So, how about that Syrian chemical attack thing?
- Thread starter Murphy
- Start date
anyway kidlets:
a little bit of the news a few hours before the attack
Russia's showing signs of backpedaling Russia's Support for Syrian President Bashar Assad Is 'Not Unconditional,' Kremlin Says
quote "The U.S. military saw the aircraft on a radar and watched them drop the bombs, the officials said. The radar soon picked up the flashes and booms in the rebel-held area of Syria. "
‘No doubt in our minds' that Assad behind Syria attack, Rex Tillerson says – video
Sadly though, this place is overcrowded with goddamn idiots.
I saw the images of the damage, although it's released by the Russians and the Syrians, the damage seems rather minimal.
there are seperate ordinance to take care of entire runways at any rate. this was more of a precise attack on select targets.
Seems like Trump only meant to give them a one time slap on the wrist and hopes they get the message. He's wrong but there's no shame in that. If Middle-Eastern mentality wasn't hard for westerners to grasp, people wouldn't have asked what's in it for Assad to attack the rebels now with chemical weapons.
on a second thought I'm not even sure Assad meant to attack rebels.. He did target civilians purposely in the past so why would now be different, even more so when the munition he uses isn't precise and is dropped on top of residential areas...and without any warning.
and here's a fun tidbit:

Kassem Eid, who survived a 2013 chemical gas attack in Syria, expresses his gratitude to President Trump for his missile strike of a Syrian airbase.

Obama reportedly declined to enforce red line in Syria after Iran threatened to back out of nuclear deal
Why Obama didn't enforce his red line in Syria - Business Insider
ah Loc... and I guess you skipped all the posts/citations about ISUS using the locals as bullet stoppers
and...ah, speaking of KIDLETS, is that Like the 500,000 kids dead in IRAQ????...
(from US sanctions, let alone the war?)

Now that Donald Trumps polls are sinking, watch for a strike against some Middle Eastern Country.. HOLD ON????

Funny, that worked real well in getting Obama a second term.
Enjoy the next 7.5 years

I'm not a huge fan of CNN, but this DoD photo shows 33 hits that have been highlighted. There appear to be more unhighlighted ones. These days, with satellite photos and people on ground with cell phones/digital cameas, one has to be careful of claims that can be easily debunked.
The Russians saying that only 29 hit their targets is bunk.

a reminder from Trump for those wondering why the airstrip wasn't potholed to hell by million dollar missiles:
Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump
The reason you don't generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix (fill in and top)!

The Russian claim was intended for domestic consumption and the non-Russian moonbats who think the word of Putin is worth a damn.I'm not a huge fan of CNN, but this DoD photo shows 33 hits that have been highlighted.

Potting runways is a way of stopping the immediate launch of aircraft. It temporarily contains a/c, and buys the aggressor additional time to strike other targets with a reduced chance of being intercepted.
Friendly forces also use this technique if they are going to be overrun. Punch holes in the runway to slow the arrival of enemy combatants.
From a military POV, this strike was a success. The targets were hit with minimal loss of life. It should be noted that the strike was NOT intended to disable the base, but rather, to send a message. That was accomplished.
I mention this because of the people on CCF who were against the strike. You can be angry all you want, but you're pi$$ing into the wind. This action was a mix of military firepower and political will.
In the coming days, there will be a lot of chest beating. It will be a testosterone filled response designed to show Trump that he failed, and put on a brave public face. It's an empty response however. It's what is discussed behind closed doors that matters and none of us is privy to these discussions. It's chess.

You still trying to show you have more than 2 functioning brain cells, if you it as much as a failure as the rest of your life. Remenber how far you have fallen once you lost the protection others were giving you. Some seem to have grown up yet you prefer to remain as stupid as possible and try to promote that as a good thing which really shows how truly stupid you really are.
Probably brings a 40 pounder to a gun-fight.
you just blew the chance to prove you are not one

Thats obama's war there Mr short memory, the one he started just after he got that peace prize

I see why you guys aren't big on citations
I guess you missed the part where I said I don't give a shyte what they do down there, for the most part.
In reality, the difference between Obama, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, etc are degrees. That's it. Minor fluctuations from the mean. Both the american dems and republicans are right wing and only degrees separate them.
Of course it is dear, that is why we ship $30B to the World bank every year for the interest on our national debt. Just how ill informed are you anyway?
Government debt in Canada set to top $1.3 trillion in 2016: Fraser Institute | National Post
Canadians are carrying a historic amount of debt.
And it’s not just their credit cards and mortgages that are weighing on their wallets and the economy. Combined federal and provincial debt in this country will top $1.3 trillion this year, according to a new Fraser Institute report out Tuesday.
“It’s not a trivial amount,” said Charles Lammam, one of the report’s co-authors of the $450 billion in government debt that’s accrued since the recession. “There’s short and long-term consequences.”
In the short term, massive interest payments on debt gobble up revenues that could be better spent, Lammam said. Local, provincial and federal governments pay more than $60 billion a year to service their debt, money that could be better spent on services. Over the long-term, a growing body of research suggest heavy government debt loads dampen economic growth.
Canada’s federal debt | qualicuminstitute.ca
The Problem
The above chart illustrates the history of Canada’s federal debt; obviously something went terribly wrong after 1974. Over a 108 year period (1867-1974) the accumulated debt shows as nearly a flat line growing to only $21.6 billion. But around 1974, the debt began to grow exponentially and, over a mere 39 years, it reached over $600 billion in 2013.
So, what happened around 1974? In that year
The presumption was that borrowing from a central bank with the power to create money on its books would inflate the money supply and prices. Borrowing from private creditors, on the other hand, was considered not to be inflationary, since it involved the recycling of pre-existing money. What the bankers did not reveal, although they had long known it themselves, was that private banks create the money they lend just as public banks do. The difference is simply that a publicly-owned bank returns the interest to the government and the community, while a privately-owned bank siphons the interest into its capital account, to be re-invested at further interest, progressively drawing money out of the productive economy.1
Oh Canada Movie - Our Bought And Sold Out Land
Uploaded on Oct 31, 2011
This 2009 entertaining documentary film explores the history of banking, the selling out of the prosperity of Canada, the clearance sale of Canadian businesses and the political liquidation of public infrastructures to the multi-national corporate oligarchy. How has this led to the biggest economic crash / recession / depression in Canadian history? Could it have something to do with our politicians listening to international bankers and corporations instead of the people Canada? How does the Canadian banking system really work? How does the central Bank of Canada compare with the American Federal Reserve?
This movie presents these issues that affect every Canadian from the perspective of and delivered by concerned youth in a astute and colourful manner. This is a serious journalism piece that asks the tough questions directly to such politicians as Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin, Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, Ontario Gas Man Dan McTeague, NDP Leader Jack Layton, Mayor of Oshawa John Gray, Former Prime Minister of Canada John Turner and many more!

To achieve that goal, the Committee discouraged borrowing from a nation’s own central bank interest-free and encouraged borrowing from private creditors
the Basel Committee was established by the central-bank Governors of the Group of Ten countries of the member central banks of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which included Canada. A key objective of the Committee was and is to maintain “monetary and financial stability.” To achieve that goal, the Committee discouraged borrowing from a nation’s own central bank interest-free and encouraged borrowing from private creditors, all in the name of “maintaining the stability of the currency.”

There certainly are a bunch of people here that are bat sh!t crazy. :lol:
Most of them need to find a website like tinfoilhatters.com . They can chant anti-government slogans and paste memes, conspiracy theorize and predict gloom and doom amongst like minded individuals. :lol:
