No smoking gun in Syria

Trish Schuh, co-founder of Military Families Support Network and is a member of Military Reporters & Editors covering the middle east. She was the only western journalist to actually go to Dayr az-Zawr (Deir al-Zur) in the days after the bombing in 2007..a bit old, but did show in SST comment section, from MEHRNEWS, here

"...After the invasion of Iraq, former U.S. Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner identified charges against Syria as one of 50 false news stories created by Israel and the White House to justify war. “Saddam’s nuclear WMDs moved to Syria was propaganda he said. 

 Several days ago, after the attack on Syria, I spoke to Western oil company officials in Deir Ez Zor. One technician told me they routinely monitor radiation as part of the refining process. They registered no heightened levels of nuclear residue in the area as there would have been if the Israelis had hit a North Korean atomic stockpile. Operations and technical foremen put it this way: “The nuclear claims against Syria are pure bull****.”
