Or...what if the South African government does it and makes it LOOK like the work of disgruntled whites?
Or...what if Mexican Federales do it and make it LOOK like the work of one or more of the cartels?
What if Hamas does it but does a wholly convincing job of making it LOOK like Israel did it?
Or...what if Assad really DID do it, but made it LOOK like a more amateurish, resource-strapped bunch pulled it off, and that the video “evidence” cobbled together to support the claim that Assad did it was intentionally shabby and discreditable to further his attempt to redirect the blame where he wanted it?
You’re hypothesis that Assad did it shabbily is way too far-fetched to be what happened. He was inches from victory.
