There are tons of examples of US intel being completely wrong and/or incompetent. If you’re going to protest that point you’re in denial.

Moreover, we have direct and very recent evidence that the intel agencies will also make things up out of thin air as it suits their purposes.

So the question of whether our own intel agencies are telling the truth is really something that needs to be front and center in the consideration of the reported intel.

I truly was only protesting the use of Iraq WMD, and the Benghazi “tape” as the chosen “proof” of misleading or fabricated intel.

I absolutely agree about recent evidence showing the FBI making up stuff out of whole cloth. As for the CIA, likewise, I expect them to be involved in disseminating a whole bunch of disinformation, and outright propaganda to suit their purposes as they’ve done for decades. Let’s not even get into what the State Dept. has done over the years (the last 8 especially). We’re still dealing with an infrastructure that has not been on the side of the American people in quite some time now.

I’m personally not sure what to think about who the real culprit behind these chemical attacks are - though I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up that Assad is responsible. The guy isn’t above doing this, and it’s not like he hasn’t done it before. That said, I also don’t discount the possibility that ISIS or ISIS-supporters may have done this on purpose as well. If you want to go really far down the rabbit-hole... well, let’s not cause that’s a scary, and very dark place, and what we’re dealing with on the surface at this point is scary enough.

Here is one MSM article about Trump’s bombing, with lots of conflicting comments.
