Silverdollar, my understanding is that UK supported the U.S. involvement and that the French were there before the Russians.
The French were there with a NATO commitment of about 500 people, who left in 2012.
The British had three wars in the area, defeated in all I believe. The country was relatively independent until the Russians invaded in late ’70s. After them, we’ve been the primary occupier.

i guess that I have to stand corrected in a way. Thanks for this input Silverdollar.

What is TRT news. And, of course they are going to say what this gentleman said. I am still thinking that the U.S. is sending a very clear message during this very dangerous time.
At this point I am not sure that this is a bad thing with all the really bad guys out there.
I think TRT stands for Turkey Radio TV.
It is broadcast out of Istanbul.
I should have looked it up so thanks for saving me a it of time CFS
The strike wouldnt happen without proof?
Well, maybe some peoples definition of “proof” is dif than others.
I find it really troubling b that there is a possibility that our government is perhaps not giving us truth but propoganda. I would bet that you do also.
A possibility Al?
It is what I currently choose to believe about the current regeim. I would certainlhy hope that I am correct.
A paragraph that just happened to be at sgt report.
There are lies, damned lies and news, to paraphrase British Prime Minister Disraeli who said: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics. Today we are fed with lies ubiquitously in the form of news and most people who just follow conventional media are totally unaware of the truth. Because the truth is not spoken by many today:
Politicians lie to mislead and indoctrinate the people.
Governments put out false economic information to serve their purpose, like unemployment or inflation data
Central bankers lie, because if they told the truth, the global financial bubble would burst instantaneously.
Bankers lie about the state of their banks because if they told their customers the real financial position, they would not have one single depositor.
Fake News and False Flags are now commonplace. Since most people are totally uncritical of all they read in the papers or watch on television, it is extremely easy for governments in the West or East, to publish lies and fake news.
Journalists lie because of their political leaning or because they are too lazy to find out the real facts.
Pension fund trustees lie because they dare not tell their pensioners that they are unlikely to receive more than a fraction of the pension they have been promised.
It continues @sgt
We swim in a sea of propaganda lies.
This is reallly a macro statement which much of which I don’t disageree. I am giving my opinion on two specific issues: the missles and the bomb!
Japan (Abe) claims that North Korea may be capable of sarin tipped missiles.
Thanks for the link, CFS. Listening to Abe speak shows me that this thought is proably not just bs.
Who in the heck is Kim wong stupid going to kill, with the sarin missile. His chances of gaining anything is “0” . Abe needs to spend some money on defense, and stop sending all those cheap cars to America. Let the Japanese defend their own country.
My opinion of Kim is that he definitely has a screw loose if he really thinks that he attack any country with significant reprecussions to his people.
I would bet that this little man is simply blustering to make him look very big in the eyes of other North Koreans. I think that is his rationale for all that he is doing.
What do you think OOTB?
I think you pretty much said it……..simply blustering…….
Either that OOTB or simply insane!
I was going to be good on GOOD FRIDAY…..but, ok, the guy is an idiot……. 🙂
He’s a fruit cake with nothing to lose. Threatening people who have a screw loose is not all that good an idea. He can take Seoul down with him. Trump is going to regret his meaningless gestures.
I’ve been wondering for days just how friendly China was with the US and they are now saying, “cool your jets.” The bully in the White House is about to regret his bluster.
From a military point of view, the missiles that hit cost $1 to $1.5 million and those who took out airplanes destroyed aircraft worth $100,000 apiece.
The MOAB was a gesture and while killing 36 enemy sounds like a big deal, it’s not. The US killed 18 Kurds who were “allies” in one air strike. Trump is all about smoke and mirrors.
A lot of folks are about smoke and mirrors.
Seriously, I truly hope that Trump proves what I think him to be – A maerick who cares about our country. But then again …
of course they are, they could use anthrax and a whole host of other chemicals.
would they waste a missile for these?
Why use a chemical missile when they could simply send a person in to poison the water?
Abe is using scare tactics to drum up support for the Japanese military to work with the americans.
Japan is an occupied vassal state.
Great food for thought b. So, in your opinion, what should the rest of the world do in regards to Japan?
What should the world do in regards to Japan?
Zilch, let the Japanese throw off the occupation themselves.
Whats Canada going to do about Japan?
We are a vassal ourselves.
Well b, at least so far the rest of the world is doing what you suggest. Hope it stays that way.
Let’s see the proof. Where is this “solid proof” that all of these scheming gremlins speak of ?
For anyone with an attention span of more than 15 minutes…..they will have noticed that pretty much every time they say that there is “proof”…..it later turns out to be a lie.
Assad had no reason to do anything like that.
Show the proof. Why would it be classified ? Would you risk disclosing to Assad how to pull off such an attack ? He’s already done it ……supposedly. What are you villains hiding ? Nothing ? Is that your schtick ?
Military Intelligence is an oxymoron.
Anyone who claims to know, and claims that there is proof even though it can’t be shown for some reason…..is lying. This is what some call…..The Deep State.
After years and years of this crap, many of us are tired of all of these liars and the massive evils that they do.
Many of us were hoping that Trump would drain this swamp. Not knowing for sure what bigger game may be afoot here…….I for one, am feel duped at this point.
And for all of those who are so anxious to “send a message”, should strap on their boots and go over there to send it themselves. Put up or shut up.
feeling duped…….ditto
First 100 days not looking to good……….jmho
I personally am so hopeful, OOTB, that I am simply of the mind to give the U.S. in what appears to me to be an attempt to reposition the world’s opinion of it after much tearing down.
Your opinion?
I am giving him the 100 days……….but, I betting the trojan horse has left the sable….hope I am wrong.
I kind of agree with you lookingin, I bring up the point of “sending a message” because I think that it is a real possibility in light of the major mistakes that we have madein the past.
If the U.S. follows up with more similar attacks to Syria, I will then copletely agree with you.
Syria…….and if Israel wants Syria……that is a big problem……..
I personally don’t think that the Zionists are that stupid.
Al, Israel wanting Syria, (euphratees to the nile?)(yinon plan) is exactly whats been going on.The pcs are available to anyone wanting to look.
And no, the Zionists are not stupid, theyre plans are being fulfilled, they are smart, it is the rest of us that are stupid.
Thats not derogatory, stupid is human, it is why the Zionist are winning and will win.
Not so much stupid as insane. Very good reason to believe they did 9/11.
Wha are you reerring to when you say “pcs”
pieces, ….the info and story is there, but you must piece it together yourself.
It is hidden in plain sight as they say.
GH, people are plain stupid.
What do you call a parent that allows their kid to go to war?
Well, some say proud, maybe we are insane.
Al:
Spicer read my piece about “The Clean Break from the Peace Process.” He even used the same terms the Neocons used 21 years ago.
http://12160.info/video/sean-spicer-s-freudian-slip-trump-s-goal-is-to-destabilize-syria
Rather than pursuing a “comprehensive peace” with the entire Arab world, Israel should work jointly with Jordan and Turkey to “contain, destabilize, and roll-back” those entities that are threats to all three.
What a coincidence, I guess.
I find it difficult to believe that Israel was “behind 9/11
Understandable, Al. But one step at a time.
First off, one has to get clear on whether the official story is true or not.
WTC7 cleared that up for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxl06jxfgRk
47 story sky scraper. Massive steel frame. Office fires. Free-fall collapse indistinguishable from a controlled demolition. Absurd.
Or, if not, maybe I’ll go into the demolition business–I’ve always been very good at starting camp fires.
From there, more investigation, critical thinking and rearranging the furniture in one’s reality.
I wouldn’t say it was ‘Israel’, or all zionists by any stretch, for that matter. But certain Zionists and their allies? This, of course, describes the NeoCon GW Bush administration that would have had to have been involved if the official story isn’t true.
Like b says the pieces are there. And it’s the only way I can find that this jigsaw puzzle fits together.
Means? Motive? Opporunity?
Cui bono?
The Mossad agents who worked for Urban Moving Systems admitted on Israel TV that they were, “sent to record the event.” You can believe they didn’t bring the towers down if you like but they certainly knew all about it at the very least.
Robert, sound minds take similar paths!
Robert, Can I get a speicific source on the actions o the Mosad agents from you.
Al:
Said one of the men, denying that they were laughing or happy on the morning of Sept. 11, “The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.”
I know the Syria attack by the US is old news, But there is clear evidence the US did not tell the whole truth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TEJxztJKQ
If the US is proven not to be totally truthful, just how much of what they state is true?
95%, 50%? How do we know?
I guess that the quesion now is, “just how truthful is the new generation”. We know, beyond a shadow of a dooubt that “players of the past eight years at least (notice I said OF THE PAST EIGHT YEARS AT LEAST!)
Here is Trump explaining how he casually decided to launch a war which may lead to stumbling into a nuclear holocaust over a “beautiful chocolate cake”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eSz8GM5hvM&feature=youtu.be
How nice and casual.
I must be insane……..
You are definitely NOT INSANE lookingin. You aresimply inquisitive and rightfully so!
I have to add lookingin that a major nuclear war or a war between the superposers has not started as a result of this action..
Nuclear war wont kill us, environmental is our challenge.
Among other things b!
Sky News out of the UK is reporting the MOAB killed 18 men fighting on the side of the US.
The above comment about 18 dead is incorrect about location:
http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-us-military-misdirected-strike-syria-20170413-story.html
To me, it semed that a lot of questions were raised by this article.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4409152/China-flaunts-rows-mighty-missiles-state-TV.html
China is sabre rattling too.
I would appear, thankfully, that Mainland China is siding with the U.S.
And now for something completely different:
Good job Trump did not give Xi a hamburger!
Haven’t had a chance to hear this interview yet but just heard Michael Savage and he has some very interesting things to say about Trump and Syria.
Today’s Savage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53HyoNwuMg4
I think that he is preaching to the choir.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me dozens of times…
Off topic, but speaking of ‘chemical attacks’, another series on vaccines is running this week:
“When I was a kid in 1983 the recommended vaccine schedule was 11 doses of 4 vaccines.
The 2017 schedule for American children is 50 doses of 14 vaccines before they turn 6. And they will have a total of 69 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18.
Sometimes as many as 12 vaccines are given in a single visit!”
Another chemical attack:
1 in 9 Americans over age 12 are on antidepressants, 1 in 4 women age 40-59 are on antidepressants.
And, according to the previous link on vaccines, “1-in-4 kids today is taking some type of prescription medication.”
Is there a better solution than Big Pharma? I can’t do better than the top commenter in the preceding link, forbiddenhealing:
“America has been in an economic depression for many years, burdened by corporate and bureaucratic monopolies, chronic threats of terrorists and diseases all wrapped in a fake media bubble>>>so people feel out of control, are regulated at every turn and filled with divisive junk conflicts over politics/race/religion and PURPOSEFULLY KEPT IN FEAR….Russia-phobia and mushroom clouds are back under a whacked-out administration and corrupted representation backed by Wall Street and foreign lobbies. Add defective nutrition lacking quality fats and proteins, a plethora of industrial metals/toxins and unhealthy constraints on worker lifestyles>>>and call it a lack of pills…and most folks are bamboozled and confuseled. Psychological stress adds to physical oxidative inflammatory stress to keep people obedient and disempowered.
So get a clear understanding of the situation, retrieve personal responsibility, straighten up and fly right….Detox w Mega C/chlorella, correct mineral levels Mg/K/Zn/Se/I..go to an unprocessed diet rich in antioxidant polyphenols..swap fear for exercise and sunshine>>>>And step away from the fake narrative crippling the planet…There is no reason for wars, pollution, bad food and phony medicine other than a psychopathic elite stealing the gold and locking you in the basement.
Very interesting comment regarding the causes of what I refer to as the public depression. I happen to agree with you.
‘forbiddenhealing’ is kind of like the Matthew of the Mercola forum. Minus the excellent charts.
The root of the problem, pun intended, is yet another chemical attack, by the likes of Monsanto.
Roundup/glyphosate damages the soil microbial community, and thus the nutritional qualilty of our food. It also damages the microbial community in our gut, thus inhibiting our ability to absorb nutrients from our already nutrient-deficient food. Gut disorders are a huge profit center for Medical Industrial Complex, as are all the consequent disorders resulting from the malnutrition and inflammation that gut disorders cause.
When Trump hits Monsanto and Ajinomoto with Tomahawks, you’ll hear me cheering.
ditto on the tomahawk to Monsanto……….
ROUND um UP…….. and move um out……….
Nation of Laws……….great comment from McAdams.
We lost the Afgan War the day we entered the area. Except the revenue gained from the poppy fields ran by cia papa bush, has now been exposed on utube for all to see. Papa Bush records are sealed in the mountain with the MOAB. The war is over in Afgan, and we can claim victory , with filled in caves we will never see ,covered over with one big Mother of all bombs. Now Papa Bush is safe, so he can go down in American History as a great one timer president, who forgot to “read my lips”.
“We lost the Afgan War the day we entered the area.”
+1 Jerry.
To this day, most people seem to think waging war on Afghanistan was the correct response to 9/11.
Even if the official story were true, the response was idiotic. The proper response would have been to hunt down the terrorists, not destroy an entire country and punish millions who had no involvement.
the true story is out there , just to much time required to tell a general public , who is more interested in basketball, football, and checkers……jmho
Or, for that matter, great red wine!
great red wine , is to expensive for the sheeple……..
So that makes me one of the chosen few?
We didnt lose in Afghanistan, what we think of as “winning” was not the purpose.
Or…’we’ lost, ‘they’ won. Obviously ‘they’ aren’t Afghanis.

Syrian girl spells out top eight reasons why the US, UK, France, and Israel hate Syria:
–no Rothschild-controlled Central Bank
–no IMF debt
–no genetically modified foods
–oil and pipelines
–anti-secret societies
–anti-Zionist
–secularist
–nationalist

Its time people noticed Syrian Girl.
It would be hard not to notice her 😉
Subtract 20 -30 yrs from her and she is the twin of my high school “sweetie”.
I have found her to be a phenominal source of info concerning Syria for years now.
After the war, she wants to run for president.
She is loyal to assad due to necessity, but wants elections.
Subtract 20 -30 years from her and she is the twin of your high school “sweetie”? Syrian Girl is about 30 years old. I have to believe that your high school “sweetie” was older than 10.
she looks 40-45 to me.maybe Im wrong, just guessing.
GH, those reasons are accurate but the average American is too brainwashed and ignorant to believe it.
ditto
Most wont see the statement, the rest dont care.
Being interested might come when the economy slows to the point of inflation,pensions not paying etc
Thing is, being uneducated they wont understand and will blame….who knows?
Then comes the violence of course.
I know most americans dont see their country as a police state, but they will.
It is now, they are blind because they dont give a darn about their neighbours.
They will realize when they face it themselves.
saylaveeeeee
We have neighbors?!
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Is there such a thing as a non-police state that conducts 100% surveillance on its citizens?
The iron fist is wearing a velvet glove, for the moment, though the glove is getting quite worn.
Zappa:
I am not sure it is a police state.
It’s all in how one defines ‘police state’ I suppose. There’s the ‘Brave New World’ version, and then there’s the ‘1984’ version. The US leans toward the former. E.g. the pharmaceuticals I mention elsewhere in the thread.
Even so, the US has the highest number of prisoners of any country.
SWAT teams conduct over 50,000 raids per year, which may well entail men in black breaking down the door in the middle of the night and shooting the family dog. Once upon a time it was considered reasonable to answer an entry like that with lead. Try that now and they’ll go Waco on you.
I can tell you, when I first came to South America one of the big attractions was that it felt more free. One could basically do anything one wanted, as long as it wasn’t causing anyone else a problem. It was like taking off an uncomfortable shoe that you had barely noticed until the relief of taking it off. Alas, it’s gone downhill fast. And, of course, it has its dark side as well.
Every place has its good and its bad, and the US certainly has plenty that is good. It’s the downhill trend that bothers me.
Propaganda to create mental cages is the secret sauce.
…[the] “High learnt how to keep their position permanently – by cultivating ignorance among the other classes and by constantly surveying them through the Thought Police. Part of this strategy included the maintenance of a state of continual warfare… The three major powers were not fighting this perpetual war for victory; they were fighting to keep a state of emergency always present as the surest guarantee of authoritarianism.” George Orwell
“A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.” ~Aldous Huxley
gh, how you define “police state”?
nutin 2 do wit it.
police shoot who they want with few if any reprocusions, civil forfeiture, check the vids on strip searches beside roads.
geez, look whats happening at airports.

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
~George Washington
“It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.”
~Ludwig von Mises
“Even if it were desirable, America is not strong enough to police the world by force. If that attempt is made, the blessings of liberty will be replaced by coercion and tyranny at home. We cannot practice might and force abroad and retain freedom at home.”
~Howard Buffett, Nebraska Congressman (1952)
“Of the enemies of true liberty, war is perhaps the most dreaded because it compromises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people.”
~James Madison
“Every ambitious would-be empire clarions it abroad that she is conquering the world to bring it peace, security and freedom, and is sacrificing her sons only for the most noble and humanitarian purposes. That is a lie, and it is an ancient lie, yet generations still rise and believe it! … If America ever does seek Empire, and most nations do, then planned reforms in our domestic life will be abandoned, States Rights will be abolished — in order to impose a centralized government upon us for the purpose of internal repudiation of freedom, and adventures abroad. The American Dream will then die — on battlefields all over the world — and a nation conceived in liberty will destroy liberty for Americans and impose tyranny on subject nations.”
~George S. Boutwell
“Our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.”
~General Douglas McArthur
“Now the government can declare ANYTHING illegal regardless of whether it’s wrong, such as making it illegal to not purchase health insurance.
And if you resist the government’s declaration you will be shot dead.
If you doubt the shot dead part, try refusing to obey the law AND refuse to capitulate to the government’s attempts to force you to follow the law – eventually you will be the target of a militarized SWAT team. If you refuse to submit you will be shot dead.”

Anyone else find it ironic that as Good Friday dawns, we’re on the verge of war with North Korea, Russia, possibly Iran, Syria and I don’t know where China stands.

US successfully tests new nuclear gravity bomb

So funny, the americans test nukes, but if the Koreans test a nuke….welll…we must kill them all.
What I dont understand, is why they talk so much, why dont the simply carpet bomb the place with nukes and be done with it?
There must be an agenda.
I’m not saying I believe this. But in my idle moments I have wondered if Kim Jong whatever is playing his part to a Tee–to create a tizzy and a distraction from time to time. You know, spice up the plot a bit.
Interesting point GH.
US did not really test a new nuclear gravity bomb. Just the delivery system. The test was intended to evaluate the weapon’s ‘non-nuclear functions’ and the capability of the F-16 fighter to successfully deploy the bomb. No bomb was detonated.

This was probably already posted here. But for those who haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. RFK Jr. gives relatively in-depth context for the Syria conflict. If all Americans knew this stuff, the situation would be completely different.

Sorry I could not see anything writtn by Robert Jr.
Al, the article that GH linked to was written by him.
Al: You probably meant the British couldn’t do anything, not the French, which is one nation that I believe never tried to do anything in Afghanistan.
