In response to Where is Assad Now?

Was Assad really responsible for chemical attacks on his own people?

This article begins with the following unproven allegations: “Remember Bashar al-Assad? The man who crushed his own people under a mountain of rubble and fear? Who turned peaceful protests into mass graves, dropped barrel bombs on neighbourhoods, and used chemical weapons on children?”

Seymour Hersh, among many, many others, including UN investigators, who refused to sign the trumped-up report on the so-called chemical attacks, have proven that the lies about Assad were equal to the charge that Saddam had WMDs.

Why does Pearls and Irritations publish these US claims, crap and propaganda?
