LIVE DISCUSSION THREAD

[MinuteGal]

If the administration had solid evidence they'd be shouting it from the highest housetops....and they'd hire pilots to skywrite it over every major city in the 57 states.

They have no proof....and they know it. All we're getting now is razzle-dazzle and beanbag.

what is distince is the MB is losin the war so we gotta lie and use USA money to win for the MB which is really Obbnuts

[Toespi]

Major Garret just asked a toughly. Hundreds of thousands of innocents have died in Syria. What makes the difference how the deaths were delivered now. (Paraphrasing). Very Hillaryesque.

[LibLieSlayer]

Inner demon causes that.

“Still waiting for intelligence assessment on culpability”

I don’t believe we will ever get it [evidence who], and if we do, I question if it will be trustworthy.

US, Britain, France, Germany all willing to take action without it. It is obvious that it doesn’t matter WHO used them, only that they were used.

we are watchin a turd wag the turd

[penelopesire]

Notice how Carney keeps using the word ‘against international norm’...not ‘against international law’ . Legal weasel words in event they get caught.

[Toespi]

He has said at least six times......the regime has maintained control of the stockpile and they alone have the ability to deliver them. (Unless of course the rebels have their own abilities, provided by the US)

[advertising guy]

CNN just F’d up ...Richard Haas just said Syrian opposition is not yet ready to take over.....oops...there is your hurdle and timeline

[penelopesire]

Haha..Freudian slip from Carney clown just now...he said that those that say these events are staged are very credible....lol.

[Grampa Dave]

Someone brought up the same point on Fox News.

If true the 1000 deaths by WMDs is sad, however how about the several 100,000 civilians killed in the Syrian civil war?

What makes these 1,000 deaths so much more important than a 100 or more times deaths?

[Toespi]

Violation of international norm keeps coming up, is now being asked what that means.

[thouworm]

lol...and MB gets the prize...if they can keep it (because we all know they are most moderate, rational, democratic-thinking Muslims).

Where’s that Clapper clown statement when I need it. Didn’t he compare the MB to a secular Kiwanis Club...or some such nonsense. No one called him on that big lie.

[CMB_polarization]

For once I wish the west would pull out of the middle east and let the chips fall where they may - oil be damned.

“Man, that cartoon gave me nightmares when I was a kid.”

For me it was Gumby! I knew things didn’t move like that!

[advertising guy]

I just realized the real reason we are hearin this is chemical weapons are in theatre by ALL SIDES and ya cannot get Assad’s throne with that in the air

[Toespi]

Congress being consulted. Does Congress need to approve anything......

[Chickensoup]

Liars liars liars

Even the NYT comments are negative. I wonder how long those will be permitted?

[penelopesire]

I am behind..had to rewind to hear something else.

[soycd]

I suspect the rebels first and other interests afters that. Anyone other than Syria, because they have nothing to gain from using chemicals and everything to lose. Eliminate the snackbar rebels and let Syria clean up any residual trash.
