The professor doesn’t have to be there to see the evidence in order to come to his conclusion.
Think about it.
Who stands to gain the most from this attack?
Surely it’s not Assad since we announced that we were going to pull out of Syria a few days before this attack.
Same thing for the Russians.
The only groups that stand to benefit from this attack are the groups that mccain is buddy buddy with.
The professor is not privy to any evidence. He has his mind made up beforehand and his declaration is just to promote his own agenda. He has seen no more evidence to draw a conclusion from than Joe citizen has seen on CNN. As a vet, have you talked with any of your J2 folks? They would be far more reliable than this MIT professor.
No one stood to gain from the attack, except Assad, who was sending a message to his enemies. Tin pot dictators are not known for thinking about the consequences of their actions. They are gods in their own minds.
