Subject: False Flag or Not....The Reasons For The Limited Airstrike

Note: Regardless of who actually unleashed the chemical attack to begin
with, President Trump CANNOT go that route for obvious reasons and has
to rely on the staff he selected to advise him. If he were to go against
their advice, he would be labeled a "Fascist Dictator," and impeachment
proceedings would begin and nothing in America would get done. He has
to have support of Congress to "Make America Great Again."
The
political strategy was correct (IMO) and it places the United States
back into a role of leadership around the world. Obama destroyed
America's reputation and moving forward requires nasty decisions. It
also has a two-fold accomplishment of sending the message that "chemical
warfare will not be tolerated," and is a direct message to North
Korea....the real problem we face. How President Trump proceeds from
this latest limited attack will determine if he can continue to work
with Putin and completely destroy al Qaida / ISIS.
Note: How many Tomahawk missiles does it take to destroy an airfield? Maybe 10?? Where did the other 49 missiles drop?
Theories
of "blackmail" and "naivety" is NOT something Trump is guilty of, but
setting the stage to deal with the globalists is the chess game he has
to play.
I
trust he knows what he's doing and it certainly is NOT up to you or me
to consult the president about theories (as they relate to the past),
but to prepare ourselves for one hell of a ride this year....regardless
who is president. Economic collapse, rioting, Civil War, and a possible
EMP nuclear attack is in the stars for humanity to deal with.
Yes....from
all indicators, and how nearly every event has a false flag element, WE
see the likelihood that Assad did not deliberately attack that village
with chemicals, but what we know so far is that Rebels in that region
were storing Sarin Nerve Gas given to them by Hillary Clinton and Obama.
Seymour
Hersch is a very creditable investigative journalist and is NOT getting
the attention lately on how Sarin Nerve Gas was given to McCain's
rebels in Syria.--Dave Bertrand # DaveBertrand (@bertranddave1)
"Seymour
Hersh also said that a secret agreement in 2012 was reached between the
Obama Administration and the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and
Qatar, to set up a sarin gas attack and blame it on Assad so that the US
could invade and overthrow Assad. «By the terms of the agreement,
funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA,
with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s
arsenals into Syria»."

Gorka on Syria: ‘This Is Not a Full-Throated War Deployment,’ Just ‘Surgical’ Missile Strike
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, deputy adviser to the president and former Breitbart News National Security editor, joined SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily to discuss the American missile attack on Syria.
“I’m
going to be very specific about my comments this morning, Raheem,”
Gorka began. “We know that the best way to go to war is to protect
certain information sources, methods, and to make sure the enemy doesn’t
know what you’re going to do next. Surprise is incredibly important. We
act in a strategic fashion that’s very different from the last eight
years.”
Gorka
said statements made by President Trump and Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson made it clear whom the United States holds responsible for the
Idlib chemical weapons attack.
“I’m
not going to talk about percentages or how we know, but the fact that
those statements were made can make everybody rest easy that yes, the
regime was responsible,” he said.
Kassam
noted that President Trump has been critical of intelligence mistakes
in the past, and the memory of faulty intelligence leading into the Iraq
War is still fresh in many minds. “Where is the strategic imperative
here? How does this help the United States?” he asked.
“Very
simply: because what we’re talking about is the use of weapons of mass
destruction against civilians,” Gorka replied. “And I’m fully cognizant
of the fact that people are very leery about prior engagements. The U.K.
dossier you mentioned, specifically, will go down in history as a
misuse of intelligence analysis. I understand that. But it doesn’t mean
that you throw away all intelligence analysis simply when somebody
politicized it once a decade ago or more than a decade ago.”
“The strategic imperative is very clear. These weapons not only are banned; they are being used against civilians. That is a global problem,”
he said. “We have sent a very clear message that when you do something
as heinous, as evil, as using weapons of mass destruction against
unarmed civilians, you will pay a penalty. That’s why it’s in the U.S. national security interest.”
Gorka stressed it was important to “send a very clear message that these weapons are not to be used anywhere.”
“It’s
a very clear national security message,” he said. “The global context
affects America as much as it affects the people who were killed in that
attack on Tuesday.
Weapons of mass destruction are a global phenomena that have to be
dealt with by a global strategy. So yes, the two things are not mutually
exclusive, but the moral imperative and the national security
imperative can overlap, and in this case, they do.”
Gorka
said that based on preliminary assessments, the strike was “absolutely”
considered successful, “simply because of the damage that was done to
the airbase that was used for the chemical attack on Tuesday.”
“If
you look at the response globally from those countries that have
responded positively, absolutely,” he added. “However, it’s early days.
The metric for the success of this will depend a lot on what Damascus
does next. But as far as we are concerned at this initial stage, yes,
absolutely, it was a success.”
Kassam
asked if Gorka was surprised to hear critics of the administration
claim the Syria strike was intended as a distraction from President
Trump’s troubles.
“Having
been in my current position for the last eleven weeks, I can believe
anything,” Gorka replied with dry humor. He lamented “what this
administration has put up with, in terms of utter, utter cynicism and politically motivated coverage of everything we do.”
“I
say again, look at the speech made by our ambassador to the United
Nations, and look at those photographs. It is unconscionable for anybody
– I don’t care who you voted for on November the 8 – it is unconscionable for anybody to say we are making political theater out of the deaths and the injuries that happened on Tuesday.”
Gorka
repeated that both the moral imperative and national security
imperative dovetailed in President Trump’s action. “We have sent a very
clear message: America is back, America is leading, and America will not
be a feckless, spineless non-actor in the international community.
Those days are over,” he said.
“We
will be politically chastised, though, by those who do not recognize
that we have a new administration,” he allowed. “So be it. We’re used to
it.”
Kassam
quoted Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) assertion that President Trump should
have come to Congress for authorization before attacking Syria.
“Just
look at the last sixty years of presidential use of force,” Gorka
countered. “This goes to a lot of the Breitbart readers. I want them to
think about something for a second. Nothing has changed in the
president’s policy to the use of force in international affairs. He said
during the campaign, and he’s been explicit since he came into office,
that he is not interested – this is not the
second Bush administration. We are not interested in invading countries
and occupying them. He understands why that is not a good idea and why
fundamentally it’s un-American. We were born in rejection of imperialism, not to reinforce it.”
“This
is not Gulf I, nor is this 2003,” he vowed. “This is a cruise missile
strike against an air facility involved in a chemical attack on
civilians. People need to understand that. This is not a full-throated
war deployment. It is a surgical strike using missiles. I’d like people
to think about that for a second. I understand the isolationist
imperative, but weapons of mass destruction are in a very special
category.”
Kassam
countered that hearing any American president talk about military
action to neutralize weapons of mass destruction produced a “sinking
feeling in the pit of [his] stomach about what’s coming next.”
“How do you stop the train once it’s in motion? We know how these things work. We’ve seen them develop before,” he said.
Gorka
responded, “I know the president, and I know what he thinks” about the
slippery slope into larger actions of the Iraq War variety.
Kassam asked if he could guarantee Thursday night’s attack on the Syrian airfield was a “one-off.”
“Again,
we don’t give our playbook away,” Gorka responded. “All I’m saying is I
know the president, and I know his attitude to what happened in the
last sixteen years. You can take that to the bank, my friend.”
Kassam
asked if Gorka could offer assurances that the United States would not
be drawn into a proxy war, or even direct conflict, with Russia.
“There’s
absolutely no need to fear for any broader escalation,” Gorka said.
“The Russian government will decide what it’s going to do next. It’s a
sovereign state. But even when you have satrapies, even when you have
client states, there comes a time when you have to decide whether it is
in your personal interest to maintain that relationship.”
“I
would say when that state, when that client, starts to use chemical
weapons against its own populace, then the calculus changes,” he
continued. “We understand the comments being made, but there is a point
at which this kind of sponsorship is no longer in the interests of the
sponsoring state. We are completely confident that we have this in the
category in which it’s going to stay.”
