when one hears a "story" like the one about the UK selling sarin ingredients to Syria, one cannot take the information at face value.
The statement could very well be true....the components to make sarin gas.....what we don't know is what the purchased intent was for the components. Could have been for something that has no harmful intent what so ever.
The real questio should/could be was the seller even aware these were components to make sarin gas? Were the components sold to an entity that intended to make sarin gas? Was this use known to the seller? And so on.
There are so many reporting organizations and organizations about reporting organizations all experts at poetic lisence and omission of information that conveys the slant or agenda of any given report.
There is a saying that goes something like believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear or read....or something like that. It has never been more true that it is in this day and age of instant communications when the real objectives are agenda and being first.....nothing more.
