    Yes and no. Yes to that part, no to the ISIS part.
    Props to America for bombing the crap out of ISIS.
    Well done.

    The demand that the media knows classified governmental information in and out just as well as the governmental who has it and holds the press conference is simply totally absurd.

    There is a world of difference. When the government is telling lies, than they are the ones who are completely responsible for their own actions. While it's just absolutely totally insane to demand "the media" knows it just as well as the US intelligence when they got a multi billion dollar spy institute at their disposal and the media got nothing.

    The BBC were first into Baghdad and they absolutely do have a multi billion dollar intelligence operation.
    Reporters are commonly shot for spying because journalism in war amounts to the same thing.
    If you publish on Fox news where the enemy is, they get targeted.

    The only ones who were caught are the liars in DC.

    Some people believe the job of a journalist is to exercise skepticism and critical thought. Apparently, you think their job is to act as stenographers for government.

    They have no choice but to mindlessly parrot the propaganda of government. Don't be so hard on them, you big meanie.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Who would really expect the media to verify their reporting?

    As I said, your boy is a pig. Assad didn't have to abuse the Syrian people.

    Это ничего не говорит о том, что вызывает больше путаницы, чем разъяснение проблемы. Это типично для трюма, который поступает из Вашингтона, D.C. Это напоминает мне Теорию Эволюции, нет никаких доказательств этого, но это не может быть опровергнуто. Интересно, почему обычные люди настолько обманчивы? Руководство устанавливает Que.
    Eto nichego ne govorit o tom, chto vyzyvayet bol'she putanitsy, chem raz"yasneniye problemy. Eto tipichno dlya tryuma, kotoryy postupayet iz Vashingtona, D.C. Eto napominayet mne Teoriyu Evolyutsii, net nikakikh dokazatel'stv etogo, no eto ne mozhet byt' oprovergnuto. Interesno, pochemu obychnyye lyudi nastol'ko obmanchivy? Rukovodstvo ustanavlivayet Que.

    This is nothing doublespeak that causes more confusion than clarifying the issue. This is typical of the bilge that comes from Washington, D.C. This reminds me of the Theory of Evolution, there is no evidence of it but it cannot be disproved. Is there any wonder why average people are so deceptive? The leadership sets the Que.

    Most Syrians support Assad. Your support for a criminal regime operation in Syria is a violation of international law and the US Constitution. Why do you support criminality?

    All I did was point out the fact that there is no proof against Assad.

    It's all lies being pushed by the criminals in Washington DC - your heroes.

    We know what he's done regardless of how many Syrians support him. Most Germans supported Hitler, and I think we can all agree he brutalized a portion of the German people.

    You're like Trump--never admit you're wrong even when it's obvious.

    They are reporting.... the news as this is what this person says. You can use your own thoughts if you can trust a governmental agency version of how it goes down, or like listen to Assad and him denying things and think... yeah, he got a point somewhere.

    Mattis confirmed Syria used poison gas several times against rebels and civilians.

    Everyone with an IQ above 80 knows those weapons were from the Saudis and they were detonated by the rebels... a couple accidentally.

    To believe that Assad is stupid enough to launch a chemical weapon UNDER INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT that provided him zero strategical advantage is up there with believing in Santa Clause and the invisible man in the sky.
