    While some believe all the conspiracy type false flag BS and the government is also poisoning its own people with chem trails.... you might also consider it was accurate information and you bought into propaganda brought to you by Russia who we are again in a cold war with.

    But yeah, lets just believe who we are at odds with..... As Red Foreman would say to his son.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Was reading in an article yesterday that we used several of a new stealth air-to-ground missile launched from a couple of B-1B bombers in the attack. They apparently hadn't been used in combat operations before.

    I bet the attack cost us a lot more in missiles than it will cost them to rebuild the facilities.


    ETA: Link to article I read yesterday;
    Warship Ruse, New Stealth Missiles: How They Attacked Syria
    As the president addressed the nation at 9 p.m. Washington time, on Friday, a barrage of 105 U.S., U.K. and French missiles converged on Syria. They came from the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf and the Mediterranean, homing in from three directions to overwhelm whatever missile defenses Assad’s regime might deploy. Russia’s more advanced air defense system didn’t engage the allied weapons.

    According to the Pentagon, the allied weaponry included 19 new “Extended-Range” stealthy Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Attack Munitions launched by two B-1B bombers based out of Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, and six Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the Virginia-class USS John Warner submarine. The bomber-launched missiles, build by Lockheed Martin Corp., had never been used in combat.

    The biggest thing I'm happy with is no American lives were lost in this action.

    The difference in reporting from the US/UK/France on the effectiveness of the strike and the Russian version of the effectiveness of the strike...it's like they're talking about two entirely separate events.

    Russia really likes to embellish stories about how effective their military equipment is. But it seems that every single time we've come up against Russian equipment in combat (not just the US...other countries as well) it gets annihilated. So I tend to believe that at least the majority (maybe an overwhelming majority) of missiles hit their targets and were likely not shot down. Especially by Syrian forces.

    On the other hand...I generally find it hard to believe a word that comes from my own gov't.

    Famous and award winning war reporter who interviewed witnesses in person says he couldn't find a single person to confirm a gas attack. A doctor from the hospital says the videos were real, but it wasn't gas. It was lack of oxygen from all the people hiding in tunnels.

    Obama wasn't going to do that, I strongly believe that one of the reasons obama kept us in Afghanistan was so patriots in the military could be killed before they came back home to help us fight either obama or then next (D) president. Sounds far-fetched doesn't it, well if you stop to think about the vitriol and hatred the (D) have shown towards our veterans, troops in service, and regular citizens who oppose the (D) agenda it ought to be obvious.

    The history of Afghanistan shows repeated failures by nations to conquer it. But we all know that history doesn't matter to the government or global corporations.

    What national resources does Afghanistan hold that either we want or we're trying to prevent other nations from finding and using? Afghanistan also provides us a foothold on the eastern side of Iran. Combine that with our bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and we have a strong presence but our presence alone isn't keeping the mullahs in Iran from raising hell all over the middle east.

    President Trump promised during his campaign that he would get us out of Afghanistan, I was very disappointed when PDT announced that we would stay on. I'm not privy to insider information so perhaps there is a very good reason to stay on.

    Now that I've gotten us way off topic I'll bring us back.

    Are the Syrian Kurd's worth additional blood and treasure from the United States? I can't think of any other reason to remain in Syria.
