So I take it you're OK with a leader using chemical weapons against his people?
Talking about believing fairy tales. Yes, the US/Israel/UK were foaming at the mouth about going into Syria, begging for an excuse, then while the chemical weapons inspectors were in town, Assad thought it'd be a great idea to attack people with some chemical weapons!
You realize it wasn't proven that it definitely was Assad? Most likely cause it wasn't. Funny news channels manipulate people. They will believe anything they see on TV, and won't believe anything, until it's been confirmed for them on TV.
Let's say Assad did use them. Then still, why not be consistent and still fund him? Israel poured white phosphorus over schools and hospitals in Gaza, and the US still gives them $7 million a day.
The UN report did not definitely pinpoint the origins of the chemical weapons, no, but the investigators were able to confirm the trajectories of some of the missiles--they came from government-controlled areas. There have also been accusations of the rebels using sarin gas, namely by one of the UN investigators.
These are not fairy tales. Horror stories, maybe, but not fairy tales.
But you do with your tinfoil hat what you will. It's obvious even to the most casual observer that you won't let facts get in the way.
If there are facts you were unaware of, they come under the tinfoil hat/conspiracy section. So really, you cannot lose.
Again, are you stupid enough to believe that Assad would bomb people while the inspectors were in town and Israeli lobbyists, Cameron and Obomber were foaming at the mouth about fighting Assad? You will believe anything you see on TV, without question. You realize if it wasn't the government, whoever did it would find a way of firing from a government controlled area? Weren't some of your kind of "facts" in the past, ones like Saddam having nukes and was ready to blow us up in 45 minutes?
I think it's hilarious that you resort to name-calling and unfounded assumptions every time you reply to my posts. You really aren't very good at this, are you?
Cause you're above all of that? You, who counter people with condescending memes and hint that people are mentally ill if they share stuff that you were unaware of. I don't think it was over the top to ask if you were stupid enough to believe such nonsense.
You might want to reread the thread and remind yourself of the discussion so far. In particular, read your own posts.
You really suck at this, don't you?
Pot calling the kettle black sonny jim.
You mean you disagree with me? So fine, if I suck, it shouldn't be a problem for you to counter my points or explain the information, but you're not capable, so you'd rather talk about me?
Sure. Rather than repeating the information here, I'd suggest you to start with the obvious, namely
Wikipedia. Plenty of information there, including links to sources. You might find the section on the group's
finances to be of particular interest. Don't forget to follow up on the sources, as they will give a lot more detail.
As for Assad and Syria, again, Wikipedia provides an excellent starting point, as do the official reports that were conducted. You should start there.
The Gaza argument you're making is largely irrelevant, of course, but then, I assume you knew it when posting.
And again, I'd urge you to reread this thread.
