Is this another "WMD" episode?

The trump administration appears to be adamant that "Assad is to blame" and is sabre rattling ready for another intervention.
:facepalm:
Just like Iraq and Libya, and we all know how well that turned out.
 
This dude... :facepalm:

John McCain rips Trump administration over Syria policy - CNNPolitics.com

...chief warmonger.

Wake up sheeple! etc...
I suppose that anybody who questions the actions of warmongers is automatically a "conspiracy theorist". Case closed. No further questions your honour. Strike first and look for evidence after. WMD all over again.
 
There is one *slight* difference - there have been what appear to be (several) chemical attacks in Syria.

But trump is also trying to sabre-rattle over North Korea. In both these cases, other countries would probably have more influence in the situation. (For Assad, that might be Russia and for Kim, China has a closer relationship than the usa ).

New president, same old bullshit. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump. What "appears" to be several chemical attacks. The previous supposed chemical attacks were not proven, just like WMD.
It's like groundhog day.
 
I don't know what happened. I have been told that "Assad did it", and I'm supposed to take that as read and not ask any questions. I was also lied to about Iraq and Libya by the very same people telling me the Assad did it. That is not enough to justify military action.

It's literally shoot first, ask questions later. In the future when we discover (as is my expectation) that things are not at all as they have been presented it'll be a matter for the 'fringe news media', out there with the alt-right and the anti-vaxers and the propornot-Left and the info-wars lot that any "official findings" will be paid any attention whatsoever to.

Or "we're going to shoot anyway and you can't do shit". Thank goodness for "humanitarian" US foreign policy. Were would we be without it.
 
Before the antagonists start with their "you're just a conspiracy theorist" bullshit, and "you get all your information from youtube and wikipedia and it's not credible"...etc. Stop right there. Bring some real evidence to the table that justifies the escalation of military action headed by the latest warmonger in chief. Bear in mind that there were apparently very strong and compelling and supposedly "credible" arguments in favour of bombing Iraq based on WMD, which turned out to be bullshit and helped to create the clusterfuck in that region.

The previous chemical weapons attacks were extensively proven by independent autopsies and toxicology reports which back up eyewitness accounts. The OCPW have confirmed their use.

The FFM’s findings established the facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals as weapons in Syria and confirmed that chemical weapons had been used. The FFM’s findings were the basis for the work of the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), an independent body established by the UN Security Council (Resolution 2235, 7 August 2015). The JIM’s purpose is to identify the perpetrators of the chemical weapon attacks confirmed by the Fact Finding Mission.

Can you point to a single poster looking to justify the escalation of military action by the US?

And escalation? They have carried out 8000 airstrikes within syria since 2014. This single one on a different target appears to be the only one that's suddenly bothered a lot of people. The far more deadly russian airstrikes even less. The assad ones - not at all. You would oppose all of these three though right?

Let's be honest, it's the target rather than the idea of US attacks that has these types backs up isn't it?

Yes, if the US now goes to war with Syria overtly this mess can explode into far greater proportions with even greater loss of life (regional, worldwide?). In Russia (because Putinbot natch) a pessimist is said to be someone who thinks things can't get worse, whereas an optimist is someone who knows they can.
