SYRIA: Spells serious trouble

| September 1, 2013 9:00 PM

This is in regard to the letter from Carol Asher.

First of all, where did she get the information that it was the U.S. and Israeli backed forces that were the perpetrators in releasing poisonous gases? Let’s go back a few decades and ask this question. Does she believe that it was the U.S. government instead of Japanese bombers that dropped bombs on Pearl Harbor? Does she believe that it was the U.S. government that told the pilots to fly their planes into the World Trade Center towers?

Let’s stop and point out an important factor, i.e., in the good ole U.S. you have the freedom of speech, which Ms. Asher took advantage of, so I challenge her to go over to Syria and write a letter to the editor of the newspaper and make the same statements; changing the words around to the following: “All Americans, and practically the whole world knows that the perpetrator was not the U.S. and Israeli-backed forces but was instead the Syrian government on the orders of their leader, Assad.”

Take note that in the original letter she said “us” Americans, so I assume she included herself in that statement? Again, where is she getting the information?
