Comical that you think we are all under that class/ station/race.. But it is telling
You claimed my bias but you stepped that up. Not me. You. Not me. Stop being an idiot.
My fantasy world? Have you ever read my life? Please stop the misguidedness. You mislabeled me, but it is cool. I understand your need for facts has departed, and blame is what you have.
Keep stoned and sedated.
I will end up on no list. I make my own hours, decisions, and move ahead at an accelerated pace. You will not have to worry about me. I am not perfect, but I am also not afraid of battling stupidity.
Left leaning news reporting is calling it Trumps Missiles. Sensationalized headings.
Maybe not so derogatory. Guess I'd have to see the news report itself. As long as they weren't reporting Trump-branded missiles... that would seem to be a conflict of financial interests on the President's part.

I think this is another archive of Trump's tweets.
Maybe someone with Twitter knowledge can weigh in (not on Twitter, myself), but I don't see why a request for donations to help maintain such an archive online--a searchable database of all of Trump's tweets--makes it suspect.
Has Donald Trump or any of his spokespersons ever asserted that any of these archived Twitter messages are fake?
Assads air force planes (or Russian collaborators) dropped the gas bombs...his opponents dont have any airplanes. So that leaves him responsible. I dont condone killing or injuring civilians...should kill all their military you can. I dont have a problem with muslims staying in their own countries. I dont want them here, and apparently Europe dont want them anymore after realizing their mistake letting them in...once you got the breach in the dam, your not stopping the water. Keep them out of here like Trump wants, and keep any reins you can on the ones already here and deport them at any sign of a problem. Liberals dont want any restrictions, so any further attacks in the US are on them. A new big attack happens here, and those same liberals will be crying the administration should be doing something even though THEYRE the ones blocking doing anything preemptive at all. Assad does this again, and the US should take out the rest of his airbases and aircraft. Dont even mention the UN...thats about the most worthless agency in the world. All it does is appear to do good and soak up every donating country's money like a sponge. If the US quit the UN, it would end up with less power than the Chicago police department.

Well, I heard we gave the ruskies 30 minutes warning which of course they gave to Assad. Now I hear it was an hour's warning. Now I hear we did not decimate the airstrips, too easy to repair quickly.
Then I see the aftermath. WHAT, ? 60 Tomahawk missiles could not level the hangers ?
I would call Assad and tell him that he has another hour to vacate. That we are gonna finish the job.
This is no time to be a puzzy.
Ought oh, ... a russian frigate has entered the Mediterranean Sea.
Not once did I state that did or did not *believe* anything. I ONLY said that it is impossible to tell truth from fiction when you don't post your SOURCES. It is hard to *believe* that we have to have this kind of a problem with someone who claims to be a teacher and blathers on about challenging his students to support what they *believe*.
If you want to go off on the usual leftie tangent from the main topic and skip merrily down a blind alley going on and on about what you *believe* to be hypocrisy on the part of the President, then you'll have to skip alone. There are orders of magnitude between what citizen Trump "tweeted" 4-5 years ago and what he understands about the capabilities of being the President and ordering military actions now. ITS A NON-ISSUE and changes NOTHING.

And Trumps response to the gas attacks was a 59-strong tomahawk missile attack on a Syrian Air Base. How is this "off topic"?
Repeat:

I think the first one was real, second one I dont know, last one is not true...almost every recent president since at least Ike, done similar things without congress.

Im sure both the US and Russia have a lot more in the general area. Is the US military scared...doubt it. One US fighter-bomber can take out that Russian ship and send it to the bottom in a matter of minutes...and im also sure Russia knows that. Their just 'rattleing their sabres'.
These are excerpts from a new report that was duplicated on Yahoo! The report comes from Tareq Haddad of the International Business Times.
MIT prof says chemical weapons attack in Syria was likely the work of Syrian rebels, not Syrian government
Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), issued a series of three reports in response to the White House's finding that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.
[Postol has] concluded that the US government's report does not provide any "concrete" evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
"In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document points to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.
The image Postol refers to is that of a crater containing a shell inside, which is said to have contained the sarin gas.
His analysis of the shell suggests that it could not have been dropped from an airplane as the damage of the casing is inconsistent from an aerial explosion. Instead, Postol said it was more likely that an explosive charge was laid upon the shell containing sarin, before being detonated.
The implication of Postol's analysis is that it was carried out by anti-government insurgents as Khan Sheikhoun is in militant-controlled territory of Syria.
It's actually more of Shadeball once again citing whackadoodle sources as "authoritative".
"Postol has investigated the 2013 Ghouta chemical attack, and he has collaborated with Maram Susli (known online as 'Syrian Girl') in investigating the incident through examining YouTube footage and other sources. Together they believe they found a number of items to be inconsistent with the conventional narrative of the incident."
YOUTUBER "Syrian Girl" (Maram Susli)
So it seems that "Teddy" does his "expert analysis" from singular 3rd hand grainy photos and girls on Youtube...

Hey, I did not say that I accept this Theodore Postol's thinking as overriding the U.S. intelligence agencies' assessment that it is the Assad regime that is responsible for the sarin gas attack.
I put it up here for interest. If people are interested, they can keep an eye on their news venues to see if there is any more about this. I would be surprised if there would be any kind of official U.S. government response to these critiques from "Theo".
I did not describe anything as "authoritative". That's just randye "putting words in my post". Reacting to the message that he thinks that I posted, or the message that he wants me to have posted--but not the message that I actually posted.
It might be an interesting endeavor, to use the links in the Yahoo! report to look at the rest of what Postol has to say.
I don't expect to find that kind of time for it.
