“The current thought that Assad didn’t do it would also have to mean Trump is being played and fooled by the deep state false flag and that he’s stupidly blaming Russia/Assad. “
I don’t believe our intelligence agencies have any knowledge of the perp. But they have a LOT of wishful thinking, a fervent hope that it was Assad.
While Assad may have done this, POTUS should not just make the assertion, but provide the American people the evidence. Radio intercepts. Radar tracks of Syrian planes.
Whatever they have.
When the stakes are as high as this, in the past the US has divulged Top Secret means and methods.
I cite the Cuba Missile Crisis as an example.
And the flip side of that is the Tonkin Gulf Incident and Iraqi WMD. Both farces carried out by our intelligence agencies to lead us to war, maybe even deceive the Congress and POTUS.
A year ago the jets delivering the chemical bombe were tracked loading, taking off, dropping the bombs, and landing. No doubt about it.
No reason not to believe we don’t have that type of information now too. Trump said to day “we’ll figure it out”.
