In reply to the discussion: Iran ex-president says Syria government launched gas attacks: news agency [View all]Benton D Struckcheon
(2,347 posts)22. No problem.
I posted it to one person here, who not only completely ignored it but went on to start a thread about how irrefutable it was that it was the rebels. This place has turned out to be like every other place on the Internet; very few care about facts, just about flaunting their opinions regardless of the facts.
Another person I posted it to said it was based on bad sources, like he was some sort of expert on sources in Syria and had his own. Didn't post any actual facts though.
A third went off on a weird rant about not believing the government. Except this isn't a government source of course. Didn't seem to even slow him down though.
Sigh.

I prefer to stay neutral and gather data, some which I don't like, then think about it.

Iranians said it, so no one will call them liars. Positive push to stop oppressing Syrians.
