all of the irrational crap you guys claim Assad is capable of...I can apply that same logic to the US, Russia, Isreal, Britain.
that explanation is simply lazy and not good enough. F-
I want a REAL viable explanation for why Assad would use his chemical weapons on such a stupid target KNOWING full and well that theres a bunch of "Syrians" waiting to run in and capture video of children choking on their own mucous.
He may of gotten away with using these weapons decades ago but Assad is NOT A STUPID GUY. I know some(ok alot) of you just started following world politics after the last US presidential election, but this guy is a smart dude. He managed to stay in power a lot longer than his contemporaries exactly because he's not a fkn idiot.
