What possible motivation would Assad have for gassing anyone at this point? With Russia's help, they were clobbering Isis and their allies.

The official story stinks to high heaven.

Get ready to be destroyed.

I was. I just don’t care.

I never said i dislike everything Trump has done. Far from.

But that doesn’t matter.

You will be called all kinds of nasty things :)

I enjoyed reading them :)

The Syrian Gas Attack Persuasion

Scott Adams wonders why Assad would want to commit "suicide by Trump".

This stinks to high heaven.

This has been my concern all along. And now the article has disappeared at the link...

Did you guys hear what Trump said tonight? Attack Syria because “beautiful children” dead. Ya, for the children card again. Another Obama or Bush speech. Who is his speech writer now? Where is Steve Miller?

Zero Hedge has been very negative about Trump actions.

I don’t consider them to be an even handed presenter of news any longer.

In watching coverage tonight, I understood that there is some sort of footage of the attack occurring. Not sure who shot it or what kind of footage it is, nor did I see it, but that’s what I understood.

So if it exists, I’ll be interested to see it.

Trump stated tonight that Assad has used Gas a number of times over recent months. That’s something I’m not seeing reported.

Assad may hit a rebel storage facility at some point, but it’s not likely he will time and time again.

It seems there may have been more reason to suspect him than we have been told prior to this.

Doesn’t matter. If ISIS were the culprits I’d still Tomahawk Assad.

He needs to wipe out ISIS from his territory. Can’t have them running around with chemical weapons.

If Assad can’t do it then maybe he is not the ruthless strongman that we thought he was.

Gee I dunno- why has Assad killed civilians in the past?

The attack also came in the aftermath of a trip by Senator John McCain to meet with groups known to associate with radical jihadist factions in Syria,

There's the story

This is not going to end well - smells like a trap the Dark Side set up and Trump fell into it - Not good.

This swill put us at ends with Russia - VERY NOT GOOD

Given that this is the third time this trick has been pulled, and, as before, there is no motive for Assad to do such a thing, the chances that the Syrians actually used chemical weapons is about as close to zero as it gets.

You’re trying to apply reason and rationale to an area of the world that’s lousy with insanity and tinhorn dictators.

Not sure what to think but no harm done destroying chemical weapons munitions. Unless it further disperses the chemicals in the air as an unintended consequence.

The heartbreaking pictures circulating are effective tools ffor support, but I do notice that in the pictures the medical and treatment areas have what appears to me to have U.K. Made supplies .... in a rebel held area. Not sure which faction these rebels are. If Assad is really so stupid to use chem weapons at this stage of the game, well, so be it.

I have to wonder what President Trump would have done with the intelligence information received by then President (W) Bush before Iraq War. At any rate, something isn't quite right here but like I said no harm done getting rid of some chem munitions. However, doesn't this cripple Assads Air Force and ability to defend by air the radical rebel groups who we just helped wipe out? It's all crazy

Apparently the Israelis know the name of the Syrian pilot who dropped the Saran gas bombs. This really is a Syrian attack and not a false flag.

Obama and Rice have claimed the WMD gas was rid of in Syria thanks to their wonderful efforts.

The US and our allies, the Kurds and Arabs in the Free Syrian Army, are the ones taking it to ISIS. assad and putin have used all these years to go after forces not aligned with ISIS, but fighting assad. Their mission is single purposed. Save assad. Save Russian military interests in Syria.

The chemical attacks assad launched are in keeping with the cynical mindset of a tyrant, think Stalin or Hitler. What these types do often does not make sense to sensible people and never to ethical people. Being cruel and getting away with it empowers them in the eyes of their supporters and is designed to break the will of the opposition. If no one can help the innocent, despite how brazen the crime is, then why have the will to fight back. Submit. This how you break and defeat an enemy when you're unconstrained by morality.

Many people heard of the Holocaust as happened. They refused to believe it. It was just propaganda, skeptics said. But only a fool or a malicious person denies it now. Sometimes the ugly and irrational truth is true.

I think Trump saw an incredible opportunity here, to project power and resolve, right at a most opportune time, while meeting with what is arguably the most important leader that Trump needs to make an impression on in the world.

I have to remain sober, like my tag. We brought Trump to the dance, I'm sticking by him.
