Airstrikes last night in Syria didn't hit Syria's air force (~ 250 planes and 80 helicopters)
Why not?
Syria has killed hundreds of thousands of people with conventional weapons (and the chemical weapons were delivered by helicopter)
Apparently the Syria chemical production plant hit last night was not the only place where they manufacture these weapons.
So we let him keep some chemical weapons and don't remove the means to deliver them
I always find it interesting that we take issue with how Syria murders people. As long as they do it with conventional weapons we don't really seem to care
Mission Accomplished?
Trump tweeted this today.
"syria has killed hundreds of thousands of people"
do you mean hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the syrian civil war?
'
you have to realise that something like 14 or 15 countries have dropped bombs and or are fighting proxy wars in syria. what should the syrian regime have done? sit back and watch while a dozen or more foreign backed islamist groups carved the country up.
the only way to get the "rebels" out of their strongholds is to bomb them out which inevitably causes civilian casualties. the gulf nations and the west have more blood on their hands than assad, for funding and supporting the jihadists to stage and prolong the civil war.
and if you have been paying any attention to what's been going on , you have to be very naive to believe that assad committed this latest alleged chemical attack. it's widely accepted that the regime is/was well on it's way to winning. with the US and it's attack dogs champing at the bit to attack the regime. why would assad do the one thing that legitimizes such an attack.
