I didn't make the assertion - Silas MU - 4/5 10:02:54

Sal said the US got involved to overthrow Assad - cnk ATL - 4/5 10:05:02

Those are separate issues - Silas MU - 4/5 10:07:57

then why did you use it as a response to Sal? - cnk ATL - 4/5 10:22:56

What? - Silas MU - 4/5 09:08:44

they are allies with Assad - cnk ATL - 4/5 09:07:11

Standing by your ally isn't playing a role - Sal KC - 4/5 09:12:07
