Chemical weapons bring Assad close to victory

[Eldorado]

After seven devastating years of civil war in Syria, which have left more than 350,000 people dead, President Bashar al-Assad appears close to victory against the forces trying to overthrow him.

So how has Mr Assad got so close to winning this bloody, brutal war?

A joint investigation by BBC Panorama and BBC Arabic shows for the first time the extent to which chemical weapons have been crucial to his war-winning strategy.

"We don't have a chemical arsenal since we gave it up in 2013"  Assad denies.

Someone is telling porky's.

Meanwhile, huge numbers of people in the west refuse to believe he could have done this.  I guess truth really is the first casualty in war.  If he ever tries using this stuff on Israel, he will get a true awakening to what consequences SHOULD be for such a horror.

BBC is biased against the Assad regime since the start of the civil war. As is the British government and the West. I do not believe their reporting on the topic to be accurate. I would not claim that Assad' forces have never used chemical weapons but some attacks happened in such a timely manner as to only provide an advantage to Assad's ennemies in the propaganda war and a 'justification' to launch airstrikes against the Syrian regime.
