Putin's escalating Syria involvement: A weapon pointed at European unity?

6. No, no, let's believe the State Department

You don't even read what I wrote. You don't read what's in the BBC or the State statements. State is dishing up propaganda, but it's conditional, weak, without details. Anyone who can read - I did - can see that. They certainly don't support your fear-mongering bullshit. The way you talk about Putin is exactly how the war party talked about Saddam back in 2003. If one criticized U.S. policy back then, one was called a Saddam lover, etc. I've been attacking Putin since before it became fashionable among chickenhawks. His badness doesn't justify the nonsense you're dishing up, or the way you abuse the sources you pretend support your bullshit.
