Former UK MP George Galloway opines ...
“Assad is not mad enough to launch militarily insignificant chemical weapons attacks on an already beaten enemy and, hey presto, bring America directly into the war against him.
“Anyone who says otherwise is either a fool or is trying to fool you,” Galloway warned.
Galloway urged readers to ask who would gain from such an attack.
“One only has to ask two questions. Why? And who benefits? That there is no conceivable advantage to the Syrian regime is obvious. That there is every conceivable advantage for the ISIS/Al-Qaeda-led rebels is equally obvious,” he said.
“A war which was all but won is now in question again. If the Saudi-inspired fanatics didn’t so disapprove of dancing well, they’d be dancing Gay Gordons and Strathspeys Reels [Scottish dances] in the roads of Raqqa.”
Galloway also warned that the press had not played an even hand in their coverage of the incident, relying on dubious “unofficial sources.”
Referring to US President Donald Trump’s claim that images of suffering children had inspired his U-turn from opposing war in Syria to bombing a regime airbase, Galloway said, “I too have ‘beautiful babies’ Mr. Trump, four of them under 10. I will not see them go quietly into your goodnight.
“Rather I will rage against the dying of the light. And ask as many to rage with me as I can.
