Haley, Mattis divided on evidence of Syria gas attack
NY Post ^ | April 12, 2018 | Mark Moore

Posted on 04/12/2018 11:55:23 AM PDT by conservative98

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Thursday said the US is still looking for “actual evidence” of a chemical weapons attack in Syria, but United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said the United States has “enough” proof.

“I believe there was a chemical attack and we are looking for the actual evidence,” Mattis told ​a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, adding that he wants inspectors in Syria “probably within the week.”

But Haley said she’s satisfied and urged caution in the US’ response to the chemical weapons attack Saturday in Douma that killed at least 60 people.

“We definitely have enough proof, but now we just have to be thoughtful in our action,” ​she told MSNBC. “The national security team is trying to give him [President Trump] as many options as we can, and we’ll be thoughtful about it and see what happens.”

Trump should fire this drama queen nitwit Haley. She is a RINO.

You really have no right to accuse anyone of wanting people to be gassed. Just plain nssty that is.

You are being ridiculous.

Maybe you want American servicemen to die for Syria. Yes, that is what you want.

See how that works?

Haley’s an anti-American *ss. We knew it since she enabled the dismantling of Confederate history.

And I suppose you would have made the same argument re Hitler and Germany prior to December 1941?

Why? She speaks for Trump and by all accounts is a very loyal supporter and representative. She’s standing firm and proud for Trump and the US.

Syrian Army now has control of the area....so it’s not going to be a cake walk for us to get evidence. Though neutral teams have gone on sites prior. So we wait to see.

"I presume thus that you are like a few others here on FR. Nazi Holocaust deniers, okay with gassing people."

Haven't you had enough of people laughing at you and your Nazi holocaust-deniers comparisons? I hope not 'cuz I'm really enjoying your schtick!

Ok...yes I saw that. .....I’m convinced if there was an actual attack ISIS is the one who pulled it off.....they used gas over 50 times in Syria and Iraq since they rose up.
