Our poor sad country went off the deep end again in attacking Syria

something.
"Famed War Reporter Robert Fisk Reaches Syrian 'Chemical Attack' Site, Concludes 'They Were Not Gassed,'" by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge, April 17, 2018. There was a lack of oxygen in some tunnels in Douma.
"The search for truth in the rubble of Douma--and one doctor's doubts over the chemical attack," by Robert Fisk, Douma, Syria, The Independent UK, April 17, 2018
"....There’s even a friendly doctor in a green coat who, when I track him down in the very same clinic, cheerfully tells me that the 'gas' videotape which horrified the world – despite all the doubters – is perfectly genuine.
"War stories, however, have a habit of growing darker. For the same 58-year old senior Syrian doctor then adds something profoundly uncomfortable: the patients, he says, were overcome not by gas but by oxygen starvation in the rubbish-filled tunnels and basements in which they lived, on a night of wind and heavy shelling that stirred up a dust storm."
"...There are ... many people I talked to amid the ruins of the town who said they had 'never believed in' gas stories – which were usually put about, they claimed, by the armed Islamist groups. These particular jihadis survived under a blizzard of shellfire by living in other’s people’s homes and in vast, wide tunnels with underground roads carved through the living rock by prisoners with pick-axes on three levels beneath the town."
"...Oddly, after chatting to more than 20 people, I couldn’t find one who showed the slightest interest in Douma’s role in bringing about the Western air attacks. Two actually told me they didn’t know about the connection."
