In response to a clear false flag event in which Assad is alleged to have gassed his own people, unthinking fools on the left and right want Trump to do something.
Guradig writer Matthew d’Ancona moans Don’t Expect the West to Act on Syria’s Latest Horror.
Conscience has become the mayfly of our era: here today, gone tomorrow. For the moment, the world is transfixed by the horrific images from Douma, near the Syrian capital, Damascus. Dozens have died, and hundreds lie injured after what was quite clearly a chemical weapon attack.
Dead children, their mouths flecked with foam, chide us through our screens. Condemnation, calls for action, a global spasm of what Martin Amis calls “species shame”: the pattern of response to the long Syrian catastrophe has become almost ritualised.
Another Rush to Judgement
Fools like d’Ancona demand action, with no evidence as to who did what.
And curiously, this attack happened right as Trump announced he was pulling out of Syria.
Evidence?
Who needs evidence? Warmongers don’t need no stinkin evidence. On the rare occasions they decide evidence is necessary, they make it up or plant a false flag.
War Cries
- i24 reports Military to Present Trump with Syria Strike Options Within Hours.
- Senator Graham, always willing to bomb any country at any time, said a decision to withdraw troops from Syria the “single worst decision” Trump could make. Today he Graham calls Syria a ‘Defining Moment’ in Trump’s presidency.
- Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) demands an International Response to Syria Chemical Attack.
