Dont believe a word Trump says about Syria

[HAB911]

or anything else for that matter

We all knew this moment would come.

Donald Trump, a serial, pathological liar, faced with an international crisis, would need to communicate a message to the world about that crisis and we would have to choose rather or not to believe him.

Thursday night, without the very congressional approval that Trump once said Obama needed to strike Syria, he ordered airstrikes on a Syrian airfield, reportedly in retaliation for recent chemical attacks against citizens in the country. Trump said it was when he saw the images of children dying and suffering from the attacks on television that he decided he must act.

I don’t believe him. Not even a little bit.

1. He is a pathological liar and a sociopath.

Anyone who supported him with his pledge of America First should be wondering what the hell just happened?

But they'll say, "Look at the dead babies."

Which we have been looking at for over six years now, when this man said, "Screw 'em."

2. Who has verified this chemical attack claim?

I heard some doctor guy on NPR sort of claim that it was gas, but had no proof.

This whole thing sounds bogus.

3. I don't. Saw someone trying to make him

a sympathetic figure.. Ewww

12. Whenever he tries to act compassionate,

it is so creepy. He really just does not know how, so it comes across as weird. I mostly noticed it when he kept saying "beautiful babies". When Trump says those words, he sounds like a cartoon villain, trying to appear caring.

4. We did know this moment would come.

So predictable.

However, it is possible that the images of dying children could have tweaked his conscious. He may have realized the consequences of having an ally like Putin.

7. Trump has reaction buttons that can be pushed.

That's how we got the Trump Tower wiretapping fiasco.
Some handler found his "outrage" button.

It is important to note that the raid is mostly a very
expensive statement. 60 Tomahawk missiles destroying
empty bunkers tells Syria that he is very, very cross
with them.

5. This whole fiasco smells like s setup

The Russians are making noise to make drumph look tough (and deflect from so called investigations).

That is all theatre.

A huge con game.

A GOP speciality stalling, obstructing, denying, lying, repeating.

6. Phoney President Phoney War

a good reason to make more weapons is if you use the ones you have. Even if it's phoney.

13. Chlorpyrifos is Dursban, a common pesticide

It is not Sarin!!!!!


Dursban (Chlorpyrifos) is a common pesticide that requires a pesticide applicators license to obtain.
Until about 10 years ago, consumers could buy Dursban anywhere.
It was a very popular pesticide. (Too popular)
It was commonly use to kill outside insects, (roaches, grubs) however consumers were overusing it and some were using it in their homes etc.
Exterminators no longer use it for residential applications.

There are still organophosphates available to consumers. Malathion is available everywhere. But it stinks to high heaven, so it isn't very popular. Just opening a bottle will leave a stench in garage like forever. So, it will not likely get banned.

9. Now who backs Assad in Syria?

That would be Russia.

Who helped to rig our elections in order to install Trump and Republicans?

That would be Russia.

And who shifted the goal of ousting Assad as the leader of Syria?

That would be Trump.

10. So was the chemical weapon attack on civilians a part of the set-up?

Create an international incident, let the USA retaliate, all with the foreknowledge and perhaps assistance of our Russian "friends"?

The line between fact and fiction is so blurred under this administration, nothing but nothing would surprise me.

[tenorly]

15. It's the most likely explanation.

E-mails were leaked in 2013 showing Pentagon officials discussing the very thing. Obama nixed any such plans; but as we all know, his successor is a far less ethical man.

11. Words 9 through 14...say it all......tells all.. no more for me either...nt

[bronxiteforever]

14. Compassion does not come with bombs but with letting refugees in the us.

Blowing up a runway does not topple a dictator. Instead how about we lend a hand to those that suffer?
There is no political solution proposed and since the GOP owns the whole federal government how about senators gramham and McCain be in charge of negotiating a settlement and see if their actions equal their loud fucking mouths.
