Title: After Getting Busted for Bombing Syria Based On a Lie, Trump Doubles Down … Threatens to Bomb Syria Even Harder Based On Same BS

A report yesterday by the Pulitzer-prize winning reporter who broke some of the biggest stories of the Vietnam and Iraq wars showed that Trump bombed Syria on April 4th based upon false pretenses.

Specifically, Trump said the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack on civilians, but U.S. military and intelligence officials say that they told Trump there was no evidence for that claim … and they say that what really happened is that Syria bombed Islamic terrorists, and that accidentally released chemicals being stored by the terrorists.

So how does Trump respond to the report?

He doubles down on the bull …

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said tonight:

The United States has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children.

 

The activities are similar to preparations the regime made before its April 4, 2017 chemical weapons attack. [Oh ... you mean the Syria government is planning on bombing Islamic terrorists again?]

 

***

 

If … Mr. Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price.

After Spicer’s statement, Neocon warmonger – and U.S. representative to the U.N. – Nikki Haley tweeted:

Any further attacks done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people.

Notice that Haley does not say:

Any further attacks CARRIED OUT BY THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT and done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people.

Anything bad happens - whether it's carried out by Assad, or ISIS, or Al Qaeda, or outside forces trying to destabilize Syria - it will be blamed on Assad as a justification for a lot more bombing.

Postscript:  This little game has been going on for 68 years.  Specifically, the U.S. government has been trying to replace the Syrian government with folks who will be subservient to America since 1949 … 3 years after Syria became an independent nation.

The CIA succeeded in carrying out a coup in Syria 1949.

In 1957, the American president and British prime minister agreed to launch regime change again in Syria using a false flag. (False flags are not only historically documented, but presidents, prime ministers, congressmen, generals, spooks, soldiers and police have ADMITTED to planning and carrying out false flag attacks).

In 1983, 1986, 1991, 2001, 2009 and 2012, American officials again schemed about regime change in Syria.

Syria is a Russian ally, the place where the Russians base their fleet.

Syria is also a bitter enemy of Israel, refusing to formally make peace.

Syria is a supporter of terrorists who attack Syria and elsewhere.

Syria is a dictatorship whose government slaughters its people.

So, given all of those things, we have ample reason to destroy the Syrian regime.

For us NOT to do so requires a series of moves by the Russians and the Syrians.

We will let the Russians keep their base there intact, if they police the Syrian government so that it will do the following:

(1) Formally make peace with and recognize Israel, including accepting long- term Israeli policing of the Golan Heights. Syria attacked Israel from the Golan Heights multiple times. They cannot be permitted to simply reassume possession without an Israeli presence. So, governorship can pass, but the Israelis must be permitted to stay, unmolested, as long as it takes to build trust.

(2) Expel the terrorists, stop supporting them, kill them.

(3) Stop slaughtering their own people, and get rid of all chemical or biological weapons.

Do that, and the Syrian regime can be permitted to live, and the Russians have peaceful and unmolested use of their naval base. Everybody is happy and we go home.

Anything less, and it looks as though Syrian regime supporters are just going to have to keep on dying, until they accept the terms or are overthrown. We're not going anywhere until we get what we want.

This is an important article on Syria.

Perhaps I need to spell it out more clearly. Right and wrong are not the issue. There are competing interests here, and there is no solution that does not satisfy US interests.

The Russian interest in their naval base is understandable and acceptable - they have no other naval base in the Mediterranean, so they have to dig in and fight nearly to the death if they have to, to prevent being closed out of a whole region. So obviously, no matter what the outcome, the Russians get to keep their base.

That's what Russia gets. Further Russian aspirations to simply win in Syria and get their way and the strategic result they want will never come true, because the Americans have the resources and the will to stay and fight FOREVER. America is a much wealthier and more powerful country than Russia, and we will not be driven from the region by the Russians.

We can accept that the Russians need their base, but they don't need the Assad government to have that base.

Assad's government has relentlessly supported terrorism against the West for decades, and is a permanent enemy of Israel, with no hope for peace. Therefore, Assad must die. There is nowhere else to go for him.

We will simply stay in Syria forever, making any settlement impossible, until Assad is out of power. We can accept him getting asylum somewhere, alive. But if he MUST stay, then he must die.

And that is that.

The thought that somehow the Russians and the Syrians are going to get what they want, but the Americans are not, is ridiculous. The most powerful military and economy in the world is not going to be defeated, and it isn't going to be disregarded. And the Syrians will just keep suffering and dying until they accept that and come to a solution that the Americans will accept.

Because we are not going anywhere until we get what we want, and our strategic position in the world is becoming more powerful due to our rising petroleoum and natural gas dominance, which simultaneously weakens the economies of Iran, Iraq and Russia.

There is no victory against the United States. There is nothing ahead for the Syrians but more and more and more death if they do not propose a solution that satisfies American desires.

We CAN accept the Russians keeping their base. We get it. Past that, an American retreat from the region? Not happening. Ever. Nor will Israel ever be destroyed. We can kill Arabs until kingdom come to make the point. And if we have to, we will.

Looks like we will have to. Oh well.

For my part, I'd prefer to see a settlement that is just all around. Apparently that's a pipe dream. So we'll just stay and fight. It costs us little. It costs the Syrians their entire future. Too bad for them. Their stubbornness will never, ever result in their success, only their further death and degradation.

Assad will go, sooner or later. And then we'll win.

For that matter, Castro will also die, eventually, and then we'll win there too.

We're not going anywhere, and we're not changing our minds.

Syrian Christians must die too?

It is unfortunate that Christian Syrians ARE dying already, in droves, because of the breakdown of all order. An Assad who, with Russian (and American) backing is able to restore order and KEEP the order restored, and stop supporting terror - that will end up being acceptable. What won't be accepted is an outcome that leaves Syria a terror safe haven.

Iraq and Libya? Certainly problem areas. The war is not over, though.
