The New Truthers: Americans Who Deny Syria Used Chemical Weapons

[bvar22]

45. Another Phony Bullshit Strawman post from the usual quarters.

#1) Please post links to DUers who "DENY" that Assad used Chemical Weapons.

2) Please post PROOF that Assad USED them.

"Maybe", Possibly" and "Common Sense" is NOT PROOF.
Even the USA Government has admitted that they have NO PROOF.

At NO time has the US Government stated that Assad is guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.

PROOF, beyond the Shadow of a Doubt is the necessary criteria before state sponsored executions,
and should be doubly so for starting New WARS,
or for Sending a Message by killing another country's childtren.

Here is a "credible analysis":

Is It Possible The Syrian Rebels (Not Assad) Used Chemical Weapons?
<snip>
All of that said, note that the U.S. has qualified every statement it has made about the situation. it is "undeniable" that chemical weapons had been used in Syria and he set out a case against Assad without directly blaming the regime for the attack.

During his daily press briefing Tuesday, : "There is also very little doubt, and should be no doubt for anyone who approaches this logically, that the Syrian regime is responsible for the use of chemical weapons on August 21st outside of Damascus."

Jean Pascal Zanders, who worked for the European Union Institute for Security Studies from 2008 to 2013 and concentrated on the non-proliferation of chemical weapons says until the U.N. investigative team presents its report, "we need to keep our minds open that the events of last Wednesday could in whole or partially have alternative explanations."

"In fact, we – the public – know very little beyond the observation of outward symptoms of asphyxiation and possible exposure to neurotoxicants, despite the mass of images and film footage," Zanders added. "For the West's credibility, I think that governments should await the results of the U.N. investigation."

Now THAT is a "Credible Analysis" and NOT the hyped stories YOU and YOURS have been flinging around DU.

The truth is, WE DON"T KNOW WHO used these weapons in Syria,
and until we do KNOW, it is wildly irresponsible to be fomenting new WARS and Sending Messages to The World.

If you guys were prevented from using Logical Fallacies
and just Making Stuff UP as you go,
post counts from the Conservative Pro-WAR Wing of DU would plummet.
