Humanitarian Pixie Dust is powerful shit, but it leads to lame foreign policy decisions in the heat of the moment. Resist, America, Resist.

What we need is an emotional appeal where ISIS fills the vacuum left in the wake of the US ousting Assad to counter it. Can't fight emotional appeals with logic, fight it with emotional appeals, like beheadings, raping women, throwing gays off of rooftops, drowning in steel cages, think of how much worse the gas attacks would be if ISIS had all the gas, etc.

They want to appeal to emotion, two can play at that game. Bring it on you fucking warmongering faggots, my emotional appeals are better than yours. I'll use your own pixie dust against you, see how you like it.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:47 P.M.) – At least 58 people were killed in a horrific gas attack in the Idlib Governorate this morning. However, even before investigations could be conducted and for evidence to emerge, Federica Mogherini, the Italian politician High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, condemned the Syrian government stating that the “Assad regime bears responsibility for ‘awful’ Syria ‘chemical’ attack.”

The immediate accusation from a high ranking EU official serves a dangerous precedent where public outcry can be made even before the truth surrounding the tragedy can emerge

Israeli President, Benjamin Netanyahu, joined in on the condemnation, as did Amnesty International.

MSF says it was at least sarin and chlorine, which seems more like Assad bombed a rebel chemical weapons depot.

Where is that photo from? You don't hose people down who were exposed. You administer atropine injections.

Too early to reverse image search but it looks like it's grabbed from a news video because of the logo. I can track it down to this guy but I'm going to see if I can find the original source.

It's used as an image in this new report at the 20 second mark. If I find the original it would have to be from a journalist that I have no idea how to search for... hang on

Then I found this video. Fuck this. This week ain't the one for me staying sober is it? I'm done with it all today.

If those people were hit with sarin, hosing them down didn't help at all. They needed atropin injections. People wouldn't be in the area without mop 4 gear on either.

I bet Assad was behind the Falcons losing too.

He can't keep getting away with it.
