We have lost all trust, our leaders have no credibility and our country is getting played once again - possibly.

Are we still wondering if Putin was the winner?

Bush had the war escalate on him - we could be seeing 'drop mic' moment as we abandon Syria and leave it with...whatever.

"Chemical attack" since the bombing yesterday. The only proof they have is the youtube video from an unnamed source. I suspect that trump demanded action based on the video ( and his other troubles ) and that was that. They figured it would be a win and nobody would care about proof in a few days. They will be right.

Using my mobile.

The ones I found were by typing “Syrian gas attack” in you tube search window. Most of the vids that come up today are from the bombing last night. Look for vids posted before yesterday.

Going thru google app instead of YouTube app I found this from NY Times. The image is from the video I saw earlier. This week.

I saw some of the videos and stories. I was hoping I was wrong. Though I’m not for any of the violence, I do prefer that at least the strikes are for something rather than just Trump covering his ass.

Journalists are not wandering around Syria looking for stories. The western media reports from Lebanon to the extent it reports at all. If you believe no attack occurred then you have to believe Great Britain and France were also along for the conspiracy.

From what I can tell the entire thing was we lobbed some missiles over there and that’s it.

And some took the film they’ve been showing us, so why not the same source for showing bodies?

13. U.S., Britain and France Strike Syria Over Suspected Chemical Weapons Attack
Sat Apr 14, 2018, 07:42 PM
Apr 2018

WASHINGTON — The United States and European allies launched airstrikes on Friday night against Syrian research, storage and military targets as President Trump sought to punish President Bashar al-Assad for a suspected chemical attack near Damascus last weekend that killed more than 40 people.

Britain and France joined the United States in the strikes in a coordinated operation that was intended to show Western resolve in the face of what the leaders of the three nations called persistent violations of international law.

Defense officials said that Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from at least three American warships, while B-1 bombers dropped long-range missiles on targets. French and British warplanes also fired long-range missiles, while a British submarine launched cruise missiles.

Because that was the supposed impetus for the Persian Gulf War that involved 30-something countries and we all know that was bullshit.

This is the playbook, decade after decade, administration after administration. It is the greater project of western neoliberalism. There is always an atrocity to sway public opinion.

I'm not saying the chemical attack didn't happen, mind you, just that believing GB and France were 'along for the conspiracy' isn't so far-fetched.

I saw one child lying in a hospital bed who was distressed with water being poured on him. No way to tell for sure but it looked like he was being treated for exposure to gases etc. and he looked distressed. I didn't see children marching etc.
