Syria MISSILE STRIKE 'within hours': Eastern Mediterranean on ALERT for 'possible launch'
Daily Express ^ | 4/10/2018 | Joey Millar

Posted on 04/10/2018 3:51:30 PM PDT by McGruff

A coalition force could fire “air-to-ground or cruise missiles” in the wake of a horrifying chemical attack on innocent civilians in Syria last week.

Aviation experts AirLive have reported this evening a “rapid alert notification” warning aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean to be wary of a sudden missile strike.

AirLive said the alert was issued by Eurocontrol this evening for a “possible launch … within the next 72 hours”.

AirLive said: “According to reports, British forces are mobilising at their bases in Cyprus and Rafale fighter jets could takeoff from St Dizier airbase in France for possible strikes against Syria.”

Mr Macron said any strikes would target Syrian government chemical facilities.

Well based on the amount of equipment I am guessing there must be just thousands of them in Syria.

Are the missiles going to target

McCains jihadists ?
or CiA jihadists ?
or perhaps the Pentagons Jihadists ?
or maybe the Likuds Jihadists ?

Which Jihadi group will these missile hit ?
************************************************
None of those. If launched, the forces of the Syrian government (you know, the ones who actually protect Christians) will be the ones hit. Undoubtably the Obama/Clinton/Kerry/McCain “rebel” jihadists will be laughing their asses off that they yet again manipulated the useful idiots in the West to do their work for them.

The bottom line is that Putin is a terrible bully over energy.

If he gets the pipeline, all of those countries don't want to pay him and be subjected to his bullying.

They'd rather it was us. And there you go.

None of this is about Syria or Assad, it's about the Deep State crowd maneuvering Trump into chipping away at the support he has from his base. The language in the omnibus spending bill that explicitly outlaws building more than a small segment of the wall is part of the same process.

When Trump goes along with this, he just paves the way for the next step. That step is the permanent State bureaucrats interfering with Trump's tariffs and his ability do do what he does best which is to make deals.

Tariffs for the most part don't start instantly, they're going into effect sometime this summer. That's classic Trump, putting time pressure on the party he's negotiating with and we've already seen Xi respond with some positive changes. Xi is no fool, if the tariffs get wrapped up in political football and red tape, he doesn't need to implement anything, he can just wait. Otherwise, he'll want a face to face with Trump where both can come out looking like winners and great deal makers.

Despite the majority of the people on FR staying with Trump pretty much no matter what, it's the States that have long been democrat strongholds democrats took for granted where looking like, "just another lying politician" when his actions contradict his campaign promises, is where things like continuing our fighting in Syria will chip away at his support and that's exactly where he can least afford to lose support.

Trump is smart enough to have someone doing their best to unravel the EPA so that bringing industry back to the US doesn't just end up with companies being tied up for years in red tape (enough years to outlast a Trump Presidency) but he apparently isn't convinced of the fact that the entire upper layer of the Military and the Intelligence community sold out to Globalists intent on destroying the US way back under the Clinton administration. They just became noteworthy under Obama because they'd climbed the ladder to the top with democrat pols paving the way for them.

Trump should require congress to declare law as required by the constitution.

Yup. The pro-Russian, anti-Trump, anti-America posters are out in force today.

Bull Hockey. Everything yuz guyz hear right now is pure disinformation and misdirection.

Look to the raid on the air base and do some open source research to find out what is really going on.

A lot of talk about targeting Syrian aircraft on the ground and the airports they operate at. If the coalition degrades the operational capabilities of the Syrian AF to mount conventional air strikes, won’t that actually make them MORE likely to use unconventional weapons like... poison gas?

They’re actually spinning the wheel-of-airstrikes right now in the Pentagon to determine which group is going to be bombed. Reminds me of that Dustin Hoffman movie “Wag the Dog”.

It's nothing but the same BS we used to take Yugoslavia apart. And then we put in a pipeline and a huge base to protect it.

Never refuse our request for use of your country for a pipeline. A fatal error.

Prayers up for cooler heads to prevail!! Please confess your sins to Holy Father and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You never know, given St. John’s Revelation about Syria and what is currently happening over there, this could be your last chance because the Russian envoy has stated Russia will have no bounders attacking the USA if the US attacks Syria.

I will definitely support USAF destroying, taking out completely, the Hezbellah out of both Syria and Lebanon.
This will prevent major casualties ... and almost certainly more and more war from those dangerous terrorist crazies.

They desperately need to be eliminated ASAP!

as for bombing other factions over there? I would demand a real explanation just who we are bombing ... there’s been far far too much McShame and CIA type ‘secret invasion’ going on there.....and we have never been provided even a cogent, decent ‘cover story’
