A New War

Yay, we have a new war! 

Add to the Gulf of Tonkin, the "local border dispute" in Kuwait, the "mushroom cloud" from Iraq, now chemical weapons in Syria! Finally we have a way of ending the Assad regime with cruise missiles and bombers, and no need to give more weapons to the rebels, which consist of good rebels (who like us) and bad rebels (who don't like us). If the bad rebels get more weapons they might attack our friends. But now we don't have to worry about that any more. Well played, Obama, well played!

Syria: Cameron and Obama agree to military strike over chemical weapons. The US president sealed the deal in a 40-minute phone call to the Prime Minister at his holiday retreat in Cornwall

Chemical weapons in Syria crosses a red line, 

said President Obama. The picture below shows all the red lines that we crossed that didn't make us go to war. Were those dead people somehow less important than the ones now?

Manufacturing consent? 

Below are the web searches for "chemical weapons Syria" over the past year. Quite an increase all of a sudden. How do you get that many people talking about an issue all at once at the same time? Two letters: PR.

Wag the chemical dog. 

Now this may be far fetched, but how many of us have actually seen the chemical attack victims up close and personal? I haven't. On radio and TV "experts" were commenting on video clips they've seen and how "consistent" they were with a chemical attack. The Syrians claim that they suddenly "found" chemical weapons in a rebel tunnel in Damascus. Absurd, I know, who's going to believe that. But isn't it equally absurd to think that Assad who has been repeatedly warned not to use chemical weapons "or else" (full force of America) and who has been holding on to his power pretty good, especially recently where people just want the fighting to stop, that this very same Assad is now using chemical weapons knowing full well that he would dig his own grave that way? Yeah, right, who's gonna believe that? WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!! So what if the chemical victims are real and not made in Hollywood, is it conceivable that the rebels themselves used those weapons? Or, if we don't trust them quite that much to have that capability, that some third party who's not the Syrian government and not rebel forces (I can't imagine who) has planted these weapons in order to give us an excuse to go to war. I think that's too far fetched. What we are being fed by the media and our government who never lies certainly must be the truth.

In summary: 

the use of chemical weapons in Syria being a false flag attack makes a lot of sense, anything else not so much.
