The Syrians weren't on a battle field either when they got gassed.

Zyklon B (prussic acid) was widely used as a pesticide in California orchards before the war. It's very light and dissipates rather quickly. I'm not sure it could have even been weaponize or I'm sure The SS would have just dumped it out in the ghetto's.......The point is that there is no evidence that Hitler used a weaponize form of gas. Maybe Spicer got his wars mixed up?

So I don't see the issue.

It was gas.

Germans introduce poison gas - Apr 22, 1915 - HISTORY.com

If the media bashes Spicer for this one, it's just gonna make them look silly, not Spicer.
Gas or chemicals, it doesn't matter. Terrible ways to die that were very similar.

Spicer is fully to blame for his idiotic remark.

In the space of a week Trump has gone from-Assad-can-do-what-he-wants/not-our-fight to Assad-is-worse-than-Hitler.

Trumpees are making a distinction between "beautiful little babies" and "children of god" gassed on a "battlefield" versus those gassed in their beds.

When pressed on this in a follow up by another reporter, who raised gassing of jews, rather than just apologize and admit his mistake he mumbled something about well yes I do appreciate the distinction.

What an idiot and no doubt like his fearless leader he just can't admit to being wrong apologizing and moving on.

Well no doubt he will apologize later on today or tomorrow when the s***t storm on this erupts and rightly so.

Wow!
I was wondering which snowflake would get triggered first. If you had the use of your brain you would see exactly what he meant, but unfortunately your blind hatred causes you to jump to ridiculous conclusions. Hitler didn't drop gas shells on soldiers or citizens. The holocaust was something different in every way.

We gassed our own people in Waco and Truman used nukes on civilians in Japan, when do we hold ourselves accountable?
