Is bombing a military general at an airport an act of war?

53. From my meager perch, it's equally possible that you or the pope coordinated it.

I also don't know for a fact that anyone coordinated it.

Do you really think an everyday person posting on an internet blog has the faintest legal proof of anything this man or any of the hundreds of militant groups have done? About all I'm certain of is that he was known to frequent a number of locations in Syria and Iraq where he had operatives believed to have Iranian connections, and he's been doing that for years. There's photographic proof of those visits, but neither you or I or anyone else on this blog have the resources to prove exactly what he said or did there or anywhere.

I seriously question why we waste our time speculating on such "possibles" happening half-way around the globe in an extremely complex zone where tribal, secular and militant group loyalties rule, deception is a way of life, and solid intel is iffy at best.

Do we even really know exactly what persons attacked the base via photos or videos of actual people? Every time there's an evil, murderous event of terrorism in the world, numerous groups proudly lay claim for responsibility.

My point is the internet and media sources are awash with information that has no firm foundation that would be admissible in a court of law. Donald Trump is one of those sources on a frequent basis. A huge number of people around the globe are in the business of spreading lies, innuendos, rumors and conspiracy theories and outright bullshit, and they exist on both sides of any fence. Our last presidential election is solid proof. I refuse to add to that problem.
