“Congressional Gang-of-Eight”

Why in bloody hell is Trump acting as if these self-appointed obstructionists deserve any recognition at all?

We never have to get permission from the UN to do anything. The UN has no authority over sovereign governments.

If they were warned an hour in advance, I doubt there were any planes still sitting there. Probably didn’t have time to move all the chemicals though.

....”Why is gas worse than shooting, starving, beheading, burning alive, crucifying or bombing? “......

All weapons of warfare are inhumane by their very nature.....

Well for one reason once released they can’t be controlled.... Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear weapons kill indiscriminately on an entire different level..... it’s certainly possible to imagine a chemical weapon used in Syria blowing south into Jordan....they have an escalation path that leads to the extermination of humans as a species.....they kill large numbers of people all at once including the unintended.

Additionally, the effects of these weapons do not disappate. The area can remain affected for days, weeks, even years. Basically, the reason NBCs are considered different is they aren’t used tactically to do things like destroy your opponent’s ability to wage war against you, they’re simply used to cause as much suffering and devastation as possible.

Shit. Why did he do this. He doesn’t know this was Assad? Warmongers like McCain are happy I bet.

Oh Donald, doing the work of the neocons. I thought Hillary would risk war with Russia over a Syrian civil war and more fake news rigged against Assad. Very disappointed and thinking this is why Bannon and the populists are being replaced with establishment neocons.

Neither am I. So did DJT act out of emotional images - since the intelligence doesn’t prove Assad was behind this.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to repeal the damn agreement that sends billions to Iran?

He risked WWIII with Russia over fake news about Assad doing this attack for what again? To pick sides and nation build? What’s next. Feet on the ground?

Iran with nukes is not our problem. Europe is much closer.

This makes Trump no better than Hillary. Many voted against Hillary to avoid this scenario. Very sad.

The Iran agreement is a worthless, non binding stack of papers.

Obama unilaterally dissolved US sanctions on Iran and more importantly, led the charge to dissolve the UN sanctions on Iran.

He them released billions of dollars of frozen assets to Iran

The money is long gone to Iran and the UN is totally against resuming sanctions against Iran.

The barn doors are open and that horse has long left the barn.

Which I think is why the populists, Bannon, are out, and warmongering generals are in.

Well, I sure hope to God he didn’t do this as an emotional response of “beautiful babies”. BB dies every day every where.
