Putin: Chemical weapons allegations against Assad 'ludicrous'
Fox News.com ^ | September 4, 2013

Russian President Vladimir Putin called allegations that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad attacked rebel forces with chemical weapons "ludicrous" Tuesday, and acknowledged that Moscow has provided some components of the S-300 air defense missile system to Syria, but has frozen further shipments.

In a interview with The Associated Press and Russia's state Channel 1 television, Putin suggested that Russia may sell the potent missile systems elsewhere if Western nations attack Syria without U.N. Security Council backing.

"From our viewpoint, it seems absolutely absurd that the armed forces, the regular armed forces, which are on the offensive today and in some areas have encircled the so-called rebels and are finishing them off, that in these conditions they would start using forbidden chemical weapons while realizing quite well that it could serve as a pretext for applying sanctions against them, including the use of force," Putin said regarding the allegations against Assad, a staunch ally of Russia.

Like Sigmund Freud said, sometimes a cigar IS only a cigar. However this is more and more a hazardous age for that kind of thing. The idea of exalting God in one’s body has virtually gone out the window in America and it shows in a lot of ways, not just one way. Rooskies may actually respect it more, having been forced back to God by cruel circumstance.

It’s easier for a dope head to steal grandma taxpayer than big shots abroad... And when grandma wields a shotgun, he asks congress and other populists Muslim bros to steal along with them.

I don’t think it will fly.

Putin said it’s “ludicrous” to believe Assad used chemical weapons. McCain says it’s “ludicrous” to believe the rebels used chemical weapons. Putin’s theory makes more sense.

“You can’t be serious.. as if Putin has no reason to lie about the situation?”

And you think that obuma doesn’t lie? Buckwheat is truthful about two things:

1. He hates America.

2. He hates white people.
