so their yah are folks, Israel needed a reason to make this bold attack today and didn't want to miss the opportunity, so where they tricked into a response or did they do this on their own and thought it out . if the Assad did use gas on the people the other day he knew this would result in Israel countering with a missile attack like this. so who wins in this situation on the chessboard their lies the suspects the ones who wanted the gas attack on the children and women in the first place in the news. https://news.vice.com/en_us/article...led-out-israel-for-striking-syrias-t4-airbase
Russia is going to have to put up or shut up, sooner or later. If they want to stop the Israeli/US aggression, it's going to have to take out a few airplanes or ground facilities.
The rebels fighting against Assad are essentially ISIS and Al Qaeda (or what's left of them). Do we really want to get into bed with them? Honestly, this entire thing is an abject catastrophe, and mostly of Obama's and Hillary's making. And with the eager participation of everyone's hero John McCain. To quote Daniel Greenfield: Obama empowered ISIS and Iran next door to Syria. Then he empowered Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda militias in Syria. And then he finally empowered Iran, Assad and Russia in Syria. If he had set out to cause as much death and devastation as possible in Syria, he couldn't have done any more damage without dropping nuclear bombs or his campaign propaganda on its major cities. Every major terror player in Syria was empowered by Obama's terrible decisions. There is/was ample evidence to more than just suggest that Chris Stevens was Obama's man in Libya who was running guns to these "rebels" in Syria when their allies in country attacked on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2012. Syria has to become a flashpoint for a nasty regional conflict, but, should we expand our presence there? The fact that McCain's Renfield, Lindsay Grahamaphrodite wants us involved is what we call in the business a "tell." And McCain has come out of his coma long enough to, get this, lay some of the blame on the President for the gas attack. I hope the new national security team of Bolton, Pompeo and Haspel have the answers here. And remember; Putin helped Trump rig the election because he wanted a US president in office that would decrease the value of Russian oil by expanded drilling and send in the American military to pound his client and his own forces in Syria. Yup. Collusion all over the place.

Remember how quiet it was in the Mid-East before Bush started his fake war? Every once in a while Iraq and Iran would fight. Nothing exciting. No refugee crisis or anything.
It seems we never learn our lessons regarding the ME. Best to let them kill each other and let Allah sort them out.
I totally agree. The Middle East has been around a long time compared to the u.s. why do we think we can go in there and fix it?
Read the stories about this Democrat. Tulsi Gabbard is no snowflake Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who resigned her position as vice-chair of the Democratic National Gabbard traveled to Syria to meet with its brutal dictator. To many Democrats, myself included, this was a road too far. By this point, Assad had become infamous for dropping barrel bombs on schools and hospitals packed with innocent women and children. Assad had used chemical weapons against his own people, in violation of international law and basic human decency. To put it bluntly, Assad is a monster who slaughters his people like livestock, but for some reason, Gabbard saw it fit to meet with him. http://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/359986-tulsi-gabbard-is-no-snowflake
Maybe you should ask the people of Iraq if they are better off today than they were under Saddam? Well, I guess you can't find the 500,000 dead and you may find it difficult to find the millions displaced. But your right. He was a bad guy.
John McCain, like HRC, is the living face of The Swamp in Washington. It's useless to blame Bush I, Bush II, Obama or Trump for the failing policy in the ME, since those policies are written in Tel-Aviv and enforced on the elected representatives in the US via AIPAC, dual citizens lodged deep in the high bureaucracy and the MIC. The President may have control of the gas pedal in the ME, but not the steering wheel.
So we are supposed to believe that for a third time now Assad had things going his way and decided right before we pulled out to gas his own people? Or is it possible that ISIS is responsible knowing we would bomb the hell out of Assad to help them?
I think we should let russia and iran have syria. It is their kind of place. We have no business being there at all.
I think it smells. Obamas civilian military, aka ISIS, is on the ropes and needs the u.s. back in their helping them. The Obama people who run guns to gangs and terrorist are suddenly out of power.
What a stinking load of racist crap. Can you take your bigoted crap somewhere else rather than polluting yet another discussion with your hatred? Get a life!
Congress needs to debate it, and if they want to commit this nation to war, pass a resolution committed us to war, listing the reasons and what they would like to see the commander in chief accomplish through military action, or if they do not want to commit our nation to war, vote authorization down.
Do we want to get into bed with them? Is that a joke? We've been in bed with them since they arrived. Israeli medical facilities have been treating many of them for years. I don't know who pays them, Israel or the US, but we have accommodated several of their retreats with out helicopters. We have delivered essentials to them in our helicopters. Tulsi Gabbard USAR knows about it. They drive US pickups, use US weapons, wear US shoes. It's old news, but NEVER on the mainstream media.
