Sadly a lot of ‘conspiracy theorists’ on THIS SITE also.
It’s true because our intelligence community tells us it’s true. They wouldn’t lie to us or would they?
Depends how you use the word doubt.
Do I believe with 100% assurance that Assad govt did it? Of course not.
Is it the most likely probability? Yes. Call that doubt if you want.
Should we prove it first? At this point I would say yes, build a strong case. If we weren’t going to retaliate against Syria for use of chemical weapons within the first 12-24 hours, we now need to build a coalition of support for punishment.... unfortunately.
Quick!
Cancel the entire intel budget and hire pollsters to determine foreign policy!
Don’t do it, Mr. President. Leftists and Islamists use false flag operations all the time and this has all the signs of one. Chlorine is the easiest to produce and oldest of all the CW agents. It can be delivered by regular and homemade artillery. Please, DON’T DO IT!!!
Thanks to W’s blundering in Iraq likely few will believe it ever again.
Despots and madmen are now free to gas their own people at-will. Thanks, George.
This is getting really screwy.
However, it lends support for my argument that Trump and the U.S. have no business being a moral punisher of other nations.
Most of the public doesn’t know or care.
Myself included.
“My husband cheated on me in the past but he wouldn’t do it now”
Assad has a history with chemical weapons. Besides, the Iranians are all over the place and they wouldn’t hesitate to use them.
We know they were used so Assad better get with the program and blame the Iranians. Denying their use will just make him look guilty.
Because its proven that WMD is the surest way to draw the US into a war, and a lot of people desperately want a war right now.
Who cares in Assad did use gas( I don’t think he did. Why should he since he was winning and using these weapons would only bring heat on him). This isn’t our fight and why risk sending our troops into harms way to defend a group who is just as bad as Assad? Both sides are rotten and to get mixed up in this mess would bring misery to all concerned.
Why are there so many Assad apologists?!
It doesn’t matter what the public thinks in a case like this. None of us know the facts. Heck even the CIA doesn’t know what happened if you believe what they say.
I trust Congressman Massie over the rest of the lot that have R’s next to them consistently.
He never sold his soul to the RINO leadership like 98 percent of the rest of the rank and file.
Although their release could certainly could have been accidental, I am very doubtful that the Syrian government deliberately used them. I suspect that it was an enemy of the Syrian government trying to undermine support for Syria. Otherwise it could have been a third party who has an interest in prolonging the conflict and is willing to allow the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people to keep the area destabilized. I have no confidence in anything the CIA, State Department, UN, or the legacy media has to say about it. They have all been wrong far more than they have been right.
You can count me among them.
And the explanations given by the “false flag” crew is just as ludicrous.
Bashar Assad is a despot, who has more than sufficiently demonstrated his blood lust, and the inclination to murder his own people - just as did his father before him. Yet we have individuals, here on FR and elsewhere, who are willing to ascribe to a madman the faculty of sanity and the purist of intentions.
Many here on FR are too willing to believe that Assad is a rational creature; and then go on to claim that the ONLY possible explanation for this gas attack is a Deep State “false flag” operation. Take off the tinfoil hats, look at the past behavior of this man, and then consider Occam’s Razor.
True or not, why should the U.S. CARE? Have the U.N. have at it, for what they’re worth.
