Assad claims US worked with terrorists to carry out gas attack

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad called claims that he used deadly sarin gas on his people a “100 percent fabrication” and insisted the US worked “hand-in-glove” with terrorists to carry out the attacks, he said in an interview published Thursday.

The Syrian strongman said he couldn’t have unleashed a poison gas strike on innocent civilians because the country has gotten rid of its chemical weapons arsenal.

“Definitely, 100 percent for us. It’s fabrication. We don’t have an arsenal. We’re not going to use it,” he told Agence France-Presse.

He said the attack was contrived by the US so it could launch an attack against Syria.

“Our impression is that the West, mainly the United States, is hand-in-glove with the terrorists. They fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack,” Assad said.

Well, whoever is guilty of the sarin attack, if there was one, one thing is not in controversy. Our proxies, the “rebels”, are Al Qaeda. If we succeed in overthrowing Assad, Al Qaeda is the beneficiary.

We are acting as the Saudi Air Force.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Lewis Carroll could not have spun a more fantastic and twisted tale. We have surely fallen down the rabbit hole.

The questions nobody is asking: How can we know where ALL the chemical weapons inside Syria ended up as the civil war progressed and, for a while, began to go badly for Assad — did somebody keep a list? In light of the fact that weapons given to our so-called allies fell into the wrong hands, are we so sure that this did not happen with the chemical weapons inside Syria? Sure enough to rationalize attacking a government that had attacked neither us nor its neighbors?

We have photo's of the guys, who paid for the chemical attack. They are shown below plotting the attack. Linda is checking out Juan for later.

Yeah sure, Trump went through an elaborate scheme to fake a chemical attack so he could bomb a few planes and end it at that. /s

Assad should keep his mouth shut.

Apparently, Assad is on the distribution list for Democrat talking points.

I’m sure many people arguing with me will agree with assad over Trump.

No, our proxies are the Kurds and Arabs in the SDF. They’re fighting ISIS and will take Raqqa in the near future, the ISIS HQ’s. The canard about us supporting al Qaedda is assad/putin propaganda.

That assad is lying and that President Trump is telling the truth, which makes some posters here angry because they believe assad and putin.
