ha!
Of course, Iran can bring in any poison gas that Assad needs, since Iran is an ally. The gassing of Syrian citizens is just for practice on what Iran intends to do on Israel.
No apologist for 0bama; I am doubtful anything could have been achieved by our involvement in Syria while (by “while” I mean “during that specific period of time 2009-2016) 0bama was president) There is some possibility that “safe zones” might have been constructed for the refugees who have since flooded Europe and there was some kind of talk of this at the time. But IMHO, nobody should delude themselves into thinking this would not be a massive, massive episode of “interference” or “involvement” with a promise of yet another 20, perhaps 50-year duration like Korea or Iraq. And Russia was not a disinterested party during this period, either.
Now if you want discuss Libya, here is a country whose present and future was systematically flushed down a toilet by the 0bama admin in an exercise of pure incompetence and probably corruption and arms trading.
Yeah.
Amazing how people act so sure about something they know absolutely nothing about. Pure speculation, and still act like that speculation is absolute objective truth. It’s the curse of our time.
the gas came from McCrazy’s jihadists
it’s obvious
It didn’t work the first time it was done...remember Colin Powell’s testimony at the UN?
Some mysterious CIA guy gave Kerry a hat from Syria....
Agreed. Funny how when Trump starts talking about getting US troops out of Syria, all of a sudden there is a new chemical attack. Now if Trump is signaling that US troops will be leaving, why would Assad be so stupid as to do this and get everybody all riled up again? This was in the interest of those who want the US involved in perpetual war in the Middle East. Why is Trump falling for it?
No difference...dead is dead. The Neocons need to GROW UP a bit.
Maybe the Sand People should solve Sand People problems. I’m sorry, was that politically incorrect? Tuscan Raiders, then. Seriously, “gas”? Is literally anyone falling for this? How easily manipulated are people? Are the Syrians ripping babies out of incubators? Will we have tearful testimony before Congress this time?
Obama has the blood on his hands of every single death resulting from war in Syria. I mean, how stupid can you be? Syria is Russia’s #1 ally. I realize Obama was experiencing massive success toppling the governments of several middle east nations in favor of radical extremist fundamentalist Muslims, but it takes a special kind of arrogance to think Putin would abandon Assad. I knew this going in. Putin was going to pull out the stops to insure Assad retained rule in Syria. Obama’s hubris on display. But what does he care if a million people die for his fun and folly.
Anybody who still failed to believe Obama was a Muslim is either horribly dense or just refuses to face the facts — which describes all liberals.
Any objective proof?
You make a good point.
On the other hand, Saddam progressively blocked Weapons Inspectors into Iraq, which flagrantly violated the agreement Iraq signed after the first war, and Saddam started firing missiles and AA at our planes in the No Fly Zone.
In sharp contrast, Assad has denied every chemical weapon attack, and to my knowledge, he has never even threatened USA forces.
In addition, there is no logical reason for Assad to use CWs. This is like the fifth time the USA has claimed that Assad used CWs. What has he gained? Absolutely nothing.
Also, the alleged CW violations take place on land not controlled by Assad. The anti-Assad forces that do control the land refuse to allow credible western observers and analysts into their areas until weeks or months after the alleged attacks take place.
Bottom Line...
Assad's opponents are just as ruthless and homicidal as he is. Why should I believe what anyone in that civil war says about anything?
