That has been their reported strategy for months:

And here is a more explicit and detailed elucidation of the plan from January, 2016—with notes as to the effort having been started decades earlier:
Is Alex Jones the only one you trust?
Here’s another explanation:

Thanks for the links, 9YL. I will check them out.
I don’t think they or we really know. But in general, Fox ain’t all that reliable. And Alex has some borderline kooks on too, from the other side.
30,000 U.S. troops? Yikes. DJT needs to get other countries to do the safe zone guarding. We’ve done more than our fair share. We’ll see how it turns out.
Bottom line for me is I do not want these people in our country, legal or illegal, except Christians. They don’t pose a threat like the muzzies do. But even then, muzzies would lie and say they are Christians just to gain entry. Safe zones there are much safer for us here, IMO.
Remembering from my old Army NBC/CBR courses that Sarin is most harmful as a liquid and that it quickly disapates in hot climates. I found the reply to Dr. Savage on the CDC website about why the rescuers could have been able to be there without protective gear”
“Because it evaporates so quickly, sarin presents an immediate but short-lived threat.”
Additionally, decontamination procedures followed immediately after their exposure would mitigate the effect.

There’s a lot of swamp to drain and it doesn’t always give Donald the clearest view. Even if this was rogue and not Assad, or some other gas than Sarin, it wasn’t the worst thing in the world for Donald to throw a monkey wrench into.
One can almost see him getting a red indignant face, like Underdog. Donald may not be 100% accurate but there’s no doubt what he means.
Agreed, my biggest fear is that Pres. Trump may not always be given the best intel/info.I trust him 100% and always have.
“How do you know it has failed? By what measure do you make this claim?”
Seriously? You really have to ask that question?
If it had succeeded then after 40 years or more of the US blasting million-dollar craters in the sand the Middle East and North Africa would be the most peaceful place on earth wouldn’t it?
But it isn’t is it? The US is currently bogged down in never-ending wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. And now it’s getting into another war in Syria.
And it starts in the same way; the swhoosh of Tomahawk missiles taking off from a ship somewhere in the Mediterranean. On pin-point accurate attacks on acres of sand. This time it was an airbase (whose runway was left intact), but hey-ho I suppose it’s an improvement on disused aspirin factories. At least raytheon shareholders will be happy.
As you rightly say the US is the most powerful nation on earth and yet for all its fancy multi-gazillion dollar gizmos it can’t beat semi-literate goatherds in deserts and mountains.
Do you think that maybe, maybe, just perhaps, it’s time for a reassessment of this strategy? Or are we doomed to be like First World War generals sending our men over the top across No-Man’s Land for the 500th “Big Push” that is sure to be a success this time despite the previous 499 failures?
I thought Trump would be the strategic new thinker, the man who looked for a different way, who could come up with a fresh strategy.
But no, million-dollar craters in the sand it appears to be. The never-ending war continues.
No, the Savage Guy is the Messiah. He knows so much more than the dumbass white guy in the WHTIE HOUSE who launches missiles willy-nilly at Syria/Russia.
WTH are you talking about? Who cares if the middle east and North Africa are peaceful or not? what does that have to do with America?
As you rightly say the US is the most powerful nation on earth and yet for all its fancy multi-gazillion dollar gizmos it can’t beat semi-literate goatherds in deserts and mountains.
yet we are the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth. I think we must be doing something right.

I guess we'd all be better off with Hillary as POTUS, huh? seriously dude, get a grip. solving problems with large amounts of high explosives is the American way. Get used to it.
