We just launched 43 Tomahawk missiles at Syria!

Do we know that for certain?


It's a safe assumption.

1. The Syrian regime has used chemical weapons in the past.

2. There's never been any evidence that any of the rebels have chemical weapons, which are not the sorts of things you can pick up at the local Speedway.

3. The attack occurred a few days after Tillerson said outright that the U.S. doesn't really have a strong opinion about who runs Syria, the sort of statement that might embolden a homicidal dictator.
 
I think you're losing it man. You have syrian relatives or something?

Take a break. Go smoke or something.

You're just an apologists for Putin and Assad. You're supposed to be Christian. Where is your outrage at dead gassed children? You would rather make excuses for dictators and cast aspersions on those who fight them.

Fake Christian!

Well.... i dunno.

1. The past attack was eventually decided by the UN to be not the regime. In fact, a second hit then took place the same eve when the UN inspectors were coming. Seems odd the government would do this on the even it was receiving inspectors.

2. There has been evidence they are capable of possessing a lot of things. I wouldn't put this past them.

3. The contrary. When many including the Obama admin were calling for Assad's removal, and now, the Trump admin says, let the Syrians decide, it more favors that someone who doesn't like that kind of statement decided to stir things up.

Hence Trump's "I've changed my mind".

I would rather get the real culprits.

And Christians in Syria lived happily until these so called rebels started attacking their villages.

Newsflash for you sudden bullyboy, it is the Sunnis that do not want Assad, other minorities are quite fine with him especially Syrian Christians.

It has been claimed at various stages of the Syrian Civil War that other religious minorities such as the Alawites and Christians in Syria favour the Assad government because of its secular appearance, however opposition exists among Assyrian Christians who have stated that the Assad government seeks to use them as "puppets" and deny their distinct ethnicity, which is non-Arab. Syria's Alawite community is widely written about in the foreign media as Bashar al-Assad's core support base and is said to dominate the government's security apparatus, yet in April 2016 a BBC report claimed that Alawite leaders released a document seeking to distance themselves from Assad.

In 2014, the Christian Syriac Military Council, the largest Christian organization in Syria, formed an alliance with the Free Syrian Army opposed to Assad, joining other Syrian Christian militias such as the Sutoro who had joined the Syrian opposition against the Assad government.

In June 2014, Assad won a controversial election held in government-controlled areas (and ignored in opposition held areas and Kurdish areas governed by the Democratic Union Party) with 88.7% of vote. Individuals interviewed in a "Sunni-dominated, middle-class neighborhood of central Damascus" claimed wide support for Assad among the Sunnis in Syria.

I think Ron Paul has a nice summary on this one


‘FALSE FLAG’ — Ron Paul Says Syrian Chemical Attack ‘Makes No Sense’
4/5/2017

By Christian Datoc

Ron Paul claimed on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Liberty Report” that all signs point toward Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria being a false flag operation.

“Before this episode of possible gas exposure and who did what, things were going along reasonably well for the conditions,” the former Texas congressman stated. “Trump said let the Syrians decide who should run their country, and peace talks were making out, and Al Qaeda and ISIS were on the run.”

“It looks like, maybe, somebody didn’t like that so there had to be an episode, and the blame now is we can’t let that happen because it looks like it might benefit Assad.”

“It’s not so easy though is it? What happened four years ago in 2013, you know, this whole thing about crossing the red line?” he posed. “Ever since then, the neocons have been yelling and screaming, a part of the administration has been yelling and screaming about Assad using poison gas.”

“It was never proven in fact,” agreed Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity executive director Daniel McAdams. “U.N. official Carla Del Ponte said it was most likely done by the rebels.”

“It makes no sense, even if you were totally separate from this and take no sides of this and you were just an analyst, it doesn’t make sense for Assad under these conditions to all of the sudden use poison gasses,” Paul continued. “I think it’s zero chance that he would have done this deliberately.”

Back in January, Paul said in an interview with The Daily Caller that false flag attacks could be used by both the so-called American “deep state” and foreign actors to draw the Trump administration into foreign engagements.

“All we need is a false flag and an accident and everybody will be for teaching them a lesson,” he told TheDC’s Alex Pfeiffer. “You know the deep state is very very powerful and they have a lot of control.”

“I think there’s the shadow government, the military-industrial complex, the CIA, and all the things that can be done because they just melt away and they do exactly what the establishment says.”

Either T-Rump deviated from his isolationist policies because his baby girl got all upset at pics of dead babies or it was a self serving attempt to deflect from the domestic scene where he is not doing so well. T-Rump the humanitarian? Not bloody likely.

The only rump 'Rump's concerned with is his own.

Well, and his daughter's. Word is he's mighty fond of that.

I know that eventually the Dems will develop a meme, but is this really the hill they want to stake themselves out on?

Trump’s grassroots supporters are not happy about Syria bombing

President Donald Trump’s missile strike on Syria marks a complete turnabout from his long-held anti-interventionist policy and some of his biggest supporters are furious about it. Outspoken pro-Trump media personalities, such as Ann Coulter, and notable figures in the alt-right movement, including Paul Joseph Watson and Mike Cernovich, almost immediately vocalized their objection to the air strikes.

The outcry from these pundits, however, is just a reflection of the broader grassroots kick back. Some Trump supporters are threatening to abandon the president, while others are suggesting that he’d lied and betrayed them on the campaign trail. Even in the comment section of Breitbart News, a website that emerged as extremely pro-Trump during the election, depicts an enraged supporter base.

Back in 2013, Trump was a vocal opponent of military intervention and his tweets from that time are recirculating. In one, he tells former President Barack Obama to “stay out of Syria” while in another he demands that the president consult Congress before acting. Somewhat ironically, the president had also mused that Obama was considering military action against the Islamic State to boost low polling numbers. Now that Trump’s approval ratings are struggling, some are wondering the same of Thursday’s mission.

laugh my fucking ass off

You use the mainstream media to frame his grassroots, all of whom hate the MSM...
 
Wait a day or two and Slade will explain it to you and tell you what to think about it.

That's what I'm wondering about...


What's going to finally be the emerging meme. The Left seems to be discombobulated, because it still hasn't emerged. They, like Assad, seem to have been taken completely by surprise. After all, isn't Trump defeated and in retreat?

#2 is a complete fabrication.

#1 is like the claim that Bush said Iraq had WMDs...

;) ;)

#3 flies in the face of the bold and clear statements of Haley in the UN.

Why don't you wait until the official meme finally arises and you know what the proper "explanations" are in order?
 
I seriously doubt rebels would have the wherewithal to acquire them.

With Iran as their proxy?


You are fucking delusional.


Hez'bollah is currently gearing up for a new offensive against the "Zionists..."


Hopefully, Trump just sent them a message too.

What happened in 2014 to cause that?

Was its root in the Obama withdrawal and the creation* of ISIS?



* and by creation, we mean promotion...
 
Yes.


I think he was pushing the envelope because he knew he could and today he is a little bit paranoid because Xi is in the US while this happened...

Yeah, when I read that I was like, "Whaaaaa...? That's some crazy mind game shit!"
