Agree with earlier poster. Burning and maiming are not signatures of chemical weapons as most people would define…which include the sophisticated anti-cholinergics such as Sarin…which are not pleasant ways to die but are not maiming and burning. Even the more unsophisticated chemical weapons such as mustard gas do most of their damage internally…

No reason to give the Turks a break if they are shooting, blowing up, etc. the Kurds, but it isn’t helpful either to accuse them of using something they are not.
