I want to say that we are making a very serious mistake unless we have absolute proof of a chemical attack on their own citizens. There are factors here that need to be considered. First , Assad turned over all WMD to the Russians 6 years ago. . Second, the attack recently alleged about the use of Sarin gas was COMPLETELY debunked as a fabrication. It was so amateurish that “white Helmet” were walking among the “dead” with no hazmat suits , meaning they would die instantly. Third. The alleged gassing in North East Syria was actually a Syrian /Russian jet that bombed an Isis Warehouse where ISIS made chlorine bombs for use in Mosul Iraq where they exploded over 80 chlorine munitions, many killing their own Sunnis . General Mattis has absolutely admitted the munitions were an ISIS factory hit by the bombing.
I predicted that John Bolton would be part of the NEO CON effort to drag us into a war in Syria but what we are witnessing now is far more serious in that Russia ( invited there by the sovereign government) is taking steps to hit American soldiers if we are naive enough to fall for this canard. ANY ATTACK ON SYRIA IS AN ACT OF WAR AND ILLEGAL AGGRESSION. It mandates an act of Congress and absolute undeniable proof of Syria/Russian involvement ( which would be a first). Trump needs to get good facts UP FRONT!!
Even if we have irrefutable proof of a gas attack, I don’t care. Not worth 1 American life.
Hear hear!
Outstanding post!

Even if there was such proof, I am unmoved. We call the Saudi filth “friends” and “allies”, when those subhumans are still perpetrating crucifixions and decapitations as a matter of xslamic “law”. Filthy beasts. The hypocrisy is nauseating. The Saudi atrocities are uncontested. Known. Boasted of. Neocons are even lower beasts than the Wahabbists in their deceit and hypocrisy.
1. except for the cannisters photographed on Russian jets after the 6yrago deadline, eh?
2. The Hague verified sarin; the UN agreed, and obviously, death wasn’t instantaneous, but rather gruesome (not everyone in the ‘95 Japan subway sarin attack died instantly either)
3. The ‘warehouse’ was empty and unused and no Mattis hasn’t
4. The President can declare a 60-day war at any time under the 1973 War Powers Act - giving Congress notice within 48 hours after the fact.
Probably better for you to stick to FR for the facts
No, they did not turn over all of their WMD. Look it up. Russia was supposed to oversee its removal. Yeah, like that happened. There is plenty of proof that it did not.
Thank you. Please tell Trump.
