my best guess is this is another ruse.
BTW, the rumor was it was Israeli intel.
Personally I don’t believe it and even if I did I wouldn’t care. Its not my problem.
Those who want a war need to man up, organize, and go fight on their own dime.
Should make no difference to the USA. This is a civil war and the American people don’t need to spend lives and money only to be hated regardless of which group of 7th century sand monkeys win.
Tell them to give us a call when the fighting is finished and let us know who won (like it makes any difference).
The entire Middle East is filled with low grade sub-human clans who hate each other and have done so for centuries. A few missiles launched by the Prophet Obunghole will not solve this conflict.
The USA will be hated if we support monkey A or monkey B or no monkeys so lets just save our troops and money.
And they were probably all speaking English...
Sure, you can trust us. We are the government.

What’s the difference? I have zero trust in government and given the militarization of our police, rapaciousness of our government and the recipients of its largesse, and the nationwide spying via American Internet and computer companies.
The computer companies are the ones that kill me the most. They love social engineering and manipulation... for marketing purposes only. They’ve got the heart of a porn mogul and the skills of a technomage - that spells slavery and tyranny.
Sounds to me like a rogue commander might have ordered this, if this is true. Can this still be blamed on Assad?
It’s a “slam dunk”. Also, there really was a battle in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Ultimately, the way to deal with Iranian nukes is to bomb the Iranian nuclear program, not create an al Qaeda government in Syria. Obama doesn’t want to bomb Iran, so this is the alternative we’re left with.
If a chemical unit fired without orders they are screwed. The only question is how far up the chain of command they are screwed. Overall though, sounds like bammy the illiterate (at international politics and all things military) is looking for (or manufacturing) a reason to attack Assad and save his (bammy's) backside-buddies in the MB.
We’re acting like a monkey with a hand grenade!
If the Syrian govt was in charge of this attack, WTF was the Syrian Defence Chief on the horn demanding answers about WTF happened!
D.oh!
the MEdia is obviously brain dead to keep parroting this story as justification by barry’s handlers for barry’s upcoming 3 day “shock and awe” stunt
I hardly believe a word this government of the obastard says. It is to the point that if they told me the sun would come up in the East I’d have to look to verify it.
This WH has no credibility, has spent us into bankruptcy and has an unnatural affinity with the moon-worshipping religion.
I say it’s spinach and tohellwithitandSoetero.
Syria is not our problem and we can only make things worse like Egypt and Libya.
Saddam used it on the Kurds and these people didn’t have a problem with that. He was their hero during the war.
Pray for America to Wake Up
What a bunch of BS. Reveal the name of the individual that ordered it or made that call. Let the Syrian people decide what to do after the revelation. We have not been threatened. We have no reason to act.
WWI
WWII
Korea
Vietnam
Iraq X 2
Afghanistan
We’ve lost all the above wars. The reason, I believe, is clear. Nothing was thought out before embarking on these wars fought to save another’s bacon.
WWI was fought over such convoluted reasoning that no one was certain just exactly how it began. Germany got the brunt of it and Wilson made certain that Germany would be brought so economically low that Hitler’s ascension was guaranteed. So WWII followed. The Japanese were poked with a stick by FDR like one would play with an angry crab. They finally planned and executed a sneak attack on our unprepared military at Honolulu.
If we were going to give the Russians a bloody nose, we lost our chance at the closing of WWII. FDR and Truman gave Eastern Europe to the kindly Uncle Joe and created an enemy that would last until Ronald Reagan did something about it.
Korea was fought to a stalemate and had the suits listened to Douglas MacArthur we could have stopped the Chinese and Russians dead in their tracks. Opportunity lost. We retreated.
In Vietnam we fought the communists until we were forced to evacuate.
In Iraq we nobly wanted to bring our lousy, battered version of democracy to the Iraqis and killed tens of thousands of them. The problem is that they deserved and needed the dictatorship that ruled.
In Afghanistan we managed to stay longer than the Russians. They still hate us, but they’re happy to spend our bloated bucks.
Who do these leaders we have think they are? Who wants what we call democracy today? Why do most of our leaders feel that our ‘democracy’ is imperiled as long as the rest of the world doesn’t conform to our brand? Our nation and Constitution are imperiled, but yet the leaders are eager to involve us in yet another adventure.
We should all be afraid for our nation and our lives as long as we have these brainless loons running things!
Ok... so they used nerve gas.
Was it on Americans? Nope.
Was it IN America? Uh uh.
Was it AGAINST Americans? Nada.
So...we’re involved why?
If the Commander didn’t know, then it proves it was not an authorized attack. Maybe someone rogue. But, this proves the regime did not do it
