HOW MANY SARIN VICTIMS WERE THERE?

We're all horrified by the 1,429 people that Assad killed using sarin gas. Except that no one knows if sarin gas was used, if Assad and not the rebels we seek to help used it or even the number of people dead from the gas. We say 1,429 but the french have come it with 281 dead. They are our only ally. Can't we get our story straight? Would you no longer support attacking Syria is the number of that country's gas victims was closer to 281? Think fast, cuz Obama is eager to attack with or without congressional approval. Democracynow.org is news without any commercials. Unlike most of our news whose coverage is slanted towards war because they get ad $ from defense-linked industries.
