BBC vs Assad: Britain’s Skewed View of World’s #1 Anti-Terror Leader

21st Century Wire says…
It’s evident where the British State-Funded BBC got their talking points from in this interview. When they’re spewing exactly the same line as Western governments, is it any wonder that their legitimacy is constantly questioned?
The BBC tries to portray Syria’s uprising as peaceful, yet it is evident that there was no such peace as snipers and trouble makers were around since almost day-one of the ‘Arab Spring’ reaching Syrian territory. A foreign terrorist army has been invading Syria for years now, and an attempt to frame these ‘rebels’ as ‘moderates’ has all but collapsed with the rise of ISIS.
The interviewer harps on about ‘barrel bombs’, supposedly indiscriminate clusters of weapons dropped from helicopters, leading Assad to have to constantly reaffirm that his army, like any other, uses bombs, missiles and bullets; he also notes that during war, as in any war, there are unfortunate civilian casualties. After the Iraq debacle, which the BBC had a helping hand in pushing, this is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
