Syria Chemical Weapons and French Foreign Policy
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is criticized for claiming that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons on 14 occasions and expressing regret that the US did not strike Syria in 2013. The hosts reference investigative journalist Seymour Hersh's reporting, which suggested the rebels were responsible for the gas attacks. They interpret the French stance as frustration over failed geopolitical schemes involving pipelines and oil.
