The New Truthers: Americans Who Deny Syria Used Chemical Weapons

[JackRiddler]

100. "Mysterious" anti-Assad elements?

You mean, like, the real-world foreign jihadis that the whole world is aware have set up shop in Syria and are already committing atrocities? You mean the ones being armed by the super-rich oil kingdoms?

What's mysterious about them, Magistrate?

We're talking about the ones who were already accused of using chemical weapons last spring by Carla Del Ponte and the Russian report, right?

Given how obvious their presence is, and how inconvenient they are to the "not irrefutable" but "common sense" WMD narrative being put out by the White House (to justify yet another US military attack in the Middle East), what does this latest turn to mystification signify?

There was a chemical attack in Syria that appears to have crossed Obama's "red line." I submit the sudden attempt to label one hypothesis about the authorship as "conspiratorial" comes because of the absence of evidence in either direction.

So rather than, "here's the evidence showing Assad ordered this attack" it's suddenly "common sense" vs. "conspiracy theory." Ban the conspiracy theory!

How dumb are we? How much do we fear these labels?
