doog,

Does the US have cameras in the ISIS target site?
Maybe they do via the White Helmets.

Use your own free thinking.
It's common for an enemy to draw fire where and when they want.

It's the MO of ISIS etc to bomb and kill innocent people in groups.

And where is the evidence to convict Assad?
Even Russia is looking for it.
Why is such evidence not published in major media?

This was just posted to me from the USA.

Dear Foxy,

We should for a moment reflect on Trump's hypocrisy. Not that it should be overstated but it definitely is a measure of the man. When Obama as president was looking to respond to the much larger gas attack these are some of the things Trump tweeted;

“We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime.”

“Remember, all these ‘freedom fighters’ in Syria want to fly planes into our buildings.“

“If Obama attacks Syria and innocent civilians are hurt and killed, he and the U.S. will look very bad!“

“What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.”

“The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!”

Well Trump never got Congressional approval.

When Obama was looking to strike after the initial gas attack he mulled it over for a long time even though he had decided on a particular date. In the end after much contemplation he stood down and worked with Russia to remove much of Assad's arsenal.

Ultimately I do not trust Trump in the slightest. I do not have any confidence his actions were as selfless as he wants us to believe and I think the power rush he has just experienced will drive this man to seek more. I note with concern the news that he has ordered a carrier group to the Korean Peninsular.

But by far the most unsettling feeling is that we may well be taken on a ride. The fact that the damage on the Syria targets was only minimal, that the runway was left completely intact and that the Russians did not use any of their anti-aircraft assets to prevent the bombings means for me at least I just don't buy it.

Dear SteeleRedux,

I understand. The points you've raised are valid.

And with Trump - it's always, expect the unexpected.

We shall have to wait and see what develops next.

Hopefully, Congress will have some say in future matters.

A one off strike does not constitute a war. Congress could take weeks.
It was a Uni matter to strike Syria of proportionate value as Assad inflicted on his own people.

I have no problem with it at all. Nor would I have a problem if a strike went to North Korea for his failure to take notice of Un directives of no testing explosives of mass destruction.

I am no fan of trump, but you must admit Obama tried his way to no conclusion.

So doog, you have no problem with a world nuclear war.

How many children and other people do you think a world nuclear war would kill?

And, doog, what proportionate value are you talking about, if Assad was not the offender as claimed by western media?
