    As the world sits back and prepares to do a blame game ~ The universe is watching in horror and shock at the inaction for humanitarian decency. Pick a side any side but know the injustice will prevail and not one reason can justify this:

    I can hardly believe no one has the balls to get aid in there right now and get those people out! But nobody wants to cross...you know that country that can do no wrong! They are truly on their own. It won't take long (if not already done) for some people to make a video somewhere that they're are all crisis actors to soothe their mind of any wrong doing. Many will find ways to justify this...some will ignore it. Others will of course lay blame to one side or the other...The rebels did it! Right....as jets fly over and drop bombs on the hospital made to treat these people! So please try some way to politically justify this while watching.

    Me I'm in shock and will take a line from Shakespeare while I swear I will never come back to a planet and world such as this when I'm gone...never again!

    O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
    And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
    My heart is in the coffin ...
    And I must pause till it come back to me.

    Three words came to mind while watching that video clip from NBC: "Wag The Dog".

    Then watch a video not from NBC...it makes no difference...it a war crime it's inhumane and wagging the dog or not...it should be intolerable and addressed immediately.

    But you know what that will take? Confrontation of that country that again can do no wrong.

    Whether this was the little girl with the kitten, or a real gas attack, I don't believe for one second Assad woke up one day, and decided to start gassing his own people. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Same as the fables of Saddam's troops tearing babies apart upon entering Kuwait. What *does* make sense to me, is that certain entities want the US engaged militarily in as many key spots on this planet as possible.

    Where was the out rage last week?

    US admits it conducted Mosul air strike 'at location' where '200' civilians died


    The amount of coverage on this issue (syria, not iraq) is very suspicious...


    wag the dog indeed.

    Funny that you say fake...

    The claims are that a nerve agent was used, similar to Sarin... you have to have a full body suit on when decontaminating nerve agents; you certainly don't handle contaminated anything with any exposed skin as seen on that video.. Oh and water is useless for decontamination.

    I'm NBC trained, been gassed with CS many times for equipment confidence training.

    this looks fake

    Don't even need to make a video about it

    the tweet about the attack 24 hours before the attack happened is probably enough.. no video needed at all.

    though a video is always nice...

    The report is that Syria bombed a terrorist facility that had the nerve agents stored there without knowing it contained the agents. That is a story that makes sense. Assad gassing his own people or terrorists, in the current global tinderbox, does not.

    I'm not sure how much more I can take of this brutal and primative way of being ...............not just the wars, but the corruption, deviancy, and on and on!!

    No matter the advances; we have not evolved and brutality abounds in every nook and cranny of the world it seems..................we are a sick society>>>>>how much worse does it have to get before the masses say ENOUGH!!!

    Weeping.............whether real or not the damage is still done to the psyche.................

    Congratulations!

    Aside from Elen and Sandy you have successfully joined the world in the Blame Game. The very crutch that justifies war.

    Lionel's take I always appreciate, and he's come one hell of a long way from the local Tampa AM talk show host I used to listen to back in the day.

    IMO he is spot on about media distortions, namely in this one concerning Syria and also North Korea, with the latter being a focus of the war drums as well. The only reason I even continue to watch msm any more, is to be up on the latest propaganda Americans are being spoon fed. North Korea is such a threat to the U.S., exactly how? With their test missiles routinely falling dud into the Sea of Japan? But the trail of logic I'm supposed to follow is that now the Sea of Japan, tomorrow here at home thousands of miles away. This meme is getting so desperate that a guest on Morning Joe yesterday suggested that they don't even need a successful missile program, they can just smuggle a nuke across the border.

    Well boy howdy, and here we go again... "Something must be done, that crazy man must be stopped!" And China, Russia, you had better watch the f**k out too for that matter! Hell we'll kill em all, and let God sort em out!

    Everywhere I look it's wag the dog, so Cuba, Iran, don't for a second Uncle Sam has turned his eye from you either. And Libya, oh that's right, we already tended to you...

    Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is presented not as a war, but as an act of self defense against a homicidal maniac.
