The Death of Truth..ISIS, Trump, and Sanders agree Assad is a war criminal

"With ISIS launching chemical attacks, Kurdish leaders in Iraq have issued an appeal to the West for gas masks. But they are still waiting for the gear." April 2016.

And so, it makes no sense for Syria to use chemical weapons, which the OPCW claimed they had removed nearly 3 years ago, while it makes great sense for the terrorists, now in retreat, to use them for military purposes and then blame their use on Assad. Where motive is lacking, there is little reason to draw conclusions; whereas the Syrian motive is to support the Trump decision to allow Assad to stay and to work together to defeat ISIS.

Where means is lacking, along with motive, given the OPCW findings, why is the Western media automatically crediting the lies of the "activist witnesses" and dismissing the explanations of Russia? Is this another operation by the Deep State, which thrives on war and has in the past controlled the media narrative, to reverse the Trump decision to allow Assad to stay in power? Why else would the media believe those affiliated with al Quada as reliable sources?

Now Trump and Spicer are out condemning Assad, which is the purpose of blaming Syria for the release of terrorist sarin inventories. Will this cause a reversal, as the "opposition" hopes? Will the lies, repeated by the Western media, work? When truth is the casualty, will lies survived to guide policy and escalate the violence?

Here is the irony: Secretary of State Tillerson initially refused to condemn Syria, but after severe shaming by a united Western media and the condemnations of his boss, he has finally joined the herd in denouncing Syria's "chemical weapon attack."
