Why did Assad use nerve gas?
Asia Times ^ | April 7, 201 | Stephen Bryen

Then why did he do it? He used nerve gas to block a peace process agreed by the US and Russia that would turn Syria into cantons and reduce Alawite control only to those districts where the Alawite minority dominates.

Oh well and who told you all of that - do you have inside WH info that the rest does not have or are you just an ardent DJT supporter trying to make a case where none exists?

Spoken like a true NeverTrumper.

Asserting that someone is "trying to make a case where none exists" is not tantamount to proving that no such case exists. It's just hysteria.

You're claiming that our new Secretary of Defense, "Mad Dog" Mattis—as well as the President, his advisors, and Cabinet—decided to take military action against Assad's Syria based on a case that doesn't exist? You're implying that they just arbitrarily decided to launch an attack with 59 cruise missiles—based on no information at all?

So basically, you're calling the entire administration a bunch of liars?

You'll pardon me if I note what an utter crock of shit such a claim is full of.

Hopefully someday you'll recover from your Trump Derangement Syndrome. Meanwhile, the adults will continue to try to Make America Great Again...

Correct. It's just a little humor...

Helpful article!

“The more likely truth is that Assad was deeply afraid that the US policy shift was part of a secret deal with the Russians, one that he had to head off.”

That’s exactly what Assad’s other ally, Iran, would want him to think!

Assad was always a colonialist pausing as some kind of nationalist.

We cannot forget that Russians entered Syria as a way to negociate the situation in Ukraine. A Russian negociation on Syria would not occur without one on Ukraine.

This situation blows both out the water.

If Democrats say it was Putin helping Trump ,this is probably Putin helping Obama.

Assad and Putin were giving space to aobama to make him look strong, and they turned around to challenge Trump.

It won’t surprise me one bit to find out one that day our journalists and politicians were hoodwinked by a false flag setup>>>> i think so too. no investigation causes me to be skeptical. Then have you seen the fake rescue video from aljezeera showing the guy smiling until the camera pans him. then he fakes being head hurt.

***
What you said is the same as saying,

“Since I don’t believe KIM-JONG-UN is a threat to the US, since I don’t support regime change in North Korea and since RUSSIA is a bigger threat than KIM-JONG_UN, I am an KIM-JONG-UN Supporter.”

Ok got it. Same logic. ***

There is no logic in your reply. Assad has not ever threatened the US with nukes last I checked.
