Lies and Damned Lies

By Turd Ferguson | Sunday, July 8, 2018 at 5:12 pm

Back in April, the world teetered on the edge of war. In the west, we were told that "chemical weapons, including sarin gas" had been used in Syria and the the civilized world could not stand by and watch innocent civilians die in agony.
