I was trying to answer you both at once and just totally botched it. My apologies, but I think you get my point.

In this piece by Clarice Feldman in The American Thinker, she lays out that the intelligence agencies used the time from Trump's first talking about a strike to when it actually happened to listen in on intercepted communications of all parties as they all withdrew from the region. They knew what was happening on the ground.

Probably the same reporter that was in Damascus the night of the strike. He produced a video of people hanging out in cafes, and said most of them said they like Americans and don’t understand why the U.S. is striking their country.

As we know the Syrians and others there will say anything.....weeding out what’s true or not is another story.

I agree.
Although I respect, and like, OANN - I wouldn't trust what any 'on the ground' Syrian has to say about what is going on over there. I also don't trust what bill of goods our CIA (or the Brits) sold President Trump to justify this excursion. President Trump should just stick with his instincts and untangle us from Syrian involvement. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be used as proxies by our Saudi bankers.

Yes, Assad is brutal - but he's better than McCain's and Lyndsey's ISIS buddies. And I'm OK with the Ruskies meddling in the area. At least they'll support the local Christians.

The MSM gave us days of live testimony proving there were WMDs in Iraq. Couldn’t it give us 20 minutes, at minimum,to reveal the evidence for this alleged chlorine attack by Assad?

I agree. I think the worst thing about the situation is Iran and their Hezbollah being there. The Russians are just interested in having access to a port, from what I’ve read.

It still doesn’t make any sense. His army was already taking the city back just fine without gassing civilians.

They haven't even been able to force a decision in Ukraine or Syria.

Re: Duh — because it is a lot easier to wipe your enemies that way and, with Russia’s help, he has gotten away with it before.

In that case, since Assad is a war criminal, there is no reason that Trump cannot the release the evidence.

After all, Trump will have to release the evidence at Assad’s International Criminal Court trial.

When Trump releases the evidence, I’ll read it, and make up my own mind.

Only if they were really baby formula factories. /s

It seems from my feed that they couldn’t even waste a missile on Assad’s office building...

Trump was hoodwinked on this one. If the man has any character at all, he’ll be hopping mad by the end of the week (if it takes that long).

“...staged to help the rebels escape.”


Brilliant. In hindsight, it exposes a deeper understanding of the West by ISIS than I thought.

Better that Trump got that out of his system on something rather mundane, but being snookered by your military & intelligence is a double-edged sword...

Yes, a lot of reasons to doubt the claims. Someone somewhere is feeding Trump lies.
