C’mon Assad, can’t you kill ‘em decent? We have standards to uphold.

I know, the issue is collateral damage to noncombatants stuck in the city.

I really do with Bolton would shut his blow hole.

The warmongering, neo-con a-hole never misses an opportunity to spew global robo-cop hyperbole through that walrus-sized soup strainer he sports.

Cue the Syrian Al-Qaeda militants to round up their usual Christian & Kurd captives to gas and blame the Syrians/Russians. False flag pretext.

It may not be that simple. He may have a good reason to gas the enemy out of their basement bunkers Has got to be easier, cheaper, and less costly in loss of his soldiers than rooting them out street to street and building to building.

I say let him.

Because you know who else used gas ...

The neocons really think you/we are that easy.

It seems Bolten might have some of Nikki Haley’s ESP. She has the ability to sense gas attacks mere days before they happen. It’s quite amazing (and sickening).

They’ve already kidnapped 44 women and children from the area.

When have the neocons ever cared what us little folk think? I thought that President Trump was smarter than falling for their Klingon world view.

Personally, I could not care less if ISIS types were sprayed like bugs. If they don’t like it, then they should stay away from the war front.

Yes - I have a similar ability, but it is not ESP. I always know about a project, if I am planning it ...

I believe Sarah Palin’s sage advice should be heeded in this instance. Referring to the perpetual conflict in one or other region of the Middle East, she opined that it’s best to let Allah sort it out.

Trump is trying to incentivize the anti-Assad forces to murder more women and children with chlorine gas so it can be blamed on Assad.

Has Trump figured out what will happen to Syria after USA forces murder Assad?

Will Syria be ruled by an ISIS-Muslim Brotherhood coalition government that is heavily subsidized by USA taxpayer money?

This is beyond stupid. Is McCain’s ghost advising that the US attack? If Trump follows the neocon advice, he will assure that the House goes over in November and commit his own political suicide.

It’s a balancing act - juggling the “Don’t get into nation-building/regime change” game with stepping on those belligerent enough to flaunt international edicts against chemical and other weapons that equate to terrorism....and making it all clear to Putin while he’s at it.
