    Probably has been said.

    I don't see why Assad needs to use chemical weapons. Nothing about it makes sense.

    I’d prefer a snipers bullit to Assad’s brain

    Yep! We know that Russia has sophisticated nerve gas and Assad has Sarin gas, so why are they using chlorine, a weapon that dates from World War 1? All the proof I've seen is some kids being hosed down and looking more surprised than anything else. And why is Assad doing this at the very time that he's winning, and at a time when the world is very exercised about chemical warfare because of the attack in England?

    I'm not saying it wasn't Assad; he's evil enough for anything. But it smells very fishy to me. Also, unless the allies are willing to pile troops into Syria, Russia will see that Assad wins. The most bombing will do is to kill a few more people and extend the war by a few months.

    Assad is actually quite smart. He is not a nutt case like Hussein or Quadaffi. He has Russian support. He is in no danger of losing. What is the benefit to him in using gas? What is the benefit to his opposition in using gas and making it appear he did it? Keep in mind, the people he is fighting are nothing but terrorists. Brutal dictator vs thug terrorists. I put no faith in either side.

    I don't think that's it.

    They are not sure Syria did the gassing.

    OR

    He's giving Putin time to get out of Syria (No need to start WWIII if it can be avoided).

    so what is the point of all the hot air? DT is meant to be a "leader", and should act like one! After you have all of the hard facts at hand, only then you decide on any action, if any is required. He did the same with NK.

    Look SBG you/I/We have a small, very small, amount of the evidential facts.

    I was in an intelligence/information Unit (BMEWS) in the USAF. MUMs the word, MadDog aint talking.
    The public will only know all the information after a long time and may never know in some cases.

    In response to "is there evidence"? Maddog keeps saying "we are still assessing the situation". They may very well know and have all the evidence they need but wont tell the public.

    Why? Because the next question is : - "What is the evidence?" and to reveal the evidence would reveal our top secret method of discovery.

    Matthew26:52
    52“Put your sword back in its place, Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
    John 18:36

    36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now, My kingdom is not of this realm.
    Proverbs4:
    27Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
    WHY because the kingdom of heaven is within, Not left Obama, or Right Trump.
    People are being played like a fiddle by satan's so called Elite. The call of any Christian regardless of denomination is to follow the Lamb. He who lives by the sword will die by the sword. People need to stop drinking the Kool- Aid of the world. America is NOT innocent. But what will be will be. This is entrapment- the precepts of men.
    1Corinthians 3:16
    16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

    Who disrupted Egypt and ousted Mubarak : America, why? After.....civil unrest and rise of attacks on Christians, and disruption
    with peace with Israel, which Mubarak kept for 30 years.
    Libya: who toppled Muammar Gaddafi? America, which resulted in civil unrest and the deaths of Americans. Both these nations have not recovered from Americas interference.
    Iraq, Suddam Hussien , not responsible for the WORLD TRADE CENTER, all the supposed Highjackers came from Saudi
    Arabia, not in America's best interest to go after Saudi Arabia- though they too fund Muslim radical groups.
    Syria? What is that about? Obama wanted to support militant uprisings and no one even knows for sure who they are. He gave them support with weapons. Topple Assad why? They are all archaic in those nations, what is the sudden surprise in their Governance? So, the deaths of 100's of thousands of people and the displacement of 100's of thousands more is rational?
    It is an agenda-anyone with eyes and ears to hear knows this. Masonic Elitist are warmongers. All this will result in World war.
    Do you think Russia will not attack America? There should be no talk of bullets in peoples heads, but prayer. As Christians we are called to work not through might but by Christ's Spirit. Politics- we are to be ambassadors for the Kingdom of heaven , not the kingdoms of the world. Which at present are in the power of the prince of the air. "BE IN THE WORLD NOT OF IT" We are a kingdom within the world not of it. Trump is for the agenda. He was placed into power by the Masonic, nothing more , nothing less.
    First you are given Obama and all the debauchery he was for- PLAYED, now Trump- everyone's Knight in shinning armor after Obama , PLAYED.......like a fiddle.
    Heed Proverbs 4:27Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. Don't you know satan knows this? That is why Christ says the kingdom of heaven is within, and you are the temple of the living God. This is the straight and narrow path,
    within. Those who support the system will be played, deceived and lead into perdition. Watch and see.

    Yes but who are they? RNC or DNC? Conservatives or Liberals? Hawks or Doves?Communists or Socialists?
    Conspiracy theorists mostly believe the real enemies are behind the scene doing their deeds e.g George Soros is accused of several conspiratorial endeavors.

    Addendum:
    Also many of us are veterans of past wars.
    We still have a duty to protect our country - so my head (as you say) is full of both bullets and prayer - mostly prayer at the moment.

    And Christ's body full scourges nails, thorns and spears, for those called out of the WORLD.
    Am I to bow down to Veterans or Christ? Who did the Centurian bow to? I am a soldier for Christ not the world. If you have given yourself to government in the past, repent give yourself to the Army of the Lord. We all make worldly choices.We are called out of it, as the Centurian was. You may be a Centurian story. I am sure after speaking a wisdom concerning Christ which Christ commended the Centurian for, once all the glory of the story of the Lord unfolded, he became a solider for Lord .
    Pressing Toward the GoalPhilippians3:13-15
    …13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. 15All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.…
    Moses was stirred to wrath, to come to the defense of a fellow Israelite, this is different then choosing a career of killing, snipers, ex.... God judges all hearts and no one else can judge them.
    The Sin and Punishment of Judah Jeremiah 17:9-11
    …9"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? 10"I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds. 11"As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid, So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly; In the midst of his days it will forsake him, And in the end he will be a fool."…
    You entered into service as one whose mind was worldly. Can you honestly say , knowing who Christ is........ the Arm Forces are for saints? Wouldn't this be disingenuous? I have my own cup once filled with the precepts of men, now the Concepts of Christ.
    You can not answer for the deceit of those truly in command of the world. For instance, every war since World war I, both sides
    have been funded by the Rothschild's . You did what you did for purpose and honor, now it time to do for purpose and honor to the Father. The Lord calls from all stations of life, that is the Centurians story. NOT BY STRENGTH, NOT BY MIGHT, BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD. You hear this truth. So, you are a Veteran called, and now....... A solider of Christ, God Bless you!

    Proverbs4:
    27Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
    Matthew 18:6-8
    Temptations and Trespasses
    6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! 8If your hand or your foot causes you to fall into sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.…
    Now, do not turn to the left or right. You have been bought, purchased through the redeeming Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is God's plan, man's divide and conquer.
    War is the vice of man. Move on, we all fall short of the glory of God, it is the sick who need a physician, and all have been sick to various degrees. No longer profess Arm Force service but Service In the Lord. As for defense of our country, you prove my point, who created the turmoil in the middle east? Think! If a nation is unjustly attacked= example of Moses righteous anger,
    God will judge according to a man's purpose in heart. Think! Being provoked is not an unjust reaction, but woe to him Christ says, through whom the scandal comes. The Woe is upon the provoker not the reactor. Think! Our God is JUST. The wars America has recently fought are NOT in Justice. But for the purpose of evil warmongers, hoarders of the earths natural resources. The END GAME....... CONTROL OF ALL SOULS. Profess the Kingdom of heaven not the ill contrived Wars of men. God Bless!

    I am indeed in the Army of the Lord - first and foremost - but I also have a duty not only to God but to my brethren both earthly and heavenly.
    I will not sit idly by as our citizens are killed, maimed, raped, decapitated, etc...
    You are entitled to your opinion and since it is aimed at me I simply respond that my conscience is entirely clear as to my position.
    As part of the standing militia of the United States of America I intend to follow the precepts of Scripture to disable the workers of evil and thwart their evil deeds :
    Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
    2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
    3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
    4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

    I heard the other day that the opposition to Assad is largely made up of Islamists. Why do we want to provide them with their own private Air Force?

    Subject To-means: to not retaliate with wrath, to be subject to- as Christ was to authorities and Powers when it was time. As all the saints are , as every apostles was . Being subject to is not the same as being part of the Subjugation. That is what is coming.
    If you are on the side of government today you will be mislead.
    You are not properly hearing the scriptures . Nor the story of the Centurian or what I said about Moses nor see the current state of affairs.
