Here’s The Pentagon’s Evidence Assad Used Chemical Weapons
Daily Caller News Foundation | April 7, 2017 | Saagar Enjeti

Posted on 04/07/2017 6:40:54 AM PDT by kevcol

The Pentagon released a map Thursday that reportedly shows the flight pattern of a Syrian aircraft that dropped chemical weapons on civilians Tuesday.

The map was released hours after President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to fire 59 Tomahawk missiles at a northern Syrian airbase, in retaliation for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s attack.

That's "proof" that a bombing raid was carried out. Duh. We're still dependent on "assets on the ground" for intel on the chemical weapons part. And *that's* where the doubt comes in.

Or we could just trust Tillerson and our intel community. Certainly they wouldn't lie to us.

Show me some evidence (other than anecdotal) that ISIS was behind the attack and I could change my mind. Otherwise I’ll stick with Trump’s assessment.

Here’s the rub. If we choose to require video evidence of Assad’s planes taking off, flying, and dropping the ordinance, we will NEVER be convinced, even if there is compelling evidence that he did it.

Ultimately, all we can do is choose which sources we trust. And as time passes and other actions are carried out - or not - the truth will percolate to the surface.

My take was that this was almost certainly a false flag. But I’m not married to that position because there is evidence to support both sides on this. But this is not a battle I choose.

This is an interesting tweet.

“US told Russia. Russia told Syria. They moved their s###. Trump gets his moment, Russia can pretend to complain and tax payers are out 75M.”

It kind of looks like this is what happened.

Exactly! It doesn’t matter which side used what against which side. It’s simple not our business. Cannot believe Trump became so stupid so quickly so brazenly

Don’t you mean Al-Qeada? That was a Al-Qeada held village.

You should ask for a secret briefing to view all the evidence.

Co-ordinated propaganda.

Mattis runs the Pentagon.

Mattis wanted to appoint Soros/Obama “arab spring” stooge Anne Patterson to a high Defense dept. position.

Disappointing.... I think our “intelligence” got duped again.

Just circumstantial evidence.

Who benefits the most from this? Who’s controlling the information flow? It just makes no sense for Assad to have this done.

Deep State is overjoyed.
