That guy is the biggest pentagon/whitehouse trumpet I've ever seen he's a complete moron. Today no shit, a guy calls in says he opposes going to war because there's no way to prove Assad used the weapons, and in fact, Assad had nothing to gain. The only people who had anything to gain were the rebels. Gord McDonald "Who cares who used them, people are dying, we gotta do something!" Just a complete fucking idiot. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45882814 Tell us why we should let the use of Sarin on innocent civilians just go on unchecked? Understand the context, the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel have been engaged in a proxy war with Syria for years now via the so-called "Rebels". The rebels are not upset syrians overthrowing an oppressive Government, they're foreign mercenary jihadists. They are Al Qaeda. They are TERRORISTS. This year the rebels have been losing. Without foreign intervention assad will be victorious at DEFEATING AL QAEDA AND TERRORISM in his country. Well that's no good for Israel. Thus, they need a PRETEXT for an illegal war of aggression (#1 war crime, according to Nuremburg trials.) Now lets use some logic here, if Assad was so desperate he had to resort to using chemical weapons, why didn't he kill even one rebel or rebel leader/commander? Oh yah, he wanted to risk foreign bombing and invasion simply so he could kill a couple hundred civilians.... riiighhhttt... So there's been 100,000+ dead civilians in the multi-year war with the rebels, and he just couldn't resist a few hundred more, right? No. The rebels launched chemical weapons as a pretext. Plain and simple, it's called a false-flag operation and has been used for centuries by Governments all over the world. "OH BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ASSAD IS SO BAD AND PEOPLE ARE DYING OMFGAD" Ok, so if people are dying you suggest we start bombing? And killing more people? What don't you morons get, every single country that the US has intervened in is FAR WORSE OFF than before we intervened! There's not one example in the past two decades where things are better after intervention than they were before. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, SYRIA! Everywhere we go we leave a path of destruction that ruined the people for GENERATIONS! Why do you idiots think 22 american service men kill themselves every single day? Cause they're "LIBERATORS"??? Cause they're doing "gods work", or cause they're "spreading freedom and democracy"????? No they're committing war crimes. They're committing war crimes because their country is committing war crimes by starting wars of aggression and forcing soldiers to bomb, shoot, maim, and poison innocent people. |
