Quartz — In a confusion of signals, the Trump administration says the Syria airstrike was a one-off

The Trump administration has given out conflicting signals regarding its attitude toward Syrian president Bashar al Assad: it says its missile airstrike was a one-off response to Syria’s sarin attack, and that its policy accepting Assad as the country’s leader hasn’t changed.

    The US has gassed its people on an ongoing basis at least since the Sixties. Tear gas is chemical warfare under international convention but for some reason it is OK to use it on your own people — like me. I have been at anti-war protests were tear gas was used.

    People say, oh, it's not lethal. Maybe, but it is torture.

  7. The strategy is the same as the so-called Russian election hack, presenting opinions as "evidence".

    It makes you long for the good old days when they actually fabricated evidence, like Colin Powell detailing Iraq's non-existent WMDs to the UN.
