Anyone who dares to challenge the "conventional wisdom" risks being labeled a "truther." In times of war, however, things get murky and establishing the facts can be difficult if not impossible. Witness the chemical attack in 2013 in Syria. The attack was widely blamed on the Assad regime. The Obama administration refused to intervene and got hammered for being "indecisive." The administration however remains committed to an "Assad must go" policy. It's not clear, however, who was responsible for the attack. Investigating a matter like that would be difficult under normal circumstances but in a war it is virtually futile.
It's not a question of "liking" or approving of Assad. Rather the question is; who is worse Assad or an ISIS takeover of Syria? Those are the alternatives we are facing.
