Syria: It Doesn't Matter Who Used Chemical Weapons
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 4/8/2017 | Sundance

Posted on 04/08/2017 9:13:55 AM PDT by Aria

There is a predictable disconnect amid political followers who have not paid close attention to the direct Mid-East visitors to the Donald Trump White House regarding the origin of the chemical weapons use in Syria.

Focusing on who used chemical weapons is a moot point in the larger issue of the Syrian conflict. It doesn’t matter whether ISIS “rebels” deployed them or whether Bashir Assad used them against the “rebels” when contemplating President Trump’s response to stop using them. The victims are Syrians. The regional alliance members don’t care who used them. The message is to stop.

There is a larger message sent by the USA in that strike than just to Assad, ISIS, Syria.

Sigh.. worked out well for us with sadam and Iraq. How many American lives do you commit? I am seriously asking every supporter of this obvious baited trap. Exactly the same storyline we heard then and today.. I commit zero lives to this. It’s about a gas pipeline and an alawite.. Sunni problem.. not a direct threat to us.

Chemical Weapon usage is most defiantly a threat to us and all nations..not only in the ME but anywhere it shows it's destructive head.

That’s what was said about Iraq. So how many Americans do you commit to die for this same exact playbook that mired us in Iraq? Have you seen the wounded, do you know the dead?
Iraq All over again.

I’m a big Sundance fan, and his comment base. As a group they are exceptionally intelligent and insightful. MSM doesn’t want to cover Trump’s idea of building safe spaces for the Syrian people, because they would have to admit that Obama’s foreign policy is the worst of the worst we’ve had in decades.

Our news networks can afford to pay million dollar salaries, but for some reason can’t offer us any coverage on all the work our President is doing to build a coalition of governments in the region. It’s sad that so many Americans trust RT more than any major US news source. Most of our news is funded by multi billionaires, so what ever happened to the idea of a free press?

CFT is hidden in a dark corner of the internet, without much funding, yet provides more well thought out analysis than any major billionaire funded news source. Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this article.

It is not Iraq all over again, or even close.....it was a decisive targeted mission on a base which was responsible for chemical a chemical weapons attack.... and accomplished the desired end.

Furthermore Trumps been conducting targeted attacks since he’s been in office. ..and for that matter Yemen and In Iraq as well...he is fighting against Isis after all.

.....” Have you seen the wounded, do you know the dead?”.....

Indeed I have and do......war sucks no matter where it’s at. Our boys know full well what they signed up for regardless of their political ideology or where they are sent. If they have issues about that they should not sign up .

Further they sure don’t need us to drag out those who have died serving to mind ....there’s a time and place for that.....rather to support them and honor those who have done so.

Oh indeed I listened to her speech very carefully.....she certainly DID NOT vow there would be more. She said they were “prepared” to do more but are hopeful that won’t be necessary.

You need to listen to her with ears to hear.

I agree. If Assad is indeed responsible for the Chemical Weapons, then I support Trump's actions.

Thank you for posting this article by Sundance...he/she is one of the best when it comes to putting things together to let the ‘sunlight’ hit the topic to see the ‘rats’ trying to hide...

Again Thank You...

Nikki Haley threatened more action in Syria. How many lives do you commit to any further action in Syria? How many taxpayers dollars? How many years?

(I agree. If Assad is indeed responsible for the Chemical Weapons, then I support Trump’s actions.)

I frankly don’t care who used them....the fact they were used is sufficient for me that they took out the means of delivery any more... and with the ‘show’ to expect this response if they’re used again...likely more forceful I might add.

Further this is just one of many times they’ve cut loose with them....I tend to think anyone who gets their hands on them among the fighters are just as willing to use them as anyone else....’especially if they’re loosing a battle.’
