Assad speaks.

This video is of an interview with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad from just over a year ago. He gives his analysis on why the charge that he launched a supposed chemical weapons attack on civilians in the town of Khan Sheikhoun is illogical.

He makes several compelling points that I commend to you for your consideration. Most of them are also relevant to the recent supposed Syrian government use of chlorine gas in Douma.

What I think is most important is to try to show a side of this man that simply cannot be seen on the major U.S. media. Any number of buffoons, zealots, and flak merchants appear hourly to make Mr. Assad out as someone barely above the level of an Al Sharpton or Hillary Clinton with a personal malignancy to be seen nowhere else on the planet.

A truer picture of this man must be presented to counter the lies and propaganda that sluice through our corrupt media.

Here’s the relevant question: Does this man seem like a decent, intelligent, educated man or does he strike you as the man he is portrayed as in our media?
