Syria 'chemical attack': Trump pledges 'forceful' US response

US President Donald Trump has promised a "forceful" response to the alleged chemical attack in Syria, as Western leaders consider what action to take.

"We have a lot of options militarily," he told reporters. He added that a response would be decided "shortly".

Mr Trump said the US was getting some "good clarity" on who was responsible for the incident in Douma on Saturday.

Medical sources say dozens were killed in the alleged attack but exact numbers are impossible to verify.

Mr Trump also discussed the incident with French President Emmanuel Macron late on Monday, and both leaders expressed a desire for a "firm response", the Elysee Palace said.

The AFP news agency quoted French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux as saying on Tuesday that "if a red line had been crossed, there will be a response", adding that intelligence shared by the two leaders "in theory confirms the use of chemical weapons".

CIA false flag. The swamp creature did it.
Who wants us to go to war here?

Trump has, in an otherwise spectacular presidency, two huge,
intractable blunders: Syria 1 & Syria 2. Led astray by generals.

Instead of 59 cruise missiles, how about 2 or three tomahawks targeting Assad’s palace?

Re: Medical sources say dozens were killed in the alleged attack but exact numbers are impossible to verify.

I disagree.

Every Syrian resident is required to have an ID Card.

Lay the ID on the victim’s chest and take a photo of the dead body. Then, just count the bodies.

Also, in a chemical attack, the victims would be tightly clustered in one neighborhood, so the address on each victim’s card would most likely be from the same area.

If the addresses are not the same, then a compelling explanation is required.

Anyway, since we have no verifiable evidence of any kind, I’m hoping that the new NSA, John Bolton, will explain the strategic logic behind Assad’s repeated, but completely useless, chemical attacks.

Worried. About the old Palestinian fake bodies? it’s a great money maker, so I think you’re right.

Will the “American Legion of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” do its duty for the authentic brand of Islam-Sunni Wahabbi Islam and defeat the heretics of Shia Islam from Iran???????

” in theory” confirms the use of CW = all we have is video produced by al Qaeda

” medical sources” = White Helmets “ moderate rebel” publicity team busted in numerous staged “ attacks’

[silverleaf]

I havent read yet that any bodies have been produced
Thousands of civilians held prisoner have left Douma in the past 3 days
Heading for govt centers for family reunification

Last I read none report a chemical attack
Syria Red Crescent on site reports no bodies or evidence
Where is CNN?

False flag refers to covert operations designed to deceive; the deception creates the appearance of a particular party (group or nation) being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility.

[Terry Mross]

The problem I have is I don’t trust our intelligence agencies. I’ve always known they lie to the American people. But I believe they’ll do everything they can to bring down Trump.

Very interesting report
Please look beyond the Syrian News sourceline

Note the observations about the video” evidence”’ released by these groups that are driving the US To ATTACK SYRIA and drag along France, UK and u/i “ middle eastern” country as cover
Also observations about the White Helmets and “ medical sources”’being used as sources of info about these “ attacks”

The more time goes on, the more I doubt the Spanish sunk the Maine, in Havana harbor. In this case, I think Asad and Putin, are total, complete a$$ hole, scum sucking dirt bags. Asad, as much a scum bag as he is, is perfectly capable of using chemical weapons. The question is, did he?
He and Putin probably lie 95% of the time, but did he? Was there even an attack at all? Tucker Carlson is probably right. When there is widespread agreement, between rats and RINOs, it’s time to hold up, and do a little more soul searching, before risking possibly starting a world war.

They want him embroiled in a conflict along with the rest of the sh## they are throwing at him.

Wonder if John Bolton and Nikki Haley have seen this?
They who will take us to bomb Syria’s govt to “ save the people”

Trump’s time would be far better spent destroying the DOJ and the FBI. They are a far greater threat than Syria.
