Middle East: Saudis Murder & Dismember Washington Post Contributor

That was in response to a post RJ deleted where he berated me for saying that Syrians were responsible for the Quebec terrorism. I've since deleted that post because he deleted his, but now you copied mine and it'll live without context forever.

I deleted mine before seeing your response.
 
By using the phrase mission accomplished, it's almost as if and stay with me on this...... that trump is not very well informed about history.
 
Sarah Sanders can't do anything without lying. In the link below, she tweeted a picture that is a blatant lie. Mike Pence was in Peru when the people met in the Situation Room about Syria.

Clearly, she has no integrity or shame. What's equally evident is that the WH press corps will let her get away with it.

On Saturday evening, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted out a photo of the Situation Room, stating that the president had put “our adversaries on notice” the previous night. The implication of the photo was that Trump and his staff were reacting to Friday night’s military strike on Syria.
Only one problem with the tweet — Vice President Mike Pence wasn’t in Washington on Friday evening. The photo shows Pence at the table thus highlighting that it was taken earlier in the week as the vice president was in Peru on Friday.
 
NewEngland , why the Haas post? My link above is to that Sanders tweet.
 
Trump wants his own version of the Obama's situation room pic so bad, but they keep screwing it up. First it was the pic that looked like a cramped hotel room at Trump's golf club and now Sanders goofs it up. Plus the events aren't comparable. But PR!
 
Middle East: Syria Mission Accomplished

Trump should just say they got OBL, and Obama was just lying about it. The rubes would totally believe him.

A Statement Issued by the Patriarchates of Antioch and all the East for the Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, and Greek-Melkite Catholic

Damascus, 14 April 2018

God is with us; Understand all ye nations and submit yourselves!

We, the Patriarchs: John X, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, Ignatius Aphrem II, Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, and Joseph Absi, Melkite-Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem, condemn and denounce the brutal aggression that took place this morning against our precious country Syria by the USA, France and the UK, under the allegations that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons. We raise our voices to affirm the following:

This brutal aggression is a clear violation of the international laws and the UN Charter, because it is an unjustified assault on a sovereign country, member of the UN.
It causes us great pain that this assault comes from powerful countries to which Syria did not cause any harm in any way.
The allegations of the USA and other countries that the Syrian army is using chemical weapons and that Syria is a country that owns and uses this kind of weapon, is a claim that is unjustified and unsupported by sufficient and clear evidence.
The timing of this unjustified aggression against Syria, when the independent International Commission for Inquiry was about to start its work in Syria, undermines of the work of this commission.
This brutal aggression destroys the chances for a peaceful political solution and leads to escalation and more complications.
This unjust aggression encourages the terrorist organizations and gives them momentum to continue in their terrorism.
We call upon the Security Council of the United Nations to play its natural role in bringing peace rather than contribute to escalation of wars.
We call upon all churches in the countries that participated in the aggression, to fulfill their Christian duties, according to the teachings of the Gospel, and condemn this aggression and to call their governments to commit to the protection of international peace.
We salute the courage, heroism and sacrifices of the Syrian Arab Army which courageously protects Syria and provide security for its people. We pray for the souls of the martyrs and the recovery of the wounded. We are confident that the army will not bow before the external or internal terrorist aggressions; they will continue to fight courageously against terrorism until every inch of the Syrian land is cleansed from terrorism. We, likewise, commend the brave stand of countries which are friendly to the Syria and its people.
We offer our prayers for the safety, victory, and deliverance of Syria from all kinds of wars and terrorism. We also pray for peace in Syria and throughout the world, and call for strengthening the efforts of the national reconciliation for the sake of protecting the country and preserving the dignity of all Syrians.
 
Interesting:



Definitely interesting. Obviously there are many many Syrians. Some are going to be on the streets if they're not in the areas being attacked. But it seems like the attack that happened near the reporter was no big deal.

Good to see a conservative network put a human face on Syria.
