He is a public speaker for the president who made a comment that, while you can see his underlying meaning, is still vague enough to leave some doubt as to exactly what he meant. Basically, he sucks at his job.
The job of reporters is to fairly and accurately report the news. This was neither fair or accurate.
If everyone here can see it, then they can see it, and by reporting this sensationalism anyway they are not properly doing their jobs.
Reading the whole quote again, I can't seem to find any words indicating battlefield.
And.... Wasn't the location bombed a civillian location, not a military target?
Regardless, I know what he meant because I'm assuming he knew about gas chambers.(which he called hallocaust centers?). His wording was still wrong and if I didn't assume a few things, easily taken as any "Hitler never used chemical weapons." Which would be wrong.
Again, he said something in a very very poor way that, while unintentional, was wrong from a certain point of view.
Stop me if I'm wrong but: Assad bombed a location of civillians, citizens of Syria, with chemical weapons in order to kill them, yes? Because he doesn't want them to live in his country?
