I don’t believe that Assad used chemical weapons. There is no upside and only downside for their use. Having kids as victims is the tip off that this was done by others to get the exact response that happened. Stay out of Syria!

Where in the kcuF do we get off intervening in a their Civil War?

Who intervened in ours?

Would we like to be invaded and bombed by another country(Mexico don’t count)?

What other countries should we “intervene” on behalf of their citizens?

Venezuela seems like a good idea.

What about Iran? Those Pluckers shot their people dead on camera.

So, can we just bomb North Korea?

Who will replace the leaders we displace or kill?

Will they be friendly to us?

What is to prevent the new leaders from committing atrocities?

Since we are bombing the FK out of everyone, why can’t we install a republic founded on a constitution much like ours, by force?

What countries have we invaded in the last 20 years and improved the lives of its citizens and made the world safer?

What happened to non-intervention?

How is this America first?

The rest of the world doesn’t see this is as human rights violations so, why is this our problem?

kcuF the EU

kcuF NATO

This is closer to being their problem than ours and I have heard nothing from those Apeholes....

So you’re ok with chemical weapons being used against innocent people?

Where do YOU draw the line?

Well, is your argument a moral one? Dead is dead, why does 100 people killed by chems, constitute a moral line in the sand?

If they had killed them with traditional bullets would that be okay?

The argument seems to be it is unfair and asynchronous, as you cannot see it until it’s too late.

Really? As if they would see or hear a bullet before they heard the crack in their skull before dropping dead???

I don’t see Turkey doing anything about this and they want to be a member of NATO.

Why can’t we just be humane and do this wherever we see atrocities?

Will we get any oil or something of value from this?

Anyway, what was your argument for attacking another nation again?

At the end of the game, we might owe Ron Paul an apology.

Sen. Paul at least has the integrity to apologize for this after he is proven wrong.

What if we find out it was a setup? Who do we hang then? I’m in the camp this was a false flag because Assad was working his way towards stability in Syria and ISIS was being contained and he would be a fool to ruffle the feathers.

I believe Trump was being set up on this maybe by Kushner and others on the left. Kushner was a lifelong NYC leftist. He and Bannon got into it during NSC meetings because of the difference in opinion. Bannon knew that the outcome would sink the MAGA mission and Trump support. We can only hope it doesn’t happen, but based upon opinions of most it is not a positive.

what would it matter to the desperate killers of thousands of women, children, and apostates like Christians Yazidis and kurds to kill a few dozen children they didn’t know,if it saved the war for the lunatic jihadis.

Why would Assad gas non-combatant civilians when he could have gassed ISIS or Al Qaeda foot soldiers?

I have lost all confidence in Trump's judgment and integrity.

By the way...

The UN has investigated 16 alleged chemical attacks in Syria.

They found no evidence at 12 sites.

They found Sarin nerve gas at 4 sites, but could not determine which side had used the gas.

To my knowledge, not one political leader in the USA has publicly challenged the conclusions of the UN on this issue.

Old Ron’s been hitting the hootch again. Always the one to make wild accusations to gain attention.

Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)... 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.

There's your problem, Ron—you can't presume someone like Assad will always do something that "makes sense"...

“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.””

Mostly agree. Let the Islamic pigs deal with the other Islamic pigs. We must keep in mind Colon Powell was a huge Obama supporter—he ain’t no American patriot.

The demrats and the states with demrat majorities. Those states you mentioned just happened to be where the military contractors mostly reside.

Since when did despots and murderers base decisions on "what makes sense".
