>Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated on or about February 2nd, 2018 that the United States has no evidence that the Syrian government used the banned nerve agent Sarin against its own people in attacks in 2013 and 2017.
>The most recent accusation provoked a massive Tomahawk strike ordered by President Trump that was quite provocative in the eyes of the Russian Federation and of course the Syrian government.
>As TheDuran's Seraphim Hanish details, Secretary Mattis’ assertion is in direct contradiction to the White House Memorandum which was rapidly written and declassified to justify the Americans’ strike.
>However, the Secretary offered no specifics to his statement. He did discuss the fact that there were aid groups and other people, including NGOs and other fighters operating in the area that had provided evidence and reports of what happened with the Sarin strike. Their information stopped short of naming President Assad as the culprit.
>“I don’t have the evidence,” Mattis said. “What I am saying is that other groups on the ground – NGOs, fighters on the ground – have said that sarin has been used, so we are looking for evidence.”
>The reporting on this is highly suspect, though. (((Newsweek, Reuters and the Washington Post))) are three American publications that all have run pieces pointing out this contradictory matter. At this time, (((FoxNews))) has nothing on its site about this matter, but ZeroHedge does.
General “Mad Dog” Mattis, is known for an uncompromising approach to dealing with America’s enemies: "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
>He was an outspoken critic of President Obama’s Middle East policy, naming Iran as the single most serious threat to stability in the region. By all accounts, then, the General is faithful to the idea that projecting American power abroad is a good thing. Seen with this context, the general’s statement seems unusual.
>Russia dismissed the allegations as “a massive propaganda attack conducted with the purpose of slandering Russia.” Moscow called an emergency UN Security Council session to discuss new developments of the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
>On January 23, just ahead of the 24-nation "International Partnership against Impunity for the Use of Chemical Weapons" meeting, news surfaced of a possible chlorine gas attack, in which more than 20 civilians were allegedly injured. The reports were produced by controversial pro-militant sources – the White Helmets and the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), and have not yet been independently verified.
>Earlier, the Russian foreign ministry said Moscow has “consistently and persistently” drawn the international community’s attention to the incidents involving the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and has repeatedly called for an independent and impartial investigation into the matter.

>The US, however, “shows no interest and often simply ‘ignores’ the objective facts” of terrorists using chemical weapons against “the [Syrian] army and civilian population,” the ministry said. It added that Washington prefers to pin all the blame on Damascus instead, often peddling information from dubious and unreliable sources.
>This comes as senior US officials claimed President Donald Trump is set to launch a military action if necessary against the Syrian government which they say is possibly developing new types of chemical weapons.
>The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last week that Syrian armed forces "evolved" their chemical weapons and made continued occasional use of them in smaller amounts since last April.
>This is while the Syrian government has fiercely denied using or even possessing chemical weapons since the country’s compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention was certified by international observers in 2013.
THIS IS FUCKING HOLOHOAX TIER FAGGOTRY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FACTS, JUST WANT SYRIA GONE TO PLANT A PUPPET STATE AND TO GET RID OF EASTERN STABILITY FOR ISRAEL!!!!

never doubted him for a second
Landon Brooks
Unfortunately true.
Ryan Long
meanwhile, on CNN >Mattis warns Syria against using chemical weapons >Mattis said he does not believe that Syria has kept to the 2013 agreement brokered by the US and Russia that required the Assad regime to relinquish their chemical weapons.
"We think that they did not carry out what they said they would do back when in the previous administration when they were caught using it. Obviously, they didn't, because they used it again during our administration, and that gives us a lot of reason to suspect them, and now we have other reports from the battlefield, from people who claim it's been used, we do not have evidence of it, but we are not refuting them, we are looking for evidence of it, since clearly we are dealing with the Assad regime that has used denial and deceit to hide their outlaw actions."

Why would you use gas when you're winning the war. It's counterintuitive and asking for the U.S and Israel to attack you.
So yeah it was fake and Moslems and their alliea bought the lie.

Luis Cook
he did it because democrats were being inconsolable faggots and the MSM and all the leftist on Social media were posting videos of child actors putting on a play as though they've been hit with gas. Had hillary been the potus, we'd have invaded. Trump gave them 3 hours heads up so they could evacuate and then destroyed some planes, which is counter to his war strategy of, "dont telegraph your moves, go after their families"
James Bennett
this Trump attacking Syria attack was a staged weapon test
Carter King
im confused proxy friend. why do you lambast your own people?
Charles Gutierrez
Nah, they weren't actors. Look closely, their heads had gotten bashed with something, leaving the now braindead children to twitch in agony. Someone, probably Obongo's 'bruthaz' in ISIS, systematically beat kids to death. All in a desperate attempt to give Hillary the White House.
Brandon Peterson
>White Hats, White Hats >Rolly Polly White Hats >White Hats, White Hats >Watch Them LARP Now! So what happened to all those (((Sarin))) gassed kids? Did they end up in the matzoh ball soup? >inb4 jidf, yid, kike, jew, lizard demon
Owen Smith
Regardless, Mattis, and Trump both knew Syria didn't cause the gas bombs. Why would trump decide to bomb an airport just to appease msm and Democrats? They will still attack him anyways, it the same shit as the_cuckold virtuesingalli g that they aren't racist when in the end it doesn't fucking matter.
It's fishing as fuck, and Trump declaring Jurusalem part of Israel is confirmation enough that trump has gone ZOG'd
Luis King
the second ((sarin gas attack)) happened after the election, though. But yeah, they most certainly wanted full-on war with Russia / Syria after they spent the entirety of Obamas tenure preparing for exactly that. Really spooky how the dems were totally complacent about the fact we were about to entire a conflict of which they knew absolutely nothing about. Trump should never have bombed those planes just to appease those treasonous fucks who are trying to turn this world to rubble so they con solidify their global power without the people being any wiser
Nathaniel Anderson
>trump has gone ZOG'd >flag only problem is you're a leafistan submissive ZOG bottom, so you're opinion isnvt very credible here being this butt hurt about a couple of planes after bush, clinton, bush, obama, just exposes you,. especially when we narrowly missed having another fucking clinton

Lmao fuck then and their pipeline to Russia. I hope they enjoy 3xPU per barrel. I would rather Israel benefit from Syria getting fucked as well than allow China and Russia to fuck with the dollars value and guess what? If the US was 1940’s Germany hitler would have made the same decision you fags.

There just highly concentrated now because of people like soros and sharia-blue. Its their only argument. They can point to annoy mouse posters and say, 'see goy, you're all racists' but its all a psyop and incorrigible victims who are too young to control themselves and are just angry all the time cause the got worked over with jewish mind tricks

The difference is the powers that be have somewhat better resistance

Most people living in Israel are only Jews in name. I dont even like iseral but at least I have the intellectual honest to admit this.
Id rather have the jews own that land then a bunch of low IQ Muslims.
Jackson Williams
>It's fishing as fuck, and Trump declaring Jurusalem part of Israel is confirmation enough that trump has gone ZOG'd Maybe. But remember that a declaration costs nothing. Jerusalem has been used as the defacto capital of Isreal anyway. But this all signals that he is positive and gentle towards the jewish people. As a first move, what could this imply? What if he needs to punish jews for treason within the US, could they blame Trump on antisemitism. Not really, he just granted them Jerusalem.
Aaron Carter
kek, typical jew cuck american. but I don't blame you, your country shoves jew propaganda up your ass from the day you are born to your interracial parents.
Michael Thompson
You fucking retard read what he's actually saying. He's saying he finds no evidence of the recent allegations, the attacks before in Khan Sheykoun he doesn't deny because he pretty much literally masterminded the attacks on Syria.
