Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has said "terrorists are celebrating" US strikes on a Syrian airbase.

His comments echo the response from Russia, which like Iran is allied to Syria, and from Syria itself.

At least six people are reported to have been killed in the missile strikes in the early hours of Friday.

The strikes followed Wednesday's suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun, in which 89 people are reported to have died.

At the finish line, either civilized society will be destroyed,or radical IsIslamust be obliterated. The two can’t exist simultaneously.

Well, so far Muslims are increasing in number worldwide; sharia law is spreading.

Why wouldn't al-Qaeda be celebrating? We attacked an airfield that was used to wage war against them.

Because we attacked air airfield used to attack civilians. Since ISIS and al-Qaeda do little else other than attacking civilians, they have been put on notice, as has Assad, that we aren't standing idly by anymore, and letting them run wild. Need anything else explained?

Amen. I think most intelligent people know this but refuse to admit it. Those people had best be quick on their feet when the islams get uppity.

Me? The hair on the trigger against the islams is old, gray and weak.

In reviewing the Syria bombing ordered by President Donald J. Trump yesterday, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche condemned it in the strongest terms possible. President Trump received a fraudulent briefing on the event itself—asserting that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for a chemical weapons attack on his own population – despite the fact that U.S. military forces on the ground in Syria knew that the chemicals came from an Al-Qaeda base, as stated by Russia and Syria. President Trump was lied to by individuals in his national security/intelligence chain of command. The sources utilized to claim Syrian culpability for the attack are exclusively British, the same people who are coordinating the international attack on Trump’s Presidency, in an effort to destroy any positive potential for relationships with Russia and China to rebuild the U.S. and world economy. This was a violation of international law. Trump was setup. “The British set this in motion against the entire human race,” Lyndon LaRouche emphasized.

LaRouche said the Trump must immediately seek out those responsible for the fraud and fire them. A United Nations investigation of the incident must occur immediately. Following both, a war crimes prosecution would be appropriate. The President should never listen to the British. It is not accidental that this setup occurred right when the President was meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping—a meeting which has the British and their Wall Street allies completely apoplectic—a meeting which could portend a new and peaceful paradigm for economic and scientific progress.

LaRouche PAC is coordinating a national mobilization against this fraud, telling the President to fire those responsible, and return to the sound American system premises of his Presidency, not the World War III policies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Nothing less than the continued viability of his presidency is at stake. We are also demanding that the United Nations immediately investigate.

According to numerous intelligence community sources who have commented or who have been interviewed by LaRouche PAC, active duty U.S. forces on the ground in Syria knew that this was not a Syrian government chemical attack. The Syrians hit an Al-Qaeda base which was storing chemical weapons used by the terrorists. U.S. forces on the ground reported that it was not a Syrian chemical weapons attack up the chain of command. The United States had been notified of the Syrian mission before it took place and knew about the Syrian targeting. Someone either deliberately lied to the President about this information or kept it from him.

The on the ground intelligence purporting to document a chemical weapons attack by the Syrian Air Force came from the White Helmets group, created by the British, financed by the British Defense Ministry, and totally penetrated by and supporting ISIS and Al Nusra terrorists. The other cited “proof” comes from the Syrian Human Rights Observatory which consists of a single individual, residing in London, who is notorious for widely disseminating inaccurate information.

**********************
Not only that, we attacked a nation that had not attacked us first and had not been attacking its neighbors, without giving them a chance to present their case for false flag before an impartial tribunal. The fact that we spotted a drone nearby and some activity at the airfield before the gas release proves nothing. We were more interested in moral posturing against dead babies, and showing that the era of Obama weakness was over, than asking who has the most to gain from this attack.

We didn’t just get in the middle. We displayed support to ISIS aligned Sunni countries.

Whether it can be termed as the President being lied to is debatable. But whether this had something to do with Bannon being sidelined by Kusher is noteworthy.
