Conservative talk show host, Michael Savage, who fervently supported Trump during the Presidential campaign, soured on him today. Savage, referencing his background in science, having a PhD in epidemiology, said the alleged gas attack in the ISIS controlled city of Idlib was most likely phosgene and not sarin.
Backing up his claim that the attack did not contain sarin, Savage made reference to photos showing first responders attending to bodies without gloves or protective gear. Had sarin been used in the attack, all of those men in white helmets would be dead.
In nearly a 15 minute soliloquy over the attack, Savage lamented that the neocon 'military tweet' by Trump was a ploy to increase his popularity, in light of falling poll numbers. Verbosely, Savage hemmed and hawed with disappointment, dispirited that he spent over a year advocating for Trump, who said he eschewed the interventionist policies of people like McCain, Graham, and Schumer, only to cave in shortly after winning the Presidency.
Savage also questioned the timing of Jared Kushner's trip to Iraq, coupled with Bannon's timely demotion from the NSC -- just ahead of the attacks as being highly suspicious.
"This whole thing stinks to high heaven,' said Savage. Furthering his criticism of the President, Savage proclaimed: "It looks like Hillary, deep state won, and Trump is doing her bidding."
As it pertained to who was responsible for the attack, Savage reminded his audience that just last week Putin was considered to be the smartest and most diabolical man on earth. If so, why on earth would he permit Assad to launch a chemical weapons attack, when they had already defeated the rebels, which was sure to turn public opinion against them?
"Why would he do it, you morons you?", said Savage.
Who are we supporting? According to Lindsey Graham, the 'free Syrian army.'
Savage exploded: "The free Syrian Army? There is no such thing. The free Syrian Army are our moderate terrorists created by the CIA and John McCain. John McCain and Lindsey Graham are the mouthpieces for this army of murderers."
"The west jumped to a conclusion, before there was any investigation."
A must listen to a voice of reason.
There may be more swamp draining to do, this time in the Pentagon. “You’re fired” anyone? It is inexcusable if they misled Donald. His eyes and ears should not be playing tricks on him even if God is watching miraculously over him.
Given the more or less continues air and drone ops over Syria by the US, the track of the aircraft that dropped the WMD was known to the US. So the source of the raid was clear.
He should stick to epidemiology because he is factually incorrect about sarin.
I think you have the best or most likely take on this event.
The bombing was done for many different reasons, with compassion being only one of them.
This is true. Something needed fixed. This should not be possible.
Those appear to be Russian PMK gas masks and that appears to be Russian language on the containers and the walls btw.
(2) BUT...I think Trump KNOWS this, and did it anyway because the minimal attack solved MASSIVE problems for him, sent a huge signal to China and North Korea, while handing him an easy re-load of political capital. If this "outrages" people they are naive in the extreme about how the world really works (re: Michael Corleone quote to Kay in Godfather II).l
(3) What Savage did was DISGUSTING. He actually went on a rant against ISRAEL, saying Trump did it for THEM. This unleashed a torrent of disturbing Neo-Nazi calls that he had to hang up on, starting with a guy saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" (by slaughtering Jews in the Holocaust).
(4) The unhinged Savage/Jones/Milo types need to realize what Trump is up against, and trust that this is just a 3D chess move. We are NOT going to send troops there, or escalate, and don't be surprised if Trump gets this conflict ended in the next 18 months.
I stand by my Commander In Chief.
Thank God we finally have one!
I don’t understand why Assad would do this; we are missing something..
Inside what?
Which Sundance article? The one where he calls us nuts because we dont like the lib faction in the WH.?
I guess I should love jaime gorelick now???????. Lolol. NEVER
Oh, sorry—the containers.
Really a stretch there...
Could well be.
I certainly don’t trust the face-value story here at all.
Perfectly stated. We can only hope and pray that when Tillerson goes to Moscow, and doors for negotiation are open. The false Russia narrative has kept Trump from having the dialogue he promised us, with Putin. It's left Trump to a great degree surrounded by globalist war-mongering crazies.
I agree although this may have major consequences.
Trumps strategy is twofold IMHO. First, he shows the world that he is willing to use military force to do the things he thinks necessary. This separates him from Obama and resets US foreign policy. Secondly, he stands up against Russia and kills the Russian Collusion meme for good. I expect we will hear very little more about the Russians “hacking our election.”

I hope it works out that way. Trump spanked Syria but doesn’t envision having to wrestle it to the mat.
Best response on the thread.
Donald will not brook disloyalty or any other cr*p.
He would never have used expensive assets if he did not believe it was important or necessary.
Good point. Dead is dead.
