p.c. w. has now spoken and its probe planned for wednesday at the. world health organization isn't on the ground so far. there's a thing we have it's called intelligence gathering in the united states has excellent intelligence gathering other countries do as well so i would ask you should the united states and her allies wait around for bashar al assad to use more chemical substances honest people should we wait around for that formal investigation that could take months and months this is you know actually scandalous that the u.s. has launched a strike based on insurgent tides social media sources well this is exactly what defense secretary jim mad at said at the briefing several days ago where he didn't have solid intelligence on any chemical attack and do know what he did have were social media reports people saying stuff on the internet and who were those people the same people that state department spokes person had there now it's referring to there the syrian white helmets which has been funded to the tune of at least twenty three million doll

on syria come before the international chemical watchdog start their probe into the alleged attack in duma last weekend their p.c. w. experts are due to arrive at the scene later today saturday we've requested a comment from the organization and we'll bring you that as soon as we get it well meanwhile washington says it's confident that the syrian government used chemical weapons against its own people according to a white house statement that confidence and that is based not on intelligence but on media and geo reports. this conclusion is based on descriptions of the attack in multiple media sources the reported symptoms experienced by victims videos and images showing to assess to barrel bombs from the attack and reliable information indicating coordination between syrian military officials before the attack however questions hang over the west narrative due to the dubious reputations of the groups behind the allegations where i doubt they have explained. reports of a chemical attack first appeared strange enough it's almost the precise moment the battle had ended when the syrian government that rebels were negot
