On the contrary I reckon he's just saying here what he's said for several years, whether you've agreed or disagreed with some or all of it. A search such as https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=noam+chomsky+assad&start=20&* shows apart from his recent comments, comments from the last several years that include plenty of descriptors of Assad like "monstrous", "criminal" etc. — along with his scepticism of a US/NATO conspiracy or consistent policy of regime change, being critical of some rebels as reactionary jihadists, recognising there's some democratic elements left among the rebels, being guardedly supportive of the PYD-led movement, recognising Assad has to go by some process. I can't say I've followed him in any detail or would agree with everything he's said but on the face of it these I think positions pretty sensible, consistently progressive and in tune with the facts as far as we can determine them.
