saying applies: You brought us halfway to the water well, then abandoned us,” he taunted.In the meantime, Syrian Prime Wael al-Halqi made new threats in case of Western intervention in Syria.“The Syrian army is fully ready, its finger on the trigger to face any challenge or scenario that they wanted to carry out,” the AFP news agency quoted al-Halqi as saying.A second, unnamed official said that Syria is “ready to retaliate at any moment.”Syria officials did not limit themselves to threatening America and Israel. A Syrian response would target other countries, as well, they said, in an apparent threat against Arab nations that support intervention.
Syrian state media publicized a list of possible targets Saturday that included sites in Turkey and Cyprus.

PM silent, right wing critical on Obama’s Syria strike delay

Analysts believe president’s decision to seek Congressional approval for attack will leave Netanyahu dubious voer administration’s capacity to thwart Iran

Several leading Hebrew media commentators said Netanyahu was likely less than happy about the delay in US military action, which was announced by Obama only a day after Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of the imperative for action. Kerry insisted Friday that President Bashar Assad’s regime had carefully planned the August 21 attack, in which he said 1,429 people were killed.Nadav Eyal, on Israel’s Channel 10 news, said Obama’s hesitancy would give Netanyahu nightmares about the US president’s capacity to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive.On the same channel, analyst Zvi Yehezkeli, said that Tehran would consider Washington as “a paper tiger.”Opposition leader Shelly Yachimovich, by contrast, praised Obama’s “moral” handling of the crisis, and said Israel needed to rely on its friend and ally to consider the moral and strategic aspects of tackling “a dictatorial regime that is murdering its own people.”MK Nachman Shai (Labor) said that the delay would give Israel a time to prepare for the eventuality – slight by official estimations — that Israel would absorb rocket attacks in retaliation for an American strike.“We received a narrow window to speed up the production and distribution of protective kits, to fill holes in our readiness, and to preapre the population for an population,” he wrote on Facebook.Shai, who as IDF spokesman during the first Gulf War served as a soothing voice to calm the fears of many Israelis, recently told The Times of Israel that the Home Front was in better shape than two decades ago, but gas mask distribution issues still needed to be worked out.Hebrew media reports late Saturday reported that Syrian government officials were bragging that the US had “lost the war before it started,” and that Syria’s mufti was claiming Obama “has withdrawn; we have been victorious.”Jacob Dayan, a former Israeli consul general to Los Angeles, said Obama “broadcast weakness today,” and that this would harm the US deterrent capacity in the Middle East.

Syrian Media Releases List of Potential Targets in Israel

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad-AFP file

As US President Obama continues to mull his options over a potential military intervention in Syria, Syrian state media is upping the ante, publicizing a list of "targets" that the Syrian military could target with "long-range missiles" in the event of a US-led attack.
Aerial photos of the purported targets were released by state media, including strategic military positions in Israel, Turkey and Cyprus, such as airports and chemical weapons factories.Syrian officials have repeatedly threatened to target Israel in the event of a western strike.Specific targets labeled as "legitimate" for Syrian missile strikes included Israel's Dimona nuclear plant, petrochemical production plants in Haifa, Hazor military airbase, the Palmachim, Zala'im and Tzrifin military bases, Kalandia airport, and military and intelligence facilities in Turkey and Cyprus.Turkey, once an emerging ally of the Assad regime and its Iranian backers, realigned itself to support the rebel movement following the outbreak of civil war in Syria. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist AKP party is closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, which wields considerable influence among many Free Syrian Army battalions. His government has been providing support and refuge to an array of Islamist rebel groups.Cyprus is also considered central to any western attempts to intervene in Syria, due to the presence of numerous military bases there.

Assad Increases Payment Frequency to Russia for Weapons-INN

Syrian President Bashar Assad has increased the frequency of his payments to Russia for the procurement of weapons, according to an investigative report made by Reuters.Sources in the Russian defense industry said that Assad had paid the first installment on four S-300 defense systems, which he bought for $1 billion, and for 36 Yak-130 training aircraft for $550 miillion from the Syrian budget.Another Russian source said that Assad;s uncle was in charge of the regime's business dealings with Moscow.

Terror attack on Suez Canal foiled, officials say

Attempt on Panamanian-flagged ship ‘failed completely,’ according to authorities

By Joshua Davidovich September 1, 2013, 4:37 am 0-The times of Israel

The head of the Suez Canal Authority said a terrorist had tried to damage a Panama-flagged ship, but “failed completely.”“One of the terrorist elements has carried out a failed attempt to affect the movement of ships in the Suez Canal by targeting one of the passing ships, Cosco Asia,” Mohab Memish said in a statement Saturday. He did not elaborate as to what the attack entailed.Memish said the flow of goods through the canal had not been impeded by the attempt.“The attempt failed completely and there was no damage to the ship or the containers it carried. The situation was dealt with strictly by the armed forces,” the statement read.Earlier in the day, Egyptian forces arrested one of the top wanted militants in the Sinai, on suspicion of involvement in the killing of 25 off-duty policemen in the peninsula last month.Adel Mohammed, also known as Adel Habara according to one official, had already been sentenced to death in absentia for killing soldiers in the Nile Delta last year. He is said to be linked to al-Qaeda.In March, Egyptian daily al-Ahram reported that an Iranian plot to blow up an Israeli ship in the port had been foiled.The canal, which links the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, is one of the most important in the world.On Thursday, an Israeli ship needing repairs was denied permission to dock at the canal. Authorities said the container ship lacked the proper papers.

Syria: Putin rubbishes chemical attack claims

• Russian president goes on offensive against Obama
• US weighs up next move as UN team go to Lebanon
• Two-thirds of French people oppose intervention, says poll

theguardian.com, Saturday 31 August 2013 12.31 BST

Link to video: Putin dismisses calls for Syria intervention as 'utter nonsense' Vladimir Putin has rejected US intelligence claims that Bashar al-Assad's regime used chemical weapons in Syria, saying it would be "utter nonsense" for government troops to use such tactics in a war it was already winning."That is why I am convinced that [the chemical attack] is nothing more than a provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict, and who want to win the support of powerful members of the international arena, especially the United States," Putin told journalists in Vladivostok.
The Russian president also challenged the US to present its case for military intervention to the UN security council, after suggesting that if Barack Obama was worthy of his Nobel peace prize, he should think about the possible victims of any intervention by foreign forces.UN experts left Syria on Saturday after investigating the gas attack, which killed hundreds of civilians, while the US said it was planning a limited response to punish Syria's President Bashar al-Assad for the "brutal and flagrant" assault.Barack Obama said the US, which has destroyers equipped with cruise missiles in the region, was planning a "limited, narrow" response that would not involve boots on the ground or be open-ended.Russia responded by saying US threats to use military force against Syria were unacceptable and that Washington would be violating international law if it acted without the approval of the UN security council.Putin said world powers should discuss the Syrian crisis at a meeting of the leaders of the Group of 20 developed and developing nations in St Petersburg next week. "This (G20 summit) is a good platform to discuss the problem. Why not use it?"A poll in France revealed that most French people do not want their country to take part in military action on Syria, and most do not trust the president, François Hollande to do so.

A Lebanese soldier watches as the UN experts arrive at Beirut international airport. Photograph: Hussein Malla/AP The poll was published by Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France on Saturday, showed 64% of respondents opposed military action, 58% did not trust Hollande to conduct it and 35% feared it could "set the entire region ablaze".Russia opposes any military intervention in Syria, warning an attack would increase tensions and undermine the chances of ending the civil war. "Washington statements with threats to use force against Syria are unacceptable," the Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement late in Friday."Any unilateral use of force without the authorisation of the UN security council, no matter how 'limited' it is, will be a clear violation of international law, will undermine prospects for a political and diplomatic resolution of the conflict in Syria and will lead to a new round of confrontation and new casualties."Lukashevich also said that Washington's threats were made "in the absence of any proof" of the Syrian government having used chemical weapons.In a sign the US may be preparing to act, the secretary of state, John Kerry, spoke on Friday to the foreign ministers of key European and Gulf allies, as well as the head of the Arab League, a senior state department official said.The team of UN weapons inspectors arrived at Beirut international airport on Saturday, after crossing the land border from Syria into Lebanon by foot earlier in the day.The 20-member team, including experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, have been into the rebel-held areas in the Ghouta suburb of Damascus three times, taking blood and tissue samples from victims. They also took samples of soil, clothing and rocket fragments. They will be sent to laboratories in Europe, most likely Sweden or Finland, for analysis. The experts have already been testing for sarin, mustard gas and other toxic agents.The analysis should establish if chemical weapons were used, but not who was responsible for the 21 August attack. Final results might not be ready for two weeks, the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, told security council members, according to diplomats.In France, Hollande said Britain's parliamentary vote against military strikes would not affect France's own actions.Two other opinion polls published this week, and carried out after the Ghouta attack, indicated lukewarm support among French voters for military intervention in Syria.Hollande, whose popularity has been hurt by economic gloom, showed unexpected military mettle when he dispatched troops to help Mali's government fend off Islamist rebels earlier this year, an intervention backed by two-thirds of the public.
