    Just the 58 people killed today for no reason. 11 children today died for no reason.

    When will this world ever stop. Forget about Trump bashing(bar war talk) we should be concentrating on targeting countries whos army kill innocent people for no reason but pure greed.

    America and Russia are the leaders in the pack, but we have so many nut jobs out there who have so much power is scary to think.

    I see the "activists" and your man in Coventry are back in business.
    Most likely a diversion from the mass killings of civilians in Mosul.

    While strict propaganda is likely minor in the EU and USA, I don't believe everything I hear on the news because of all the bias.

    There are many armed groups operating in Syria, to say the Syrian Army is responsible is premature.

    Attack on the hospital after makes it doubly awful. All sides are pretty dispicable in this conflict.

    A government airforce jet was seen releasing the weapon moments before​ people started suffering immediately afterwards ,
    And its not the first time Assad had used chemical weapons against his own population

    They are now back on message after this latest attack. I wonder why a leader would engage in a course of action that would bring this about. Then again maybe he did not personally sanction the attack, which, if so, indicates he is not fully in control.

    You're right. He might not be in control of his military.


    Horrific and cowardly weapon to use. Disgusting and barbaric way to fight a war.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,349 ✭✭✭Jimmy Garlic


    Lol, rinsing and repeating this tired old story again? Sources - the Syrian observatory for human rights ( the fat bloke in a semi-d in Coventry) and the white helmets (proven terrorists). Such a steaming load of BS. More fake news peddled by the BBC and friends.

    Pure nonsense, bunkum, balderdash, lies, propaganda. It was BS the last time and it is BS now. Assad has absolutely nothing to gain by using chemical weapons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,217 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    Interesting that news of this "chemical attack" breaks just before a conference on the future of Syria opens in Brussels! Isn't it good to see Germany and the UK sit down with the likes of Kuwait and Qatar to discuss democracy. There might even be one or two Syrians at this conference- make that Syrian "activists" or "leading opposition"- I doubt if any of the 60% of the population of Syria who live in government controlled areas are invited to discuss Syria's future though.

    Lol really nothing to gain really ,

    So it's been repeatedly proven he's used chemical weapons against his own population and yet some randomer claims propaganda ,

    Gold comedy gold

    I dont know, I'd be in favour of dropping a few Daisy cutters on Assad's head if his forces try and take more territory.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,268 ✭✭✭✭uck51js9zml2yt


    Watched the program done on those abducted and killed by the Assad regime on C4 last week
    . Horrific.

    When shown the photos taken by his own people he claimed they were doctored.

    Considering he's under seige in Damascus as we speak it wouldn't much to remove certain capabilities to launch chemical weapons ,
    Take away his jets and helicopters first and foremost

    As long as paper and digital money exists, the war with greed will continue. It will never end until we create a new working system of equality for all. The Utopia we all want.

    Individual people have different thoughts and understanding in regard to others opinions, but the problem is this... there are some people out there that will do everything in their power to cut you off when they do not like your opinion even when it is truth.

    Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the international community to "fully and finally remove these horrible weapons from Syria."

    Makes you wonder if isreal might take the lead on removing Assads chemical weapons ,Putin proved useless after claiming assad gave up his chemical weapons ,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,257 ✭✭✭Yourself isit

    Putins bad because he took non Russian territory. Assad is bad because he wants to keep his own.

    Killing shia in Yemen and civilians in Iraq is OK because, well, let's not mention the war(s). Sure aa hell the media doesn't.

    The comedy is assuming that assad had any reason to do this. Why?

    Of course it's nonsense. Trump is not interested in overthrowing assad and hey, presto, just as he is getting away with it assad goes and drops chemical bombs. The man has no self control.

    Exactly 6 years and numerous chemical attack's later and some randomer with a keyboard said it didn't happen ,

    Because why would he ,

    I was wrong about Saddam Hussein and Iraq. He should have just been left at it. Saddam Hussein was a bad man but he kept order.

    I want a bad man governing Syria. As long as they man those borders and stop people from invading Europe, I couldn't give a **** what he does.

    Rwandan Hutus were also trying to take back Rwandan territory until the pesky international community started to complain.

    If only we all kept quiet and allowed Assad massacre his own people in peace.

    I'd be in favour of equating deniers of Assads crimes with deniers of the Holocaust.

    Both groups of deniers are equally disturbed in my view.

    And hows that "stopping people invading Europe" working out? 2 million refugees have come to Europe and Syrian based ISIS carry out almost weekly attacks here since Assad started his murderous crackdown. A real success indeed. "Bad men" tend to beget many more bad men.

    If you care to provide some evidence to back up your claim?

    The only massacre in the region I can recall is the one that went on in Iraq where over 5 hundred thousand people lost there lives in an illegal war.

    Ah well the usual Assad apologists and fans are out in force again.

    The more crimes he commits the more they cheerlead and apologise for him.

    That should be the mandate given to Assad and the other tyrants. Secure your border and we'll leave you alone.

    North Korea do a great job of it. Although North Koreans don't have a cultural mandate to kill us all.

    I saw the pictures of the attack from the BBC not too long ago. They were very harrowing to watch on the news.

    The images on TV of real children and adults being victims of this attack is an absolute disgrace. Any intervention that the international community does in stopping these attacks has to make a real immediate impact so innocent people do not get killed instantly.

    My thoughts are with them in the aftermath.

    ISIS were non existent in Syria before your hero directly and indirectly created them through brutality and driving tens of thousands of new recruits to their ranks due again to his brutality.

    So in short yes I am.

    Iraq and Libya have been "£$done".

    Iran and Syria are now up on the agenda, to be "£$done".

    Ergo, whoever rules Iran or Syria are "Bad Pason". They gas babies, ride nuns and leave the loo seat down, while riding teenagers. They also want to kill you - you personally.

    Honest.

    They need to go. It's in everyone's interest. And for "safety".. and terrorism is bad M'kay

    Hes no hero of mine dont be putting words into my mouth.

    There was no ISIS before the invasion of Iraq. Its funny that most of the terror attacks in Europe have been from European citizens born and bred. All the have to do is turn on the news and there half way to been radicalised, because they see the injustice of western foreign policy in the middle east and the complete hypocrisy of it all.

    After the invasion of Iraq ISIS or their predessesor were a small fringe group in the deserts of Iraq. During the course of the Syrian conflict they grew to a force of tens of thousands and controlled territory the size of britain. Most of these recruits were radicalised by Assads brutality. Its not a difficult one.
