row_33 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Time for things to get real, hopefully nobody is supporting the use of chemical weapons against civilians... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have to say, in support of Rhino, why would Assad reach a deal with Obama to get rid of chemical weapons to then use them? Just to buy time? Did they believe Trump's stance that he would do nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Deals with dictators are totally useless, Obama can pretend that even he 1 percent believes in the terms, which hopefully buys time and nothing bad happens, it sure fools a lot of people though...

DC Tom Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yup, and an aspirin factory was destroyed ... Actually, I did just flip to MSNBC, to see how badly their diapers were soiled. Maddow may be insufferable, but their analysts are much better than CNNs. The media looks like they're loving this - the White House press pool is getting briefings, they're getting camera time, the studio personalities are getting to report on facts rather than bull **** for once. And everyone has a look on their face like "God, this is refreshing! It's been so long..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone has a look on their face like "God, this is refreshing! It's been so long..." I noticed the same thing. I've been watching MSNBC, CNN and FNC and it seemed as if they actually tried to be journalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddow talking about anti aircraft defenses sounds funny. Now we have cool video Does this remind you of the Clinton adimistion? Guess the cruise missiles were used a lot then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The US has to lead the world against totally evil acts like chemical weapons inflicted on civilians, a severe warning is hopefully heeded over this. Not sure that regime change is the goal though, or if it should be, watching and waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 CNN's also reporting that the Russians were NOT forewarned. Operationally sensible, since you'd expect them to turn around and warn the Syrians (and warm up their own AD system) immediately. Politically, though...are you !@#$ing kidding me???? The Russians were told. They had to have been. Otherwise their s-300s would have shot down the tomahawks, it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Maybe the pentagon was showing off its ability to piss on Russian aa systems But we do. The Russians very publicly moved in a bunch of S-300s in 2013, which can shoot down slow moving tomahawks with ease. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-22652131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So let me get this straight. Assad was on the verge of victory and decided to use chemical weapons because he thought Trump would do nothing about it? That's what we're buying? So after four years of not using them he decided to use them now? Smells fishy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deep State thread is covering this side of things (if you care)... though, if what Tom said up thread turns out to be true it'd be a bit of a different story.
