Virginia State Senator: Syrian President Assad Was Framed with Suspected Chemical Attack. WP Report
A state legislator who once flew to Damascus for a two-hour sit-down with Bashar al-Assad
took to the floor of the Virginia Senate this week to say the Syrian
president might have been framed with a suspected chemical attack — if
the attack happened at all.
“It is not entirely clear that there was an attack,” Sen. Richard H. Black
(R-Loudoun) said in a
20-minute speech on the floor of Virginia Senate
on Wednesday. “There was a doctor, from the hospital — from the main
hospital in Douma — who has said, ‘We haven’t received any casualties.
Nobody has been sent in.’ ”
The Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons, a global watchdog, has sent inspectors to Syria to try
to confirm whether it was a chemical attack that killed dozens in
Damascus on Saturday.
But in Richmond, the sequence of events was clear: Black spoke; Democrats erupted.
