    obama didn't move against syria because he had evidence that the supposed chemical attack was not done by assad ... why the media continues to peddle this lie is why we should not trust these sources ...

    clinton is a neo-liberal war hawk ... it's not wonder she supports trump on this ...

    How is this article "proof" of anything? It's an attempt at persuasive writing, with a clear opinion. There's no evidence that it's meticulously researched and sourced. It's no different than reading any other article at any other site. The only difference is that you post ones with pro-Russia positions. I don't know how you can say you discovered the "truth" by reading coutnerpunch, global research, sputnik or RT.
    why do you say all the sites I post from are russian? ... listen ... russia's position in syria is directly related to why the US and their posse want regime change in syria ... so, they can push a pipeline from qatar into europe ... right now russia has a large share of that market and they don't want to lose it ... so, I understand their motive ... but it doesn't make their information less reliable than the horrible work of journalism put forth by the western media ... i mean someone from like nbc news told people to follow bana ... the fake twitter account of some 7 year old syrian girl they are exploiting ... he's deleted that tweet since but still - if you are getting your news about syria from

    a: a fake twitter account
    b: the white helmets
    c: human rights watch

    then you should know you are getting played plain and simple ... there are a gazillion people outing these fraudsters online ... posting fake videos and pictures ... essentially lying ...

    seymour hersch, a well respected AMERICAN journalist, is the one that broke the story on the fact syria didn't use chemical weapons in ghouta ... so, he's not russian ... but the onlyl people reporting this are not western media ... so, if the only way you will accept evidence is if it comes from anderson coooper - it's just not gonna happen ...

    again tho - to you and everyone reading ... think critically about what is going on there ... I really don't see how anyone can think that the syrian gov't would at this stage gas their own people ... especially considering the very likely outcome it has brought forth ...

    I have yet to find or see any proof that it was Assad that ordered the chemical attack. Does anyone have any? Furthermore, Trump launching a strike of that caliber without congressional approval is illegal. The president is allowed discretion to carry out acts of war without congressional approval ONLY when national security or the nation itself is under immanent attack. Syria clearly did not represent an immanent danger to the US. Impeachment hearings should start soon.

    If we are supposed to attack Syria for this attack on their own people who was supposed to attack the US for the attack on Waco?

    The davidians were stock piling weapons and shot first. Koresh wanted to go.

    I forgot that it gave govt the right to murder women and children. Sorry.

    I think you are woefully misinformed yet again. There was a legal warrant to search the property. The Davidians started shooting. The government gave many opportunities (some taken) to release anyone who wanted to go. At the end of the day.. who set the fire? Not the ATF. It was Koresh. Who is responsible for the deaths? Koresh. Who wanted to die a martyr?? Koresh.

    Yeah.. I agree with you here. I don't trust anyone that talks to anyone from another country. In fact, I think the entire Senate Foreign Relations Committee should be disbanded, and the members tried for treason. The logic is unassailable.

    Nice straw man. Wow.. way to post a bunch of "Rattner" links. That is really powerful stuff. Remind me again who the fuck Rattner is?

    Here's the difference between you and me (along with the likely thousands of differences). I'll judge people on their individual actions. You judge people based on their race, creed, ethnicity or if they have the word "foreign" in their job description.

    For an alleged lawyer, you are really bad at constructing an argument. It might be because the argument you'd like to use would get you banned from here, so you are handicapped.

    Those articles are all from 2010. Steve Rattner is another wealthy Jewish New York businessman associated with the Democratic Party. Hence the hate and vilification from people such as rr. Whose usual argument as you mentioned would probably get him banned. But at the moment is on probation.
