Yes of course, but we all know how Repubs liked to claim Clinton was wagging the dog when he tried to take out Bin Laden in Sudan as a distraction from the Kenneth Starr inquisition. I admit it's fun to seem them squeal when you give them a taste of their own meds
Yeah... or they started manufacturing them again. There isn’t a clear answer at this point. Not that it matters, US policy and decision making has been horrendous for decade and has been terrible under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Ohama. Time will tell on Trump.
Yeah. The Syria bombing may bring Trump some short term goodwill. However if Mueller has something, no amount of goodwill from Syria is going to cover that up. So the idea that the bombing is directly related to Daniels is a real stretch.
Trump has already given Mueller ample to investigate. The amount of corrupt and criminal scumbags that President Trump has surrounded himself with is staggering.
Well, one thing is for certain, he'll keep looking till he finally finds something worthy of being investigated no matter how long it takes.
Ashamed to be American. Feels like some Germans must have felt while living as the Third Reich took over. Our missiles were a terrorist act.. Wag the Dog. Just rejoice at the probably couple hundred million we can now spend on the military industrial complex to replace the missiles and bombs we dropped. The USA has needlessly killed many times more Syrians with our bombing than any Syrian killed by whomever by chemical weapons. Stop the stupid pretense that chemical weapons are somehow immoral but conventional bombing is moral. Just shameful. Rally around the flag boys. Yellow ribbons, too Trump is now so tall in the saddle and presidential. Should boost in his ratings. Rah! Rah!
I hesitated clicking on this, but dear god: aren’t you supposed to keep these kinds of rants in your head?
This is a way cheaper than sending a ranasom worth hundreds of millions $ to the mullahs/revolutionary guard Corp
Not many Americans gave ashit about syrians to the point where even welcoming 10,000 highly screened and vetted refugees of our own doing through asylum was a no-no. Ivanka's rancid farts have more coverage here as potential wmds than old news red and orange lines drawn against chemical weapons. The cynicism in me can't imagine many cheers for democracy building outside of Astroturfed scoreboards. Oh yes, there will always be psychos looking for people to be killed as patriotic entertainment and necessary sacrifices for their one and true God, but we now have uncontrolled biweekly mass shootings to attract mindshare for those kinds of people.
one of my party friends is this guy who is a native Houstonian, he wrote this article a few years ago when he entered Syria .... https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/10/29/tourists-and-terrorists/
