IF we were wrong, we blew up a lot of Syrian chemical weapons on mis-information.
Hmmm, is there a downside to this?
One guy interviewed in TV news said they blew up his lifetime of pharmaceutical research.
There were no chemical weapons in the buildings we hit. Multiple sources confirm this, including OPCW & videos taken at the sites in the hours following the strikes.
If the intelligence was bad to begin with, how do we know what was blown up? Unfortunately, U.S. intelligence has been having a problem with credibility lately. Intelligence is vital for an effective foreign policy. Remember when the Iraqis were throwing babies out of incubators? Most people still believe that Reagan killed Qadaffi’s daughter. The Nazis made human lampshades. The Soviets were not responsible for the Katyn Forest Massacre.
If you want the USA to act—have the people you want blown up blamed for a poison gas attack! Make some great heart wrenching videos—and there you go. Putin, make a video of Ukrainans gassing a Russian Orphanage —lots of coughing children. Weeping nuns, Your special effects people can come up with something really convincing. Pali’s Make a Video of Israelis Gassing a village, lots of women and children, video of screaming and painful scenes—Your people have loads of actors and experience. Then the US will Bomb Israel! Conservatives, Make a video of Cartel people gassing Americans, lots of weeping, terrible stuff, and trump will Bomb Mexican Cartels centers! This can get really out of control fast.
Great question.
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).
The MSM will accuse Trump of bad judgement based on lack of any valid military intelligence.
If true.. the MSM will disparage Trump and Mattis as being uniformed and risking involving America in war.
