It seems the Syrian president has been lying all along about getting out of the murder-by-sarin business. The SAMS study — titled, A New Normal: Ongoing Chemical Weapons Attacks in Syria — reveals that the Assad regime merely switched from sarin to chlorine gas in its bombardment of civilians areas. Obama has refused to equip, or to arm, any rebel groups fighting Assad or his forces. There are heroes still in Syria, though, and none are more heroic than the non-violent, non-sectarian Syrian Civil Defence brigades. It would be even better if this year the Nobel committee took back the peace prize it awarded Obama in 2009 for doing absolutely nothing.
