Fox News: W.H. Confident Syria Used Chemical Weapons in Douma Attack

RUSH EXCERPT:
PERINO: "I want to press you on the question, secretary Mattis is saying it was chemical weapons. Is the issue trying to figure out who deployed them or do they know who did it?"
GRIFFIN: "Well, it is interesting, we have heard contradiction, on the one hand he said he’s confident chemical weapons were used. He said they are still looking for evidence, that is why the OPCW U.N. inspectors are going in. He also said, the more time that goes by, those chemicals dissipate. It is not clear what those inspectors will find once they have been there. Remember, the Russians have been on the ground in Douma and probably cleaned up any evidence, there were eyewitness reports of canisters and helicopters that launched canisters that they say had either the chlorine or some sort of nerve agent in them. We are hearing reports, but cannot confirm at this time, some of the groups, the human rights groups on the ground have collected samples from hospitals that may indicate some sort of nerve agent was used. Again, we can’t confirm that at this time nor is Defense Secretary Mattis publicly confirming that."
