(2,730 posts)spin by this guy. He claims anonymous sources claims all evidence points to Assad but the report will not directly accuse the Assad regime. Then he tells another poster, you don't how the Assad regime works, as if he has some knowledge and is an insider to what is going on in Syria. Then people carry on this conversation as if this guy has any credibility, which is amazing.
Unless you actually know who this guy is personally, then he has no credibility whatsoever. The only thing we know about this Poster is he is from Tunisia. Tunisia is a country with foreigners definitely fighting in Syria, that have been captured and killed. They even have disturbances with extremist in their own country which should cause a flag, when someone with that nationality makes certain claims about a war going on in another country.
Then there are the allegations from the Syrian side and now President Putin, about the rebels trying to give a pretense for Western intervention into Syria. They want one particular country to make this intervention which is the United States. President Obama has lost me as a supporter. I'm a veteran, African american and from that community in this country. We talk about this every day around the dinner table.
I will tell him to his face exactly why I have lost trust in him. I have a dislike now also for John Kerry. I serve in the U.S.military for years and was there during Vietnam and remember North Korea. I had classmates that entered the Vietnam War through a Draft and saw them come home in body bags. The only reason America should fight a War is for a very good reason and it should be just.
It should not be for fighting other people's causes or conflicts. They parade these pictures of dead children and women in the Western media to play on the emotions of American citizens yet the people crying the loudest, know this region and see death every day. The Western media have been selective when they do so, because they know what strings to pull on American citizens when they want to get something. They do not show all the atrocities by the rebels and whom these people actually are. They try to reject any other sources to discredit their claims by calling them liars and propagandists, with the hope the American people still have faith in their Government not lying to them.
President Obama makes these claims to back up his officials in these positions. These officials have manufactured and lied before, yet President nominated these same people to these positions. I have training in evidence collection also. There is even a group of investigators out with an article these people can't be trusted. Look at whom is pushing this War. Do the people on this Board trust David Petraeus? He was the guy Obama trusted in Benghazi. He is the guy, I blame for the deaths in Benghazi, because it was his CIA. I blamed him from the start, because I'm military. The blame always goes to the commander and the President should have blamed Petrateus from the beginning, yet the politicians treated this man like a hero. He seemed to be working with the opposite political Party in this country moreso than Obama. Any other soldier would have been court martialed with what Petraeus got away with.
President Obama needs to clean up his Administration, plain and simple, as far as I'm concerned, instead of being part of the gang.
