"I am absolutely confident [and we have the intelligence] that Assad used…"
"and"
"and"?
May one infer his "absolute confidence"
was not a function of "intelligence", and if I follow your sophistry neither was it based on "evidence" given "intelligence is not evidence".
[Then what IS intel. anon? What IS evidence? Court room mind]
If his ABSOLUTE confidence was NOT based on evidence then what was it based on?
