It makes more sense for Assad to be framed.
He possibly didn’t need to be framed at all. If the media wants to report it, they will report it no matter what.
But yet he did. And response he got.
The man needs to go with his ample gut.
Assad needs to ask for a refund for the dud WMDs. All the risk, negative press, international outrage and military pushback involved with using them and all he achieves is 83 killed and ? wounded? Kind of weird we haven’t been given any actual number on the wounded. But hey, that’s what we’re being told.
5 dozen tomahawks demonstrating capabilities says he might have.
Bashar al-Assad just gassed his own people, then bombed the clinic treating victims
A poison gas attack in Syria has killed at least 74 — including 16 women and 23 children — and wounded over 350.
How can you say “THERE IS NO DOUBT ASSAD DID IT”? I have seen not one bit of proof. Where is the HD video showing the planes, the markings and target with a time stamp? THAT would be close to proof to me, at least enough to target Syria.
Saddam had WMDs. Many were found and disposed of by the US military, others were sent to Syria and Israel whacked them a couple of years later.
He also had an entire nuclear weapons research center in Libya of which the world’s intelligence services were clueless.
Saddam was very dangerous, the King of Terror in fact, when he was removed Libya wisely gave up all their WMDs and the nuclear materials at the research center.
RATmedia reported that development once or twice perfering the Bush Lied crap which sadly you apparently believe.
Why would the left use something proposed as policy by its Presidential candidate to attack Trump? President Trump was doing the bidding of the left, which does include McCain, Graham and now the man ho’ from Flo’rida.
Libya wisely gave up all their WMDs and the nuclear materials at the research center
Wisely?
Did you see the pentagon brief that showed the recorded flight paths of the planes with date time stamps? It was publicly released. I know the systems that collect and assemble that data. It’s real and it’s proof. The systems that collect that data and the raw data behind it are held classified so that the means to collect it are not lost or compromised. The end product is usually held as well, except when it’s decided that it can be released without compromising the collection capability and it has value in making the case for the action taken. Just because you don’t get to see HD video you think it’s faked? I’d less believe video because that can all be CGI faked.
Sure, the Colonel did not want to be next on our SSSS list.
It makes it much more than a 50/50 proposition if we trust the man we elected President. Thus far, there is absolutely no reason not to, and indeed ample reason for trusting him.
Apparently some would rather err on the side that Trump is easily led/naive/a globalist/a liar/etc.
Precisely. And all we've seen so far is evidence that totally repudiates such a notion. So, again, those who would "err" on that side are exposing their latent NeverTrump tendencies.
In my town, when the Leftwing, radicalized NYT and Daily News run side-by-side, full front pages depicting an “atrocity,” that’s the fraudulent MSM dictating its marching orders regardless of substance.
I’m okay with Trump’s response — it resolves multiple issues. But hopefully the head of the deserving snake is cut off first.
Assad wouldn’t be hurt by blue helmets coming in and maintaining the status quo- at this point. Syria will never be restored. The Kurds and others have achieved too much.
Iran won’t mind either as a divided Syria is weak and conquerable.
Russia and China though would suffer loss.
You’re right that makes no sense. The left loves Trump and all of their criticisms to date have been uber rational.
And of course they went out of their way to praise GW Bush when he gave them exactly what they wanted like billion dollar education programs, promises to sign the AWB and other programs they had longed for.
That’s the left I know, always supportive when Pubbies give them what they want.
So does Assad have (self) destructive motives in your opinion?
Sure, the Colonel did not want to be next on our SSSS list.
Wasn’t he?
Thus far, there is absolutely no reason not to, and indeed ample reason for trusting him.
I agree 100%. I've been asked why I didn't support 0bozo when he threatened the same thing. Because I absolutely distrusted everything he said and did even when it appeared to be the right thing to do. IMO Trump says what he means and means what he says. 0bozo didn't. Ever. For that assessment of their respective characters I have been accused of Cult of Personality worship of Trump. I guess trusting a man, when no reason exists not to, is cult worship.
He bought a few years and we didn’t have much to do with his removal, it was the French who were the prime movers there and Hussein couldn’t resist following.
