Lies And Arrogant Children Pushing Attack On Syria
This is the most disgustingly disingenuous president and administration in my life time. The use of chemical weapons is a terrible, horrible thing, no question about that but the use of chemicals IN Syria has not been factually proven to be the work of one side or the other and that is a fact. The outrage about chemical weapons is a red herring to allow us to become involved in this civil war. Look, Syria has not signed any treaties prohibiting the use of chemical agents against enemy combatants so Syria has not violated any international treaties as has been claimed. Stop the lies. The idea that American soldiers have not been subjected to chemical weapons since WWI is just plain bull. The US used napalm in both Korea and Viet Nam, twenty million gallons of agent orange was used in Viet Nam, tens of thousands of American Veterans have died or still suffer from its effects.
Sure it's terrible that people were killed by chemical weapons but would they be less dead if they had been shot in the head? Sure it is an outrage that people were possibly gassed by their own government. Here's the dirty little secret our government doesn't want us to know or think about; We, this nation, signed the international treaties prohibiting the use of chemical agents as weapons but we have used some of those prohibited chemical agents against our own people right here in the United States. What is commonly referred to as tear gas is banned by international treaty from use on a battlefield but is used regularly by police forces and the FBI. Remember how the FBI pumped occupied buildings full of tear gas, a highly flammable chemical, at Waco? Remember how 49 men and women and 27 children died as a result of that action, an action that would have been an international crime had it taken place on a battlefield instead of in Texas.
There must be clear trustworthy heads and concise proofs in order to justify an attack on a sovereign nation that presents no immediate danger to this country. There must be a clear cut plan of objectives before such an attack and there must be a commitment by completely involved leadership for such an attack. Death is simply far too serious to be considered on the basis of lies and phony outrage.
