standing up to Assad. Also for choosing the least destructive option, proposed by Mattis, as opposed to more aggressive measures suggested by others.
"Today the last 8% of declared chemical weapons were removed from #Syria. Great work done by all involved"
Another crowning achievement of the Obama administration.
Manufactured more chemical agents since 2014?
They gave up all their declared chemical weapons. They kept the ones they did not declare. Everyone understood this except brain damaged left wing morons.
Chlorine is easy and quick to make. You can do it in your bathroom, if you mix bleach and acid-based toilet bowl cleaners.
I wouldn’t recommend it, though.

I don't know if that is the basis for WMD's, but doing that in your bathroom?....just bears repeating: Do not do it.
Concentrations aren’t high enough. But “rarely” is much more frequently than “never.”
You can also generate chloramine gas, which is related to chlorine, by mixing bleach and ammonia....so don’t pee in a toilet with bleach it, or use bleach to mop up urine.
if you happen to be stung by a jellyfish.
Not sure there is enough ammonia in urine to cause a problematic reaction. But, I'm not a chemist.
It's also possible that Caroline Wozniacki will get in touch with me soon and invite me to a romantic dinner date.
Believe what you want to believe.
no US, Brit or French casualties. The only winners in this exercise are the US and Euro companies who will sell $100 million worth of replacement missiles. War is big business, and business is good.
I note they struck one day before inspectors were due to arrive at those sites.
enough to drive policy.
I promise that business interests played no role in this decision.

He's interpreted what you wrote to mean that defense contractors call up the White House or the Pentagon and order them to attack Syria.
And, yes, you'd have to be a fool to think that the defense industry doesn't help indirectly push us to these fireworks displays every couple years.
Chris runs into lefty, military-industrial-complex explanations for US foreign policy all the time. Chris recognizes it when he sees it. Chris thinks it’s nonsense.
MAS, however, being the board E-O-E, knows what everyone is thinking better than they do themselves. So Chris will defer to his expertise-O-E.
In this case, Chris is employing yet another logical fallacy (he's nothing if not a fountainhead of fallacies), it is guilt by association as an ad hominem fallacy. CC advances an argument that Chris associates with Noam Chomsky, therefore CC's idea must be false. No explanation nor reasoning for why the premise itself is false, just the aforementioned logical fallacy.
Now, if you're Chris, what you want to do next is invoke an argument by authority, which is the standard logical fallacy upon which he constructs his rickety claims. "I'm an expert, therefore Opinion A that I advance is true." Or, "Prof. X, whom I know, is an expert on this, therefore his opinion on this is true and yours is not because you lack his credentials."
After all, when was the last time anyone remembers wise people with credentials ever got anything wrong, particularly in the area of politics, particularly in the area of foreign policy?
I’m going to have to go with the telepath on this one.
I am so smart. I am SO fucking smart. Why don’t these posters recognize how smart I am, and worship me like a god? Because I am a god. Not THE God. But still.
And I don’t need no expertise. I got smarts coming out my man boobs.

BTW, if anyone is keeping track, he's now moved on to the strawman fallacy.

Almost no military casualties, either, since all these sites were evacuated last week. But still, a very precise strike, more significant for its message than destruction.
And probably most of Maddow viewers.
I doubt Putin and Assad care that much.

Hannity even though I agree with him a lot. I think both of us are mature enough to see rabble rousers for what they are. It is possible to be a staunch liberal or conservative without subscribing to the junk that both of them pedal.
My post was not a cut at Chris at all, it was a statement of fact about a Maddow and her crazy viewers though. It was also made with the knowledge that she accused Trump of a “tail wagging the dog” policy shortly after his address even though France and the UK were in full support of the idea as well.
Why bring her up at all, when Chris94 was trying to say something halfway nice about your boy.
"Hey Trump did something pretty good today"
"Yeah, well, Hillary would have fucked it up"
Sure. Whatever.
....sorry Chris. I was seriously attacking Maddow only. We are both happy with this worked out well so far.
Btw Lehigh, I do understand about being an occasional Madcow connoisseur. I couldn’t get enough of her show on election night in Nov ‘16.
Which makes her really hot.

Some years back, I ran opium on the Spice Road with a couple of ex-Royal Navy boys and a Moroccan wanna-be-pirate sous chef name Osman. As we trod in the weary dust of Ghengis Khan and Casey Casem, we bedded many a fine exotic woman, among other exotic things. We were wanted in a half dozen Caliphats, typically for dromedariophilia, but that is another matter. At once we found ourselves in a murky, misty bar in Constantinople, surrounded Djinni debutantes, looking for a table of Hold'em. While nothing could possibly sound more enticing than a little Persian strip poker, Osman begged our pardon, as we were bespoke. At which point, the demure Djinni nymph leader politely excused us, murmuring "Now I owe you an apology. I has assumed you were a guy."
That was original. I can't believe you ripped it off.
