Watching those images of little children being hosed down reminds us of how cruel the world we live in is. Governments are supposed to provide safety and security to its citizens. Yet we see so many cases where governments claiming their commitment to the safety and wellbeing of their citizens become the perpetrators of these horrendous acts. Very disgusting.

fake news
for dem ISIS holdouts in Douma, screaming bout fake chemical attacks is the last gambit now that endgame approaching
the Saudis overreach and now abandoning them
they still hoping they can fool Trump
Where is the report that this attack is not true.
use your common sense
this is a false flag 'attack'
It is highly doubtful that it is false news.
In all news reporting, whether on the TV, newsprint, etc., one needs to be cognizant about the time, date, etc., of the reports.

I am not saying it is "false news"
there are unverified reports (from the usual anti-Assad/pro ISIS outlets) of a chemical attack by the Syrian army in Douma which simple logic tells you makes no bloody sense
Jaish al Islam, hunkered down in Douma, just negotiated safe passage out of there within the last 24 hours
think!!
Washington (CNN) Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that President Donald Trump's comments that the US military would leave Syria "very soon" had emboldened Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, resulting in the reported chemical weapons attack Saturday that killed dozens of the country's civilians.
Trump may reconsider and launch another 60 cruise missiles on Assad.
The issue is Bashar was working with North Korea to get nuclear weapons while smiling with the Americans and talking sweet things. Israel caught him and told the Americans. The Americans want his regime to go but people like Trump are cautious. Trump knows the possible negative outcomes of removing the Assad regime.
This is ISIS!
I never see a president like Bashar Al Assad who would prefer to see his entire country torn to pieces and millions of his people are killed and displaced but refused to step down. Doesn't he has enough money to retire himself and his family and let the people breathe easier? He is risking war by pulling many countries in the region in conflicts.
Syria says strike on military base carried out by Israeli warplanes.
And that is what concerns me more. Leaders who behave like they will be around forever doesnât even take the necessary steps to develop others who will be ready to take over when they begin to loose their effectiveness. This leaves a vacuum that ends up in the way things ended up in many parts of the Middle East as well as other countries. Perhaps even the PPP although theirs isnât as bad as what happens in some of these countries.
It is not surprising that an Arab country would blame Israel. However, as much as I am totally against the Israeli abuse of the Palestinians, I donât see them releasing chemical weapons in Syria.

Israel is being blamed for the retaliatory airstrikes on Syria, not for releasing the chemical weapons.
I doubt this was the Syrian govt. someone setting up for another USA intervention after trump expressed a desire to disengage.
This was the work of Wahab terrorists!
