3. I don't think

they lie all the time even about Syria. I just think they put enough spin on the news to lead their viewers into thinking the enemy Assad is a horrible human being and their rebels are the good guys. Not saying Assad is a saint or anything but then again, I don't think any president is a saint. But what he did at the beginning of the armed insurgency against his government is what I expect any president to do to defend the state against foreign armed revolutionaries.

Imagine calling for a ceasefire while Lincoln was about to take Atlanta? if the civil war was fought that way, the death count would not have been 600k but 1.2 million people. We need to get out of the way and let the war end.
