Why are some so desperate to believe Assad wasn't behind the gas attack?

because trust in the media and government is at an all time low.


i don't see why it matters. if i were president and they asked me about the gas attacks in Syria

"yeah that was terrible. how bout them knicks though?"

Fair enough. So if that is the case, then why the Hell would ISIS then commit the gas attack?

I don't have a problem with gassing people that deserve it but it's more fun to blame the democrats, globalists etc

Because a man like Assad, though a despicable human being, values power over everything else. And the quickest way to lose power is to chemically attack your own population and goad the U.S. into war.

The uniparty wants war. The corporate media wants war. They have been posturing for it in Syria since G.W. Bush's Axis of Evil speech. They understimated the country's opposition to war the first go round, so what better way to drum up emotional support for war than the gassing of children?

I'm not saying the CIA did it, but I am saying that our government has, in the past, used false flags as excuses to go to war or topple regimes. This is why I don't automatically assign blame to Assad based solely on our media propaganda.

Pretty sure he learned the opposite of this lesson in 2013.

What about all the other times people were gassed in the ME and we did nothing? Saddam gassed the Iranians and the Kurds (who were Iraqi's) and nothing was done to him until he invaded Kuwait. And we did nothing when both north and south Iraq rebelled against Saddam in the aftermath of the Gulf War.

Assad doing it doesn't make sense, that's the only reason I doubt it. Could I be wrong? Yep! But this looks like a psych-ops maneuver on face value...just my observation.

I know you intentionally made this statement facetiously, and yet the way most progressives are reacting to this matter makes me feel like they are indeed thinking this way.

The gas isn't the reason we enter the war, it's the selling point for the war. The American public won't support a war over an oil pipeline, but they will support a war to save little kids, even if it's based upon a lie.
