Brian Williams is reporting that he was the only casualty of this strike. Took shrapnel to the thigh.

Fuck the media. Smart for Trump to realize that's the way to get them singing his praises, but fuck them.

No. I amsaying.. if it were sarin, the responders in that video would also be dead. It's more likey chlorine, assuming that video is credible at all.

And chlorine exposure would support the Russian claim that they hit a rebel ammunition dump containing chlorine. The rebels, after all, have been using chlorine as a chemical weapon for years now.

That's just taking the video and photos at face value. I have no idea when that footage was taken, the circumstances, or really anything about it. People are throwing some youtube videos in my face and acting surprised I don't believe the IC.

Get real.

And the responders in that photo were an NGO. They have funding for mop gear. They also have a storied history of making shit up.

You're right, then, that if it's chlorine that would lend more credibilty to the Syrian/Russian narrative. The Wikipedia link I posted earlier, mentions several cases of the Syrian Army being the target of chlorine gas attacks. However, if Assad did not honor the handover of chemical weapons, or if he ordered the manufacture of some later on, that would not be any sort of surprise either. Punishing the civilians who support (or who he thinks supports) the rebels, would also hardly be out of character.

Yet none of the above means you, as Americans, or my country, or the "international community" needs to invade Syria and depose Assad. I do want him toppled, and I do support those Danes and Kurds who illegally choose to fight either in the Rojava commune or the FSA. But it's their fight. One they most likely will lose, given that the FSA has no important ally left and the Kurds can no longer hope for significant gains in any peace talks following the Russian-Turkish detente.

toppling middle east governments leads to nothing good. nothing. get with the program.

Looks like generation Z is slated for their time in the sandbox. It's fucking unbelievable that we will likely have three generations of Americans in that fucking place.

Do you realize there are people in this forum who were not even born when all this started, and their kids are likely going to be doing the same shit our two generations did?

Fuck the media. Smart for Trump to realize that's the way to get them singing his praises.

This. Trump is getting a ton of positive vibes from the media for this, same media which was accusing him of being a Russian stooge just 24 hrs ago, so basically, if you want good press, shoot some TLAM's off unilaterally, and they instantly switch to singing your praises. Bizarre.

[Okeefenokee]

Thank God Brian Williams survived the chemical weapons attack.

fucking damnit. scooped again.

[Speaker to Animals]

He's losing significant support from his voters as well.

This is a yuge disaster for him. Supremely stupid.

Trump found an extra potent batch of the Humanitarian Pixie Dust for the MSM to snort, and boy do they love that shit.

[Okeefenokee]

weird fucking world.

truly.

all it took was trump acting like hillary and launching a few missiles to get the shitlibs on board.

[StCapps]

Yeah I'll bet they'll turn around and vote Democrat over this.

No, they will go back to not voting and the democrats will win.
