In time of war, you are not entitled to know proof of details concerning the prosecution of the war
War time secrecy is in the national interest
“ISIS, Iran, Syria and Russia.”
With over 200 nukes and modern, effective delivery means, Israel does not require protection from us. Sure, they do need our real support...intelligence...weapons etc.
They even need public statements we have their back. After all, their nuke force is equivalent to China’s.
Other than that, they can handle it.
As for ISIS, once their territory is overrun, we have no interest in chasing them through the desert. Especially considering every country in the region has an existential interest in their eradication.
I say we have no strategic interest in Syria.
Obviously you disagree.
Not advocating anything in Syria but will say:
Russian trolls are particularly active on US military/vets sites and forums. American troops are particularly susceptible and vulnerable to Russia driven narratives after disillusionment from Iraq, Bush, Obama et al.
As I said, I saw the raw intel, several independent sources, all corroborating what occurred a year ago. The type of intel I am referring to is not subjective, its objective.
Funny, but Assad did not gas his own people. He gassed a rebel stronghold.
Read the Declaration of Independence -- particularly the list of abuses carried out by the King of England against the colonists in North America. The American Revolution wouldn't have gotten past a heated discussion in New England taverns if the colonists didn't see evidence of those abuses firsthand.
Was that the same “raw intel” with “independent sources” that was used to get FISA warrants to conduct surveillance against Donald Trump’s political campaign?
I made two posts you today, showing the Jaish Al Islam chemical laboratory in Ghouta. CNN reporter Frederik Pleitgen was there. CNN never showed the footage. It was shot on March 6th. Pleitgen never uttered a word about the 54 tons of chemicals.
But, yeah, whatever.
Was Donald Trump being misled by "Russian trolls" when he posted that?
That’s too funny, that you send me a pic from when Obama misused and abused our military to support Iranian operatives including ISIS, and equate that to how Trump is employing the military today...
If I have instruments that take measurements, like a thermometer measuring temperature, that measurement is objective fact. The intel I refer to is objective fact.
If you tell me you think its hot, that is subjective. FISA warrants were obtained using subjective intel, and probably outright lies.
He had every right to be upset with U.S. policies in region, but I think he understands (especially now) that we can’t trust Russian Neo-Cons to do the right thing...they are even worse than ours!
Russia is on high alert and preparing for war. No pipeline is worth what is coming. Assad had nothing to gain and everything to lose by gassing a hospital. It is quite obvious to everyone that this was a prelude setup to get us into war.
I’m amazed this noob is able to get away with slandering longtime FReepers as Russian trolls in post after post after post after post after... hmm he doesn’t do anything else at all here does he?
Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!
So in this Twitter post about a chemical attack in Syria, Trump tells the world that Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing "Animal Assad" ...
... then he calls for the area to be opened immediately for "medical help" and "verification."
Verification of what?
I posted another pic a few days ago showing huge concrete barriers being trucked in. They are building two bases. The pics are from the one near Deir Ezzor. Pics from April 6th.
3 days ago - Russian top brass warn al-Nusra, Free Syrian Army plotting chemical attacks in Syria ... Yevtushenko said “the militants plan to photograph and video the alleged effects of chemical weapons and show the clips to the public at large to blame government troops for civilians casualties, as well as to provide ...
” “it’s about humanity and it can’t be allowed to happen””
The people of Venezuela would prefer Trump cast his gaze southward.
If you can’t post specific links to the intel you describe, then I’ll take that for what it’s worth at this point — which is an unsourced internet post from an anonymous person.
