Breaking on Rachel Maddow show. White House statement on Syria.

[Catmusicfan]

Statement stating Syria is preparing for another chemical attack on civilians. No verification. No additional info..

Trump will threaten Syria for possible attack but won't let those civilians in the U.S. to protect them.

1. Is this for real?

It almost sounds like the WH is trying to wave something shiny in front of us to distract us from something else.....

4. Rachel & Lawrence pretty much agreed at the end of her show that the credibility of this is

questionable at best.

Though Lawrence pointed out that, if there is no attack, Trump will take credit for that.

2. Lawrence O'Donnell just commented

that this is where credibility matters.

No one believes anything Trump says.

3. Tinfoil on??

This is a sourced leak-from his boyfriend Putin.

Putin has the underhand in Syria and last time chemicals were used on civilians it was to distract.

The fuck's will take us into War not tinfoil....

5. Thought trump said he will never let on with his war plans?

He has to go. This is a BS statement from WH.

U.S. says it appears Syria planning another chemical weapons attack

The White House said on Monday it appears the Syrian government is preparing for another chemical weapons attack and it warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad he and his military would "pay a heavy price" if it conducts such an attack.

The White House statement said preparations by Syria were similar to those undertaken before an April 4 chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians and prompted President Donald Trump to order a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base.

8. So... is this confirmation that the "strike" that took place a few weeks ago

was a waste of time and money? How many millions were spent? And yet Assad can still launch chemical attacks?

11. It's the new terror alert system.

Bad news for Bush, Terror alert goes up.

We'll be lucky if we don't get dragged into a stupid war where the "good guys" are Al Qaeda.
