Are we on the brink of a new war?...
They will go to war without waiting for the facts to be checked, and without recalling Parliament.....
he was asked about plans-now being openly discussed at high levels in Washington-for a devastating attack on Damascus.
This will be in response to a supposed atrocity that has yet to take place but about which the Americans openly say they already have evidence-probably an alleged poison gas attack, in which we will see heartbreaking but unverified film of dead or dying children, from propaganda sources, and claims of multiple deaths from untraceable 'eyewitnesses'.....
I have checked several of the Syrian poison gas claims in the past, by reading carefully the reports of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Here are the two most important: the OPCW never even went to the site of the alleged gas attack in Khan Sheikhoun in April 2017, which was the pretext for a spectacular American cruise missile attack.....
Next came the supposed gas attack on Douma, near Damascus, on April 7, 2018. This was also followed by US bombing of Syria, this time assisted by us and the French.
It was widely claimed at the time that organophosphorus (sarin) and chlorine gas weapons had been used....
one MP (and former Minister) who last week wrongly told a constituent there is 'conclusive evidence' that the Syrian state used poison gas, and that Russia and Syria blocked access to the site.....
In fact, the OPCW report from Douma (this time they actually got to the site) concluded that 'no organophosphorus nerve agents or their degradation products were detected'.
The OPCW is still looking into claims that cholorine was used, but it also made clear that Russia and Syria did not block access to the scene....

Haven’t we learned to stay out of wars in the mideast at this point. I’m callus I know but who cares about Syria enough that one American serviceman needs to be put at risk. Another stupid mideastern quagmire. Stay away not our problem or our business
Thank you for the link, mewzilla. Interesting, although not surprising, that Steele is a far left-wing loon.
I love how the stiff upper lipped Hitchens throws out an entirely American word like “yahoo” when referring to President Trump. It’s amusing he uses such a low-class, vulgar word, the pompous ass!
We will not end up in a war in Syria or with Russia. Not going to happen.
At least not now - as Turkey pours troops into Idlib. Neither the Russian nor the Syrians want to attack the Turkish military.
No US ground troops to Syria. No Syrian refugees accepted. We cannot solve the world’s problems or take in all of the people fleeing those problems. Syria is Europe’s problem, and Russia’s problem.
17 years post 9/11 and this is NOT what I would have expected.
“I would’ve been a Rand Paul Republican, if he hadn’t made a mess of his campaign by alienating Deplorables.”
Really? Was that just a campaign mistake on Paul’s part, or does he truly have something against us?
I’m only asking because I would think we would be natural allies.
Very lucid and well thought-out post.
“Israel is our ally... and for us to abandon them would be to curse them... and we know what the bible has to say about that.”
So you believe we have a duty to conquer territory for
Israel? No.
How better to commemorate 9/11 then for our fighter planes to fly top cover for Al-Qaeda and keep them protected? And doing so on the behalf of the Saudis.
Insane
Just more of the McCain crap and so stupid that it must be the pipelines. Nothing else makes sense.
I want us to stay out if Syria.
Excellent post. Thank you
Assad is no teddy bear, but removing him will unleash neck cutting chaos on Israel’s border.
that is irrtional extrapolation
More proof that people will fall for anything if you use CAPITAL LETTERS.
I really think that Rand Paul, by inclination and upbringing, is a Deplorable....less government, less butting into other country’s business, define exactly what are the functions of gov, not clueless about the mess not just national but global finance is in. I was hoping he would be less against Trump during the campaign and perhaps get the VP nod.
A few people are paying attention.

What's irrational is siding with Saudi Arabia and Israel when their goal is chaos they can take advantage of in the ME.
seeing the world through a paper towel tube is too narrow a focus
Again with the lie that Saddam had no WWMDs.
The NY Slimes ran with the story in 2014, detailing the injuries to US servicemen who chanced across the caches of mustard agent and sarin. The Slimes later published the US intelligence report on the discoveries, released under FOIA. It's even been noted on Wikipedia that "the total number of munitions discovered since 2003 had climbed to 4,990...."
The Daily Beast later reported that Bush administration insiders claimed that it was Carl Rove's idea to cover up having found the weapons.
But they were there. And we found them. Bush was right all along.
