Paul, thank you for bringing up the assessment (seriously). I don't believe that anyone who has read it would trust the conclusions of that assessment.

For the thread- here it is Freepers. Please take a moment and judge for yourselves.

See if it comes across as a dispassionate examination of the facts, or as a clumsy two minute hate.

I shouldn't tell you guys what to look for, but I can't stop myself mentioning its assertion that Russia carried out a chemical weapon attack in the UK. Ugh, talk about clinging to an imploded narrative.

Problem is, the prior reports debunking reports of Assad’s chem attacks have them themselves been debunked. See, for example, the Assessment’s reference to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) report, last fall, on the sarin attack on Khan Shaykhun in April 2017.

Maybe someone here can find a direct link.

Are OPCW and the UN investigators part of the “haters” too?

Sorry to tell you, but 9 out of 10 reasonable people (huge-conspiracy theorists not being part of that group) who read that Assessment and assess it’s veracity vs. opposing sources will conclude we acted properly, even if any one point is in error. Now, if some significant & previously seemingly trustworthy Trump Administration official resigns in protest over this, presenting credible evidence as reason, I would reconsider. Otherwise, I believe Mattis, Trump, & Co., and find it unreasonable that they ALL have been duped.
