You are absolutely correct eagleye! Thanks for the reminder.

I should have said "ask former Service Members", who served there under Obama's administration?

I guess that I didn't even consider that anyone Currently Serving there would be against the CIC's actions.

US Bombs Syria To Cover Up Lack Of Evidence On Chem Attacks, Discredits Own Claims By Doing So

After yet another example of brazen Western aggression against Syria, the United States, UK, and France are once again demonstrating to the world who exactly is the biggest threat to world peace. The entire March 14 assault on Syria by the three powers has been justified by the West as a reaction to an alleged chemical weapons attack that allegedly took place in Douma weeks ago.
The word “allegedly” is incredibly important here because not only is it merely alleged that the Syrian military conducted a chemical weapons attack, it is also merely alleged that the attack even took place. More on that in a minute.
But during the debate about the chemical weapons attack – who conducted it and if it happened at all – the West has claimed to be one hundred percent sure with no doubt whatsoever that the Syrian military personally directed by Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against civilians in a battle it was fighting and winning against terrorists at precisely the worst possible opportunity to do so. This is despite virtually all of the evidence to the contrary...

Ow. All very disturbing. I am not a person to blindly back Israel, not the contrary but close. Vital American interest in the Middle East, plus the Evangelical support that makes up most of Trump's base. Such egregious acts you showed will probably never be addressed. At great personal risk, I will mention this to my highly conservative, evangelical church. And post the "youtu" sites mentioned where needed. Thank you.

To few Americans question what the MSM gives as news.
The lying is just so common.

Debunking 10 Lies About Syria and Assad
Posted on April 15, 2018 by Chris Kanthan
Researched by Pastor Gary K. Boyd

When I wrote the article about the “Most Dangerous Decade” two weeks ago, I didn’t realize that my time frame was too optimistic. What’s happening now in Syria has the potential to start WW III – numerous American, British and French aircraft carriers, submarines and fighter jets have converged just off the Syrian coast, while Russian warships and planes are scrambling to defend and retaliate.

Although Americans are starting to wake up, many people are still caught up in the mainstream narrative regarding the Syrian war. I have written a book and many articles on this topic, but perhaps what the average person needs is a really short article that highlights the t***h and debunks the common lies about Syria, Assad and the war.

Assad’s Terrible Regime Caused the Civil War
Nope. Fact is that, starting in 2011, tens of thousands of foreigners – Al Qaeda and other jihadists – were sent into Syria to o*******w Assad. The US and its allies – Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Jordan – assisted in buying and t***sporting weapons to the “insurgents.” Special forces from the US, UK, France and Israel also spent billions of dollars arming and training the terrorists, a.k.a “moderate rebels.” What’s happening in Syria is not a civil war – it’s a proxy war.
Assad K**ls his Own People
Assad has been fighting the Islamic terrorists for seven years. It’s cynical and Orwellian for the West to shed crocodile tears for the Syrians and blame Assad for this brutal war.

While the presstitutes make it look like Assad is fighting women and children, fact is that the rebels have highly sophisticated weapons – million-dollar tanks, US-made anti-tank missiles that cost $250,000, etc.

Assad Oppresses Minorities
Assad protects Christians and other minorities. There’s no Sharia Law in Syria, and religious minorities have full freedom. The only group that’s “oppressed” in Syria is the violent Muslim Brotherhood, which has been banned for many decades. The Syrian opposition consists of Sunni extremists who have been persecuting and k*****g Shiites and Christians for the last seven years.
Syrians H**e Assad
The mainstream media will never show how popular Assad is. War propaganda’s #1 rule is to completely demonize the enemy.

In the CNN and Zogby polls conducted in 2009 and 2010, Assad was ranked as the most popular Arab leader. In the first 10 years of Assad’s government (2000 – 2010), Syria’s GDP tripled and the country was safe and peaceful.
Syria is a Jihadist Country

Less than 5% of the country are violent extremists motivated by Salafist/Wahhabi sectarianism. Syria has always been a secular, moderate country.

USA Supports the Good Guys
As a Pentagon memo warned even back in 2012, the US has been supporting the bad and evil guys – Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and ISIS. That’s the difficult t***h that most Americans cannot accept. Calling them “moderate rebels” is just Orwellian doublespeak to sell the disastrous policy to the American public. What we did in Syria was basically what we did with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

USA/UK Got Involved Only Because of Atrocities
G*******ts and colonialists have been trying to o*******w secular Syrian governments since the late 1940s. From the 1950s thru the 1980s, the US and the UK tried to use Muslim Brotherhood for their subversive plots. In the 1990s, the Neocons made it clear that Syria had to be defeated.
In 2007, the Bush administration started funding the Muslim Brotherhood again. In 2009, the UK started a satellite TV station to broadcast anti-Assad propaganda.

In 2011, the US and its allies funded and armed the opposition to start the f**e “revolution.” When it failed, they brought in Al Qaeda, created ISIS, and spent billions of dollars on this psychotic project.
White Helmets are Awesome
The US/UK governments have given more than $100 million to the White Helmets, who are conniving jihadists in uniforms. They are armed and only operate in rebel-controlled areas. They participate in extrajudicial executions and possibly in organ trafficking. The fact that they won an Oscar just goes to reveal the unfathomable levels of deception in the New World Order.

Monster Assad Used Chemical Weapons
Is it really hard to believe that jihadists would k**l people and children in order to frame Assad? Syrian rebels put children in cages and use them as human shields; the rebels have bombed buses full of children simply because the kids were Shiite Muslims; and the “moderate rebels” use even their own daughters and sons – some as young as nine years old – as suicide bombers. Yet, we are supposed to trust the pictures, videos and the false f**g narratives that these head-chopping barbarians feed us?
There has never been a single proven case of Assad using chemical weapons. No, you can’t determine anything from videos and pictures – we don’t know when and where they were taken; and you certainly can’t determine how the people died. Biological samples sent to the CIA by Al Qaeda should be ignored as well. Proper due process involves independent weapons experts going to the alleged sites, specialists performing autopsies and so on.

The UN has confirmed that ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria have used chemical weapons more than 100 times. The most hypocritical aspect of this whole drama is that, after the fall of Gaddafi, the US t***sferred Libya’s chemical weapons (sarin, mustard gas and others) to the Syrian rebels.
If Assad Loses, There Will be Peace in Syria
If Assad goes away, the tiny country of Syria will be broken up into ethnic regions; millions of Christians and Shiites will be persecuted, k**led or driven from their homes; ISIS and Al Qaeda will rule the Sunni region; and the bigger, deadlier conflict – Iran War – will begin shortly. America will spend a few trillion dollars, millions of people will be k**led, and Europe will be flooded with more refugees. In other words, it will be a wet dream for Neocons, Israel, g*******ts and the military-industrial complex.

This is, of course, a quick summary. You can find more details in my book, ‘Deconstructing the Syrian War’ which also delves into history, geopolitics, Islamic terrorism, war propaganda and the bigger picture about the struggle for global hegemony. If Americans and Europeans don’t understand the true motives and facts about the Syrian war, they will be lead into calamitous military adventures and destructive global wars in the near future.

Conclusion
Historians in the future may view the Syrian war as the g*******ts’ Waterloo that heralded a multi-polar world. However, the significance of this war is not widely appreciated, because the mainstream narrative has been an embarrassing mix of propaganda, half-t***hs and lies.

The Syrian war is harrowing, fascinating and deceptive. The wanton destruction of a nation was heartbreaking. Millions of people lost their homes and became refugees; and a stable, secular nation got engulfed in violent, sectarian conflicts.

The war is also fascinating because it offers profound insights into history, geopolitics, competition over oil/gas pipelines, Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism. It is also undoubtedly the most consequential war in decades, and has resulted in tectonic shifts in global alliances.

Finally, the conflict was a ruthless and an illegal proxy war that was sold to the world as a civil war. The conspirators in the proxy war included Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Israel, USA and more. America’s efforts also included the largest CIA operation since the Mujahideen project in the 1980's. Sadly, journalism failed miserably in the last six years, as corporate media morphed into an Orwellian tool for disinformation.

Syria’s civilization spans 10,000 years, which include triumphant empires and calamitous invasions. It’s likely that Syria will recover from this war, only to be stronger and more prosperous than before.

This book is backed by exhaustive research and analysis. Inside the book, you will find 200 photos, dozens of links to slideshows and videos, and 450 links to articles that will help you truly comprehend the war and the numerous related topics. By also connecting the dots to various events – historical and current – this book will help the reader see the bigger picture and discern the patterns in global events. For example, the crises in Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Philippines and even Myanmar all have the same underpinning geopolitical playbook. This book also has startling revelations and conclusions about geopolitics and ISIS that will help the reader understand world affairs through a unique prism.
To know the Syrian war, is to know how the world works!

Agreed, and it was measured taking into account our lack of evidence as to who did it. Bottom line is that it happened and Assad has facilities for manufacturing chemical weapons.

The MSM sure isn't.

How can any informed person want these results in Syria also.
Our foreign policy is still run by those that had us go into Libya.
The definition of insanity;
Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
Out Foreign Policy has been insane, unless the results are what the perps have been after.
Not good for America though.
The hatred for us just keeps escalating.

He says:"The strike, of course, is not strategy, but it suggests the elements of one. As horrific and as unacceptable as the use of chemical weapons is, and as odious as Assad’s regime remains, the U.S. would not be using coercive force if there were not interests worthy to protect.

The ends of America’s strategy are clear. We can’t tolerate a return of the Caliph**e. We can’t watch while Iran presses a dagger at Israel’s heart, risking a regional war. We don’t want the problems of Syria to bleed over and destabilize Iraq and Jordan. We don’t masses of refugees on the road again.

Now the challenge for the Trump administration is to t***sition to a regional footprint that achieves those ends in a sustained manner over time. The strike should help give the U.S. the time and space to put that presence in place."

Although the move appeared ill-thought, maybe it was not!!

It starts in Turkey. A minor thing. Russia over-reacts to the perceived threat and launches some missiles. American bombers mistakenly attack Russian positions. China steams into Taiwan with seven aircraft carriers and support vessels. Taiwan musters its navy in defense. North Korean border patrol shoots at a fleeing NK soldier and k**ls a SK. A wild firefight ensues and America attacks the North Korean capital.

That is as far as I can see.
