Assad was fighting ISIS.

McCain and his Deep State GOPe buddies are aiding/funding ISIS, we’ve all seen the photos.

ISIS is intent on Christian genocide in Syria, just as it was in Iraq.

The Deep State, or the Biblical NWO One-Worlders of Psalm 2, cannot control Assad.

They’ve tricked Trump like JFK at Bay of Pigs with some weird “intel”.

And as Christians, let’s not forget that these “heathen kings of the earth” of Psalm 2, are “gaming the Bible” regarding Damascus and Isaiah 17.

Just like freaky fake Christian Geo W Bush told French President Chirac that “they had to go to war in Iraq because of ‘Gog and Magog’”...

Trump’s Bay of Pigs. Down to the exact same timeline for JFK and his bad CIA Deep State intel. April 17, 1961.

Actually, there are posters here are credulous enough to believe RT, Sputnik, and Pravda. They get mad as a hornet if you suggest that putin’s-controlled media lies and has one mission, to support putin’s propaganda campaign.

We didn’t know then what we know now so we could not bomb the plane. The article and several posters have stated as much.

That’s a good find. We have quite a sophisticated intelligence capability.

Syria wasn’t so bad until The Arab Spring came along.

Seems like that’s were it all started.

Actually, there are posters here are credulous enough to believe RT, Sputnik, and Pravda.

And there are posters here who are credulous enough to unquestioningly believe CNN, Chuckie Schumer, John McLame, and unnamed "Deep State" source, while simultaneously throwing long-term Trump supporters in the media under the bus when the news fits what they want to hear.

In the words of @POTUS:


(Please note: as long as this strike was merely a "message" to the world that they shouldn't *F* with us, I've got no problem with us, particularly after the last 8 years...regardless of the specific facts about this situation)

There are many, many people who supported Mr. Trump for @POTUS as a consequence of his statements throughout the campaign rejecting the middle eastern interventionist policies of the past 25 years...preferring a more Reaganist stance rather than a Bush/Clinton/Obama stance. Preferring a Reagan-type policy as compared to a Bush/Clinton/Obama policy does not make somebody a Russia shill.

To get some idea of who would want to sabotage relations between US and Russia, just ask yourself who would stand to lose from such a relationship.

Possible answers : China, Saudi Arabia, plus some others. And the list of suspects have money to buy politicians and reporters.

I ask again, which foreign power should have held the feds to account for CS gassing the Branch Davidians, which resulted in the slaughter of American Christian women and children at the hands of our own government? There is ample audio and FLIR video proof available. Just asking.

Larry Potts, Janet Reno, Bill & Hillary should all have been convicted for that atrocity!

> So you think that it is a complete impossibility that Assad ordered the gas-attack?

Only complete idiots believe that Assad ordered a gas attack when he had absolutely no reason to do it and so, so many reasons not to.

And an organization called Freedom House judges some countries not to be free.

Russia is not a free country.

Nor is Cuba nor North Korea.

Damascus Syria has a park honoring the North Korean regime.

Assad has used banned chemical and chlorine gas weapons and had reasons to do so again. His fighting forces are reduced to about 18,000 soldiers. He is losing the war as it is being fought. Fighting the rebels as a war of attrition, as he is, is a war Assad cannot win.

Assad mistakenly believed that Trump would not hold him accountable. And Assad wants and needs to break the will of the Syrian people. To do so, he wants to begin shifting to a war of annihilation. The purpose would be to convince the opposition that he, Assad, is immune to retribution and can strike them with anything and with impunity. Nearly a half million Syrians have died in the Civil War. Assad, like his father (see how his father dealt with Homs), will use genocide if he can escape the consequences. The fact that some will believe Assad would not have a reason to do this and that he didn’t do it even when we have forensic and Signal Intelligence proving he did means he has supporters on his side even though he’s a mass murderer who kills without discriminating combatants from non-combatants.

The deep state uses it’s designated virtual media arm, demonstrating to the elected officials who is really in charge.

The only “leaks” should be from the intelligence community to the elected officials responsible for handling it, and that handling includes a responsibility to question it, and question it again.

“Only complete idiots believe that Assad ordered a gas attack when he had absolutely no reason to do it and so, so many reasons not to.”

So Assad buys ISIS oil, Assad allowed Jihadists to attack American and Coalition forces in Iraq, Jihadists to have camps in Syria, harbored the Nazi Alois Brunner, harbored Saddam’s brother, was accused by numerous sources including Iraq’s president of allowing terrorist attacks against Iraq, funnels weapons from Iran to Hezbollah including missiles which are then fired into Israel hundreds of times, is in a state of war still with Israel.

And all you can come up with is an ad hom stating Assad would not do this? Glad we have experts here.

When your whole argument rests on Assad controlling the jihadists that are trying to overthrow him, maybe your understanding of the facts of the situation is inadequate.

It’s amazing that you put that whole thing together without a single element of it being true.

Do you get your news anywhere except CNN, NYT, WashPost?
