The United States, France and Britain told NATO envoys on Saturday their coordinated air strikes on Syrian government targets overnight were a last resort and aimed to stop more chemical attacks, the alliance’s chief said.

The three allies briefed NATO ambassadors at a special session at the alliance headquarters and won support from the other 26 NATO members, who sought more diplomatic pressure to uphold an international ban on poison gas attacks like the one the West believes Syria conducted on April 7 in Douma.

"............ poison gas attacks like the one the West believes Syria conducted on April 7 in Douma."

Worrisome language.

I'd rather the West knew absolutely, or the press would report the news, not their opinion, or agenda.

Now I trust we can accept without any doubt that it’s McCain’s Terrorists who are the only ones who could be using chemical weapons. Either them or our allies who stand to gain from the US staying involved.

The language is consistent with Western standards. You might want to ask people jailed on circumstantial evidence about it.

You believe NATO Allies were the ones who attacked civilians in Syria with chemical weapons?

“You might want to ask people jailed on circumstantial evidence about it.”

I can’t think of a single person I know who is, or has been jailed on circumstantial evidence much less jailed at all.

Last night, Mattis says he has seen conclusive evidence of Syrian use of chemical weapons and Russian assistance.

Government helicopters dropping liquid chlorine barrels on people. Probably observed by GCC HUMINT.

I watched a video of Syrian military firefighters working at the bombed chemical weapons research center this morning...no protective gear used.

Eventually the lies used to provoke this missile attack will become too numerous to explain away by the Pentagon.

Let's leave it here:

February 25, 2015 - It’s been frequently noted that the case against Aaron Hernandez for the murder of Odin Lloyd is based on circumstantial evidence rather than direct evidence.

April 15, 2015 - Aaron Hernandez found guilty of murder by Massachusetts jury

I believe it could’ve been Israel, Saudi Arabia or McCain’s terrorists. As far as NATO goes? Khadaffi had defeated the rebels who were enabled by NATO. The supposed reason for NATO interference was so the rebels could return home safely. Then NATO annihilated Khaddafi and any chance at stability. It’s one of the darkest pages in US foreign policy. Keep in mind also that Italy had a lot of Khadaffi and Libyan money in its banks that it couldn’t afford to have withdrawn. And western Egypt and Benghazi? Look up
Apache Oil and Egypt” and then let me know if you STILL think the chaos we’ve caused in the Mideast has anything whatsoever to do with leaders who abuse their population.

They were able to bomb a number of chemical weapons sites without any dangerous chemicals being released into the atmosphere. Truly remarkable accomplishment.
