Let's do it, conspiracy theory time......

I would say no.

You should do some reading on the supercomputers that handle virtually all of the trading now.

Sketchy?

More times than not, our intervention causes more problems.

cough, ISIS, cough.

That's assuming he actually did, which he didn't. He nearly has the war won, why would he launch an attack to provoke the ire of the big boys?

And how could Assad have launched a gas attack when Obama made a deal with Russians to remove it all in 2013?

Pro Tip: Pay attention to International Politics if you are going to comment on them.



Incorrect. Obama got this one right.

We shouldn't have been intervening in their war to begin with, nor most conflicts around the war.

*insert comment about innocent civilians*

They agreed to give up their chem and Russia said they would make sure they did but the attack last April (I am pretty sure) was them so seems they didn't lose all of it. Also, one of the recently bombed facilities was (purportedly) a chemical R&D center.

As far as Obama's call, I agree Congress should be the authorizing agency and as I said it's a hard call attacking another country.

I think civilians have a right to not have to worry about being gassed by their government, I'm not saying we should be the world police but do think we have some responsibility to keep horribly wrong things from happening.

but the fact is he supposedly gassed the shit out of a neighborhood which is kinda illegal.
Russia is covering for them so how does that look?

he gassed people when obama was pres but obama was too scared to do anything. Why though? Was he scared of a war or what.

i'm not into this world news shit but this is just how it looks.

Obama went to Congress for permission (the way its supposed to be done) and was denied. The fact is he could have just done it. He was hesitant to attack (which imho was the wrong call)

Do you think he went to congress because he knew it would be denied?

His unwillingness to attack seems to support that idea.

I just don't know. I also don't know what real change a single attack would have brought. Trump's attack last year certainly did not do much.

It is a tough situation. It's very hard to say what the right thing is. We certainly don't want another Iraq and unless we are going to go in and remove Assad there is not much we can do but one-off attacks that do little. (Which begs the question why bother).

I certainly don't have the answer.

Hence the quotes... USA doesn’t like it and so the people will get some assistance because USA doesn’t want him in power

Well played!

Why do you think the US is getting involved? Assad is closing in one winning the civil war and we don't like that.

Hmm

Not really a conspiracy. The hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, we claimed Afghanistan, then went into Iraq. And where did all the contracts go to fix the oil field problems in Iraq go...........heard of Halliburton?

Not at all surprised. This is typical moves from the playbook. I wonder how long until "the people of Syria" overthrow Assad
