    Or might have read highly "useful" sources like RT, which I'm sure will inform the clueless how "beloved" assad was/is in syria. One can only truly "love" their murderous dictator when his henchmen are tearing your fingernails off for defending a daughter that refused advances by one of the connected inner circle of assad's mafia gang running the country. Low information posters have no clue what syria was like before the uprising started, where the prisons/gulags were stacked with political prisoners assad was torturing/murdering. They think it was like a Western democracy like Belgium, and then isis came in and started attacking.

    I suspect they may be afraid to look at Syria and the Assads. 75% of Syrians were Sunni Muslims.. and now 5 million Syrian have fled the country.

    But but but the pro-russian/iran/assad cabal will ludicrously claim:

    1) that all who are fighting assad are isis/al qaeda terrorists
    2) the US/West/Israel is behind all those who fight assad
    3) assad was "democratically" elected president of syria, and is the only "legitimate" leader
    4) russia is "justified" and "legally allowed" to bomb people in syria (usually claimed just moments after attacking the US for engaging in foreign wars)
    5) assad has "never used CW on his enemies or massacred women/children," but if he did he is "justified" in doing so because they are all "terrorists"

    Just pathetic nonsense.

    Assad may be mentally ill. It runs in the family.. He was known to be passive and painfully shy and only became the vicious autocrat around 2004.

    Can someone here who is so passionate about US getting rid of Assad explain to me why there were almost no refugees from Syria before 15th March 2011.
    I mean Assad has been president for quite some time.

    Same with Libya, I cant remember seing any refugees coming to Europe back then.

    What I saw was refugees from American Allied countries or rather American invaded countries like Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Iraq etc etc.

    At least give it some thought before you answer, or you just answer as per the headlines from news? Saudi Arabia is hanging its people from ropes because of being Gay or any other bissare reason and still there your country is with the full support. At least don't lie to your self when answering? Is he maybe a threat to American democracy?

    I cant get my head around the fact that every country you have been involved with is at the lowest bottom and still war after war you sheeple believe your governments.

    There is no contradiction. I am confident an expert will show up, like this Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology, and National Security Policy of MIT, with a judgment about this as soon as the evidence is being presented.

    I'll match the war record of the US against just about anyone. Do I need to mention the many NVA war crimes? Spare me your sophistries about the US...

    Uh.. no. When America thinks it is alright to drop napalm bombs on villages, than I fail to understand how they can object to a fuel bomb on a town. But good for you to brush American war crimes under the rug. Does it hurt your feelings? Heck,.. the US still got no problems they sold weapons and handed over deathlists to Indonesia for their communistic purge of up to 1 million civilians.

    Like you trusted GWB over Saddam? Guess who was right, and who started a war over nothing, a war that created ISIS, 100.000's of people dead, millions of the run. The EU thanks you for that trust and their refugee problem.

    When did he start attacking civilians en masse?

    See the progression there?

    Going on 50 years for that family dynasty.

    Because you weren't looking.

    1) Claiming that you are not qualified to say if the evidence is acceptable while simulataneously claiming there is no evidence is a sign of a pretty limited poster.
    2) one person out of a country with thousands of military experts is not exactly convincing
    3) perhaps you can pretend he is also the King of Denmark to buff up his credentials with your irrelevent titles

    In a normal court case, the evidence is presented first and than the jury judges. Your approach that it must be the other way around is not founded on any logic that I am aware of.

    So far, none of these 1000's of experts can judge a thing, because there is no evidence being presented.

    His credentials are in the OP. You butthurt or what?

    I think there probably was a sarin attack, but that it was done by somebody who wanted to frame Assad.
    And I'm very surprised -even shocked- to see Trump fell for it, I thought he had more brains than that.

    The US is probably the worst country of the western world. It oppressed or helped out with oppressing most of Latin America. It still sees no problem that they had such a policy. They supported that mass killer Saddam Hussein, they supported the Shah of Iran with his nazi generals with no regrets, they supported the mass killer Soeharto in Indonesia with no regrets, they supported Saleh of Yemen oppressing it's people with no regrets, same with Ghadaffi, same with Mugareb and now Sisi.

    So I dunno. It seems the US is actually worse than most other countries.
    Americans themselves just don't notice what their country is up to elsewhere.

    Such a weak poster...you denied that there was evidence presented, but claimed to be incapable of judging the evidence. Wow, that's really intelligent.

    How woud you know what has or has not been presented? If none of those thousands of experts who haven't seen any, how could that professor of yours seen any? Derrrrrrrrrr.....

    His credentials are meaningless, as are your posts. You 4 years old, troll?

    Why would you believe someone else did it to "frame" assad, who has ALREADY done that many times - and worse?

    Yemen had a struggling oil business and many factories when Saleh was in office. Now the oil business is all but shut down and over 500 factories have closed.

    Gaddafi was always a bad actor.. The US couldn't have kept him in office short of a huge occupation force, The tribes always hated him.
