KW: While Syria and Russia invited OPCW inspectors to investigate the alleged (by the U.S. , U.K. and France) chemical weapons attack all we heard about on MSM is how Russia vetoed the U.S. proposal in the UN. Maybe because these inspectors are already there and can go anywhere they want this is stalling the Western rhetoric and actions. US Secretary of Defense James Mattis reiterated that the Pentagon still has no independent evidence to confirm that there was a chemical weapons attack in Syria last week, but said he personally believes there was one. “I believe there was a chemical attack. We are looking for the actual evidence,” the secretary told lawmakers on Thursday.
The first four chemical weapons experts from the OPCW have arrived in Syria on a fact-finding mission (FFM) into the April 7 Douma incident, while Western leaders continue to blame the government for the alleged attack.
