New chemical attack in Syria, I am confused...

It is getting real now...the president has ordered an attack according to NYT.

First I’d heard it had been debunked, got any links to non Alexy Jones type sites?

friggin' stupid.

It just never gets old watching the executive branch bomb whoever the fuck they feel like whenever they feel like it...

Jihad Watch shares my skepticism. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/04/t...-against-syria

1. Is it certain that Assad’s regime really used the chemical weapons? There is so much manufacture of atrocities in that region, it cannot be taken for granted that he has, especially since there is no clear benefit to him in doing so.

Defense contractors rejoice as we wasted more US taxpayer treasure on a worthless region last night.

Get the fvck out of that no win region. Nothing of benefit for the US comes from this region.

Humanitarian efforts abroad can come after we fix our own, and have zero debt.

Sounds a great deal like exposure to a hot babe that won't give you the time of day. Except for the pee, puke, and poo....

Sounds like a hangover.

I found it interesting that when pressed on Sarin or just Chlorine, Mattis (or was it Dunford?) said they know for sure Chlorine was used but couldn't comment on Sarin. That's a break from the previous week's hyperbole.

As many of us know, Chlorine is a favorite for the jihadists -- available in mass quantities, easily dispersed via VBIED, and in Iraq they had a history of using it.

Since Sarin is unconfirmed and Chlorine is confirmed, could it not simply be the case that a conventional Syrian strike hit a stockpile of the jihadists'?

Here’s my theory. Regardless of wether there was an actual usage of chemical weapons by the Assad government against civilians, U.S., UK, and French intel were made aware of plans to use NBC materials sourced from Syria in an impending attack, and or they decided a significantly reduced in capability Syrian Chemical weapons program was in the Western worlds favor. Russia may have even played along so that Syria will think Russia is still their friend.
