The guy is taking a victory lap, but he deserves it. He reported that the US would try to frame a chemical attack on Assad. Looks like he was right:

Was the Turkish counsel general in on this, to set Stevens up?
Well, what have we heard from our government? Has anyone even bothered to interview him? What did he say? Don’t forget, this administration decided to handle this attack as a crime and not a terrorist attack. How long did it take for the FBI to be able to access the ‘crime scene’ after the attack? More importantly, what was left at the ‘crime scene’ to examine by the FBI due to this delay? Do you think the delay was accidental? Do you know what was discussed, or the reason for the meeting between Stevens and the Turkish consul general?
Yes, I know some key points. First, keep in mind what this arms running operation was all about. It was to topple Assad and replace him with a Muslim Brotherhood leader. It was to destabilize Syria to advance the agenda of Saudi Arabia. They were using U.S. and NATO forces to do exactly that.

Syria loads chemical weapons into bombs; military awaits Assad's order

(visit the link for the full news article)
The military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped onto the Syrian people from dozens of fighter-bombers, the officials said.
As recently as Tuesday, officials had said there was as yet no evidence that the process of mixing the "precursor" chemicals had begun. But Wednesday, they said their worst fears had been confirmed: The nerve agents were locked and loaded inside the bombs.
You can always spot the Disinfo Shill News stories, that always source "Officials" without naming a single one.. LOL .. Run Sheeple Run
Pentagon sources tell NBC News that the Syrian military is awaiting final orders to launch chemical weapons against its own people after precursor chemicals for deadly sarin gas were loaded into aerial bombs. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports.
A new round of diplomacy on the conflict in Syria will begin on Thursday afternoon when Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations special envoy, hosts an unusual three-way meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov.
The session, which is being held on the margins of a meeting on European security, comes amid reports of heightened activity at Syria’s chemical weapons sites and signs that Russia may be shifting its position on a political transition in Syria.
“Secretary Clinton has accepted an invitation by U.N. Special Envoy Brahimi for a trilateral meeting on Syria this afternoon with Mr. Brahimi and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov,” a senior State Department official said Thursday morning.
...the military situation on the ground appears to be shifting in the rebels’ favor. Some Russian officials reportedly no longer believe that Mr. Assad will succeed in holding on to power and may have a new interest in working out arrangements for a transition. The changing battlefield, some experts say, may have led to a softening of the Russian position.
A senior Turkish official said that after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey recently met in Istanbul that Moscow was “softening” its “political tone” and would look for ways of getting Mr. Assad to relinquish power.
...There were indications on Thursday that Russian officials see the positions of Washington and Moscow on Syria moving slightly closer.
...A lawmaker with the dominant party, United Russia, told British legislators visiting Moscow that Russia saw Mr. Assad’s government struggling. “We think that the Syrian government should execute its functions,” he said, according to the Interfax news service. “But time shows that this task is beyond its strength.”
Dimitri K. Simes, a Russia expert the Center for the National Interest in Washington, said, based on conversations with top officials, that Russia has indeed softened its position in light of military setbacks for the Assad government, and it is now understood that neither Mr. Assad nor his close associates would take a central role in a new government...

Easy answer - Debka - an Israeli based web site which sometimes has direct hits with their Middle East knowledge (they broke the news of the bombing in Syria by Israel a few years ago) to out and out propaganda. It is difficult to just show this report as propaganda as a) the Patriot missiles have come to Turkey quickly and for a reason and b) US are making noises about Assad's chemical weapons, so there is proof behind the story.
“With this integrated system,” said Davutoglu, Turkey will have maximum protection.” He added: “The Syrian regime has 700 missiles,” and their location, storage method and holders are no secret to Ankara. This was the first time Ankara had made threats to destroy Syrian missiles, including any carrying chemical warheads.
...Coincidentally, Syria is one of the last nations left in the world that maintains a government-owned central bank. This fact has been the cause of some consternation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)...
...All in all, the Syrian banking system largely consists of four state-owned banks and fourteen private banks, mostly foreign banks providing services to the private sector inside Syria. For at least forty years, the state itself has maintained a total monopoly on the Syrian banking system. Even when that total monopoly was broken, it was not in the form of the privatization of the central bank, it was merely allowing private banks to operate commercially inside the country at all.

Thanks for bringing this. I saw it this morning on RT and my jaw dropped. Has to be the most scary development right now. I am also amazed that nobody else has picked up on it yet. Should start a thread if one hasn't been started yet.
Since the "rebels" are funded and trained by NATO (in Turkey) one wonders about the source of these chemicals. It would make perfect sense for the western media to harp about "imminent invasion if chemicals are used" and these slavish cretins make good by starting it off with an actual release. Its obvious where the blame will be placed (Assad) and there goes your false flag. Judging by the amount of ingredients shown in the video, that would be horrific for anyone down wind.

Yet, while Israel is "strangely quiet" according to the Debka link, who's acting like they have the most knowledge of the situation?
Once again, that would be TURKEY!

LOL, sources from the Pentagon have a flawless record when it comes to their intelligence They should just switch it around and call it unintellitgence because that is what it really is. I am sick of people falling for these lies, wake the # up people! Just another MSM propaganda doom thread...shame on you OP.

Turkey is likely just a pawn. I'm sure they have their own agenda, but if you've followed the Benghazi threads you know that the US "consulate" in Benghazi was mostly a CIA facility that was heavily involved in rounding up weapons originally provided by the US to rebels in Libya and then funneling them through Turkey to rebels (or foreigners posing as rebels) in Syria. Figures like 20,000 Stinger missiles were being tossed around.
The late Ambassador Stevens seems to have been more CIA agent than ambassador, as he had gone into Libya early on to be the CIA liaison funneling arms to the rebels in Libya and was in Benghazi meeting with the Turkish ambassador, apparently about the weapons being funneled through Turkey into Libya, on the day he was killed.
NATO, the US, Israel, and even Arabic countries all use Turkey because it's more politically acceptable to have a predominantly Muslim country involved.
from a BBC report... to long to link up
Saddam reportedly used Cyanide, Mustard, and Nerve Gas chemicals in the attack that decimated the Iraqi city of Halabja.
