Peter Hitchens on #GasHoax: “Assad is Not Insane”

Peter Hitchens is one of the only mainstream guys hitting the idoicy of this gassing hoax.

He lays it out, just as I’ve been laying it out.

For the Mail on Sunday:

Now, Mr Assad is not a nice person. I have been writing rude things about his bloodstained and wicked regime for years.

But he is not insane. He knows that the use of poison gas is the one thing that will make the USA intervene against him.

They have said so. He is currently winning his war against Islamist fanatics, with conventional weapons. He had even finally got the USA to stop demanding his dismissal.

Five days before the alleged attack – five days! – America’s UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, announced: ‘Our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out.’

So why would he do such a thing, and throw away all his victories in a few minutes? It makes no sense of any kind. As you ponder this, can I explain something about the place where the gas attack is said to have happened?

No independent Western journalist could go there. He or she would be killed or kidnapped within hours.

Any report which comes from that region is filtered through people who you never see in the film that does get out. I have met men like them on my travels. I would not want to offend them.

These are the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, alias the Al-Nusra Front, alias Al Qaeda, the Syrian ‘opposition’ which we in the West have been supporting for several years.

Again, the second layer of this is “even if Assad did it, who cares, it’s not our business.”

But I think it’s important to focus on the first lie.

We saw this with the Russia hacking nonsense – they sought to establish first that Russia did Wikileaks, then it was an issue of Trump being involved.

You should never give them the first lie, because they get the next one easier than the first.

Hitchens is on a rampage on Twitter.

It’s bretty gud.

Not sure why this guy just responds so aggressively to random people on twitter, but I’m glad he does.

It’s funny.
