    Hillary Derangement Syndrome?
    We don't start every war, nor can we stop every conflict.

    A lot of maybes that go back to our involvement in the region decades earlier. If we had left the region to its own devices, the Soviet Union would have dominated.
    ISIL may not have been successful in Syria and Iraq if we had handled our political and military involvement differently. Another maybe.

    You're another one of these characters who can't admit error.

    And the actual evidence of the alleged use of Sarin gas is?

    The Blaze story uses the style "is concerned about the possibility of sarin use".

    I'm concerned about the possibility of Martians invading Earth and curtailing the sale fo ice cream. Does my concern translate as fact?

    Agreed. The enduring problem is a gullible public who fall for government/media spin and a political/military establishment that know they can easily hoodwink the public with such tosh. This is the problem of believing government. They simply cannot be trusted not to manipulate and gull their citizens.

    It speaks to the lack of discrimination or the ability to think critically.

    Not to mention motive. Assad had virtually no motive. The terrorists had TONS of motive for a false flag attack.

    Official sources. The mainstream press. The White Hats. Take your pick. They're all churning out lies and spin.

    Who cares? Its important Assad stays in power, no matter what it needs. Assad is brutal, but he is modern and stabilizing this hellhole.

    Exactly like Saddam Hussein, and just look at what's happened to that country? There's no doubt whatsoever that 'brutality' works.

    :roll: 'Say if often enough and the gullible will eventually believe it.' How depressing it is that adults can be so childlike.

    **** sticks.
    Sow the seed of doubt and it will grow.

    No matter how stupid these demonisations are, the seed of doubt is now there.
    Trump is a Russian agent. UG. No he isn't.
    We think Saddam has WMD that is why we have massed our entire militaries into a giant group in range of them. No it isn't.

    Really it takes some testicles to try this whole WMD **** again. It's like when Tony Blair tried to say Saddam had nukes.
    They will just sling any and all **** until they find one the public won't laugh at them for.
    And then they will invade.

    **** sticks. They will keep flinging it.

    Just to make an example:

    This is Assad and his wife in a christian church in Damascus

    [​IMG]

    Under Assad men and women have equal rights. There is religious freedom

    [​IMG]

    Meanwhile Sunni Muslim Scum destroyes evrything non muslim and kills, murders and enslaves

    [​IMG]

    I have the greatest respect for Assad. He did not leave his country. He stayed and took it back. Thats how i imagine a true leader.

    That said there are rumors the poison gas used against the sunni extremist came from Germany.

    http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/0...tack-rockets-made-in-germany-report-says.html

    If thats true then i´m proud that my country is helpful in crushing terrorists

    If everyone thought like us then I don't think it would be too late to take on the Islamists; the fight would last for a few decades, but at least they won't find it so easy as they believe it will be right now, and we could inflict some damage onto them. And who knows, regain some of our self-respect?

    Florence Parly, France's Defence Minister, interviewed by France Inter news agency last Friday says its has "no certainty" on the use of Chlorine gas as a weapon by Syria, adding that "checks are to be done" (HERE).

    This is so old fashioned - actually collecting hard evidence and then analysing it and reaching conclusions thereafter.

    Once again the media has put the cart ahead of the horse in their anxiety to propagandize against Syria, which has led, again as usual, to the not-so-smart leaping on a story that has no factual foundation.

    Most of the time, and this is such a case,... the mainstream press isn't a source at all. Only when they do investigating reporting. And I guess you do not know the difference. That is quiet pathetic.

    On the contrary I do know the difference. Because I agree the media is not a reliable source and hasn't been for along time now. Nor are the US government, nor the White Hats. That's why I said that they're all churning out "lies and spin".

    That, in fact, is the point I was making and have been making. Claims that Syria is responsible for various gas attacks remain unfounded in fact.

    The whole problem with the middle east goes back to right after WWI when the west carved up the old Ottoman Empire and drew the boundary lines for the different countries. The west never took religion or tribal loyalty into account. They just drew lines to accommodate the French and British mandates.

    You again show you do not know the difference. The "media" is not responsible for what any person working for the government says.
