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.

Ask it takes...

That is not happening. Russia can also walk away. So can Assad, into exile. So could the Muslims.

Every actor COULD just walk away. None are going to, because they all perceive viital interests at stake. Unfortunately, the vital interests of one are mortal threats to another. For ISIS to walk away would be to abandon their religion. They won't, so they have to be killed.

There is a constellation of interests that can be worked out. Russia's, Assad's and ours can be coordinated. But ISIS has to die no matter what.

yes you want to destroy the demon you created because it is now inconvenient, but you forget, Syria is Assad's home, he has a right to be there, Russia was invited but you are uninvited. What ever Assad's crimes, it is for the Syrian people to deal with him and eventually they will

What Assad chooses to do in Syria reaches OUT of Syria and touches us and our allies. Therefore, what the Syrians do in Syria IS our business, and will REMAIN our business, until they stop doing outside of Syria what is unacceptable to us.

We have been willing to let Kim Jong Un torture and starve millions of his people, just as we let Stalin do it, and we've let the Castros do it. When dictators murder people within their own national borders, we avert our eyes. But when their forces and the forces they protect cross over national borders and attack us and our allies, what the Syrians do in their country becomes our business.

It would be great for all of the dictators and petty despots of the world if there were no consequences to doing their will, but we also have a will, and vast resources to back it, so there ARE consequences, and there will always BE consequences.
