Ron Paul: ‘Zero Chance’ Assad Behind Syria Chemical Weapons Attack

Breitbart ^ | April 6, 2017 | By Jeff Poor

[Brad from Tennessee]

Thursday on the “Ron Paul Liberty Report,” former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) suggested the chemical weapon earlier this week blamed on the Syrian government could be a false flag. He went as far to say there was zero chance Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was to blame because it wouldn’t make sense for him to use chemical weapons at this point in time.

“I looked at The New York Times to get the explanation, and they said ‘Worst Chemical Attack In Years In Syria, U.S. Blames Assad,'” Paul said. “So it is all over and done with? But it is not quite so easy, is it? What happened four years ago in 2013? You know, this whole thing about crossing the Red Line. And ever since then the neo-cons have been yelling and screaming — even part of the administration has been yelling and screaming about Assad using poison gasses on his people four years ago. Not quite true. It was never proven. . .

[Farmer Dean]

People like us will never know the truth of what happened.

[reasonisfaith]

Sometimes the obvious kind of floats to the top, though.

[JoSixChip]

I have $10k that says if you waterboard mccainiac, he’ll tell you exactly who did it.

[Farmer Dean]

Well,I cant seem to be able to sift through all the conflicting stories and be sure of anything about this.Maybe better proof will come in the near future.

[Lopeover]

I agree with Ron on this one.

[Rockitz]

I agree. It doesn’t make sense for Assad to incite our anger and draw us into this conflict. This happened during Obama’s tenure and it was the same thing. The rebels did it because they knew it would suck us in.

[Farmer Dean]

This could be one of those follow the money situations.Who had the most to gain by tricking us into that war?

[Truth29]

"I have $10k that says if you waterboard mccainiac, he’ll tell you exactly who did it."

Yep, and Trump is about to be fatally compromised if he falls for this and attacks a sovereign nation that is no threat to us and gets us into another failed state nation building disaster.

[reasonisfaith]

But when something’s obvious, you don’t need proof.

[xzins]

In 2007 Colin Powell said the intel community intentionally misled him into war.

I believed him.

Why would a man running for nothing admit to being duped?

[Trump20162020]

I still don't get why it even matters.

Tell me why killing 100,000 people with indiscriminate bombings and artillery shellings is a-okay, but killing a dozen people with chemical weapons is some big outrage that requires the U.S. to immediately become involved in yet another detestable foreign intervention?

[Farmer Dean]

I’d sure like to know the truth,American servicemen’s lives will be lost if we go into Syria.We don’t need to be tricked,the stakes are too high.

[Ben Mugged]

I saw Fox News interview John M. “Jack” Keane, retired four-star general and former Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and a defense analyst currently serving as chairman of the board for the Institute for the Study of War. He said there is absolute confirmation that Assad’s troops dropped the bomb. Ground observation saw the aircraft and the US Navy tracked it by radar back to one of Assad’s military airbases. The third source was US Intelligence from within Syria. I would believe him before I believed any “false flag” theorists.

[politicianslie]

Who had the most to gain by tricking us into that war?

the more battles, tigger the battles, the number of refugees increases.

If Islam is going ot enslave us in a Muslim hell, they have to get more peaceful Muslims in the west. Then the Muslims will take care of business of enslaving us all in a Muslim hell that will never end.

Now stop thinking and do the right thing, let them in to rape your wives and children, to behead your neighbors, to kill in terrorist acts until you submit to Islam. It's the right thing to do.

NOW does Hussein Obama's Arab Spring make sense? Overthrow government's to create refugees who invade the west. Hussein and his Muslim terrorist know you'll never believe that, until it is too late.

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t believe any of them — especially the globalist hacks at Fox News who have been pushing for U.S. military intervention all over the Middle East for years.

[parmamenian]

Let the middle east settle for themselves. We can be energy independent now, and they can be free of the great Satan!

[ebshumidors]

If they dropped a bomb on an ISIS chemical dump, how would it look different?

[Rashputin]

"Who had the most to gain by tricking us into that war?"

The democrat fascist party and their pets in the Intelligence Community, that's who. If Trump goes in on Syria, they'll have him bound like Gulliver the rest of his term the same way they tied Dub down by always holding approval of funds for Iraq once they got him into that scam.

If you want to know where most Republicans really stand, just use Colin Powell as the perfect example of how a "Republican" will help lead a President off a cliff in order to keep the Neocon machine running.

As for "Allies", yeah, like Israel and the Saudis, always looking out for our best interests.

[Husker24]

Agreed, looks like a setup. You have to ask yourself, just who would benefit? Assad is winning the war anyway why would he risk alienating the International Community by doing this it doesn’t make any sense.
