I just turned the radio on to Hugh Hewitt this morning and he was interviewing the wonderful Lindsey Graham. Hugh Hewitt was filled with excitement and saying Will trump absolutely must attack Syria now! Of course Lindsay was saying the Trump must attack Assad.
What do you think about how much these guys have such a predictable knee-jerk reaction to I guess at act like this
Let’s wait and see how the President comes down on this. Don’t get ahead of the story.
You fight, as in the people who signed up to fight.
Fixed it for you.
Yes, Grahamnesty says we must bomb away in every snake pit middle eastern country but we must not by any means secure our own southern border. He clearly does not have the interests of the U.S. uppermost in his feeble mind.
I posted this on another thread; fits here too:
This is all a staged farce, as was the last alleged chemical attack by Assad. How convenient, when the Syrian “opposition forces”, themselves bad players chock full of Muzzie terrorists, are on the ropes, that they bring out the old saw of a chemical attack to gain the world’s attention in their attempt to overthrow Assad, who is on the verge of victory in one of the final, if not the final holdout rebel cities.
And the fools in the western block all swallow this whole, with absolutely no proof that Russian backed Assad had anything to do with this chemical attack. Those chemicals could just as easily been strategically stockpiled by the rebel forces to explode upon bombing by gov’t forces, unleashing gasses so that rebels could use this as a propaganda tool against Assad. There are no angels here.
Same with Putin being blamed on flimsy proof at best in the attack on the Russian spy agent in the U.K. No real proof Putin was behind that attack, but blame him anyway. No proof of Russian collusion in the attack on the DNC head quarters or of meddling in any major way in our 2016 elections, but blame Putin anyway.
Hence the Dems have succeeded, along with help from some cold war mentality warriors that still permeate our gov’t on the Pub side, in starting up a new cold war where Prez Trump had such high hopes of reaching detente with Putin and having better relations with a still super power status country co-existing on our globe. In their amoral desire to gain political advantage against Trump, the Dems have reignited a new Cold War, with help from the likes of John McCain and other venal players with ulterior political motives of their own. Or those older politicians still locked into a permanent cold war strategy who can’t think outside the box and will continue to see Russia as the forever enemy.
Trump’s gut instinct to seek better relations with Putin/Russia is 100 percent right, but has been destroyed and trashed as a rational policy by lying Dems and mind locked old cold warriors incapable of seeing another way of dealing with Russia other than the way they were politically raised during the real cold war of the past.
If I were Putin, I’d be super PO’d with how the pendulum is swinging here, as I truly believe he too was seeking better relations with the U.S. after Trump won the Presidential Election. All those hopes for cooperation between our countries are now dashed.
Funny how those chemical gas attacks in Syria have supposedly affected primarily only the “women and children.” How is it these gases haven’t bumped off hundreds of male rebel fighters in Syria; we just see pictures of these rebel fighters running around carrying children to makeshift hospitals on video. How is it those male fighters themselves are still able to run into those allegedly gassed areas without croaking or being affected themselves, hmmmm?
Why only pics of women and children being affected? Have your heartstrings been pulled sufficiently while seeing these so obviously staged videos? If people think these rebel troops fighting Assad are pure as the driven snow, then you folks are incredibly gullible.
Just put on your thinking caps for one moment, and ask what would Putin have to gain by having the Russian double agents bumped off in the U.K. at such a politically disadvantageous time when seeking better relations with the western world?
Why would a chemical attack be launched by Assad w/Putin’s backing, when they are on the verge of final victory against the rebels in attacking their last stronghold suburb outside the city of Damascus. Why would they choose to use chemical weapons when they were winning without them, hmmmm? Maybe because of staged actions by the rebels to turn western world opinion against them and slow down or stop or win propaganda points against Putin/Assad at a vital point in the Syrian war when the rebels are about to lose it all. Think folks, think about this and use logic, not emotion when forming your opinions.
Gas attacks in Syria are part of it.
That was a pretty stupid reply. I actually asked you the question because it seems the US government is pretty well convinced who did this. In any event. Don’t bother replying as I think I already have my answer based on your question.
What? President Trump referred to "Animal Assad"! It's President Trump who got ahead of determining the truth.
You wish Lindsey was president and not Trump. Or better yet McCain. Don’t you.

A reporter from CNN, Frederik Pleitgen visited Ghouta on March 7th, saw the rebel chemical lab, but never reported it.
Not surprised.
I'm not buying that. People are dying because of McCain's Terrorists and we have invasion troops in Syria fighting with them. And now it's been reported that Israel bombed a Syrian air base. Benghazi has disappeared from the news...what did happen with the weapons transported from there?
FWIW, CSPAN's call-in this AM about Bolton was close as can be to a total hour of informed callers not believing this last war-mongering staged incident.
The presumption of innocence, sometimes referred to by the Latin expression ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
But not with you Neocons.
Au contraire mon ami, you have the problem with President Trump calling Assad an Animal and promising a Big Price to pay, not moi.
I am quite satisfied here thus far.
Lindsey Graham would sell his own mother down the river if he thought for one minute that it would better his position...
Europhiles love Obama and Hillary.
I hope some actual evidence is found and publically shown before we jump back in and bomb whatever.
One simple question that needs to be answered about the chemical attack: Who gains?
“I am quite satisfied here thus far.”
You sound just like one of those Neocons.
*** I think Lindsay gets a hard-on thinking of all those attractive young men dying overseas somewhere. ***
If you have watched him during the Senate hearings on Syria, you would have no doubt about that. Disturbing to watch, and realize he sits in a seat of power.
