US attack on Syrian troops not an accident, definitely intentional – Assad to AP



Published on Sep 22, 2016
Syrian President Bashar Assad says that US airstrikes which killed 62 Syrian government troops were 'intentional' and they lasted for an hour. He added that the US 'does not have the will' to join Russia in fighting terrorists in Syria.

So the fact that the US carried out a major attack against Syrian troops that were fighting ISIS should make any thinking person suspicious that it was intentional.

the fact that the US command center was called as the attack started to stop but the excuse is that they did not get the message and continued attacking for over 1 hr. After which ISIS launched an attack immediately after the US strikes to take some strategic positions. I have a really hard time believing that this happened by chance.

This is a war the US has no permission to be in and nobody really cares that we are fighting another illegal war in the middle east and destroying yet another peaceful secular country. I also think its high time we start to consider the possibility that ISIS was secretly created the way the Taliban was created by the west to help knock off another non compliant state.

I deeply question the mistake narrative about this bombing. Either this is US policy or our military is out of control. The US had best cooperate with Assad to bring an end to this conflict. The Syrian people deserve better. No oil pipeline is worth all this death and destruction!
