The Real Conspiracy

But Jesus it's so puerile; cheap and false overtones of solemnity and depth.

This would drive me nuts if not understood as a commentary on the political/historical realm.  Art there, not science.

There is never any objective reality to anything anywhere.

There is never any objective reality to anything anywhere.  Just perceptions and interpretations, and hopefully dialogue, shared perceptions.  And power writes history, until the next power digs up its own history, and buries the old version.  Ad Infinitum. I think this is all in V.  I still have my copy.


Isn't the Internet great!?

Agreed, Alice.
That said, in this particular intelligence intercepted panicked communication between field and HQ indicates this was not a top-down action.  Not Assad's order.

To remind Israel and others, Turkey, the US, its enemies that, while Syria does not have nukes, or a great defense, or great allies in the region,  accurate and powerful weapons it can use, against an attack by Israel, others, it has chemical weapons and it can, and will use them.

I'm curious as to why Assad would use poison gas on children from his own country.   I know that Hitler wanted to eliminate Jews and that's been the sort of thinking which has gone along with these types of mass atrocities - just get rid of the perceived enemy.   So -  does Assad want to eliminate his own citizen children?  Are they the children of the rebels?   I've not heard anything about the line of Assad's thinking.

One possibility I've come up with is that it's a ploy (possibly factual) to get the US involved and stir up a huge anti-American/West sentiment in the entire Middle East and elsewhere - possibly reason for attack,  etc.  ???

Thoughts?  Why would Assad attack the children? What reason (rational or not) could he have?
