Rand Paul: Syrian Chemical Attack A False Flag
Either that or Assad is ‘dumbest dictator on the planet,’ he says

The chemical attack allegedly perpetrated by the Syrian government is most likely a false flag, according to Senator Rand Paul (R-KY).

When asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer if stalling Russian sanctions was the right move for Trump, Paul directed the topic to whether or not the chemical attack in Syria was even genuine.

“I think before you talk about sanctions, we oughta talk about what evidence is there that Russia was complicit in this attack,” Paul said on Monday.

“In fact, for that matter, I still look at the attack and say Assad either must be the dumbest dictator on the planet or maybe he didn’t do it. I have yet to see evidence that he did do it. The intelligence agencies claim they have that evidence. But think about it: does it make any sense?”

“He’s been winning the war for the last couple of years,” he continued. “The only thing that would galvanize the world to attack Assad directly is a chemical attack. It killed relatively few people compared to what can be killed with traditional bombs, traditional machine guns, traditional tanks. And so you wonder, what logic would there be for Assad to be using chemical weapons?

“So before we get to the Russians, we have to first determine that Syria was implicated, and then we outta determine what the connection is between Russia and Syria on this attack.”

and likewise, I think Trump’s attack was actually upon Assad’s opposition.

Hillary: I was winning the election against Donald Trump, but then I decided to order a fake Russian dossier.

The DOJ and FBI tried to de-legitimize an election because they never thought they'd get caught. What did Assad have to lose, especially if he'd already gotten away with using chemical weapons before? Thugs and bullies are emboldened when they get away with doing bad things. Why wouldn't he use chemical weapons if he figured he'd gotten away with it before. Who was going to stop him this time?

I think Paul Rands ass-kicking and broken ribs was a false-flag.

n December of 1915 at Ypres the Germans released 88 tons of gas from 3000 cylinders. It was a far more deadly chlorine-phosgene mix. 69 were killed and 1069 were wounded. The Germans released it in the very gas friendly wet environment of Belgium in December.

Now Assad, famous for being -far- more efficient then any German ever dreamed of, uses a mere TWO cylinders of chlorine and nerve gas to kill the same 70. It is a near 100% fatal rate. No thousands of badly wounded being evacuated to western hospitals are anywhere to be seen. And the nerve gas is some advanced variety that kills the victim, yet none of the rescuers are affected in the slightest. The only protection they need is a bandana and a bottle of water.

This is a third rate propaganda effort. I miss the days when they respected us enough to at least put some effort into the war propaganda.

Assad didn’t conduct a one helicopter, two cylinder attack, that outperformed the Germans doing it with 1500 cylinders per each one used by Assad. This is deep state intel community BS. It is certified by McCain and his diseased brain and the Dingbat Theresa May and Macron who wants to curry favor with jihadis to mollify his own radicals.

Pure BS from the people who brought us the pee pee dossier and spied on Trump.

Syria is a quagmire and stepping into it was stepping into Obama/Clinton/McCain excrement. Now this President owns it. It sucks the life out of MAGA.

Thank you.

I recall during the last “gas attack” the MSM reported the chemical weapons were sodium fluoride...

Either that or those Syrian targets ( be they Assad chemical weapons lab or rebel hideouts ) were identified a LONG time ago, and all we needed was a good excuse.

So maybe the rebels provided a good excuse for us to bomb them and save face in in the international community by “punishing that bad evil man Assad”????

[ You think the creeps Assad are fighting are good little kids?

Both sides stink. But I’d rather live under Assad than under “rebels.” ]

When you kill or take a strongman in the middle east one of following things ever seem to happen:

1. Complete and utter long term chaos with multiplier factions killing each other with our peacekeeping forces trapped in the crossfire.

2. Another worse strong comes into power after short chaos period or after #1 has ran it’s course.

3. Democracy comes and liberates all the oppressed people, who immediately turn around and vote another allah damned tyrant into power.

"Well he didn’t use them before. Our pals al-Qaeda did that."

If that's an official finding on each use of chemical weapons in Syria, can you point me to the report that says so? There's been chemical attacks in Syria since 2012. Most have been attributed to the Syrian government:

Rand is as crazy as his daddy and panders to the kind of kooks. This sort of idiocy and his isolationist foreign policy is why he didn’t win a single delegate in 2016.

It’s perfectly logic to prefer wiping out one’s enemies with chemical weapons. It’s does car less damage to infrastructure.

Rand Paul has the courage and character to say what 60% of the American people know is true.

It’s hard to argue the point when all of the intelligence agencies of the European countries, plus Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, say Assad is the culprit. If one or two make the claim you might discount them as biased, but, as I have heard, all of them were in agreement.

I also understand that the intel agencies of Italy, France and Britain are far superior to the US as they actually have human sources, not just cyber.
