"...accuse the elected Syrian president of "bloody ruthlessness" similar to his father, without qualification, while waging a war for survival against foreign invaders. And that they do not dispute the canard that "he" has waged a bombing campaign against the hospitals of the occupation of Idlib - for which there is no indepedent evidence, and much evidence of fabrication."
Yes, it irks that they hold to this line but saying otherwise of course is providing free hostage to fortune and I think they preferred to press their point rather than be exiled beyond the Overton window Pale of the "Chomsky line": remember he too unfortunately holds a similar position.
In their defence I did notice in their final retort they pick up on Mooonbat's claim that 90% of the casualties were caused bythe Syrian government:"Please get back to us when you find the source for that 90% claim."
I do recall & I think posting here that ludicrous claim coming from one of the plethora of "Syrian Caring Committee for Utter Propaganda"...type of supposedly humanitarian organisations that have cropped up like a pox across the media: all funded by the West.
Of course there are very few conflicts & certainly not one of this type where 90% of casualties are caused by one side. Even common sense declares its utter bullshit, as likewise the much overused propaganda meme: "...waged a bombing campaign against the hospitals" : a variant of the standard "Killing his own people" bullshit meme.
