    Hey, it was a war zone and jounalists were restricted on when and where and how they could travel.
    Medicine is allowed in Venezuela.
    You are wrong about Assad not being responsible. Even Trump has blamed them for chemical attacks and the world press has all been saying that Assad is attacking civilians with chemical weapons.
    I'm not going to follow suit with you on the thinking cap removal statement.

    Thank God even the Trump administration has cooler heads with regard to the use of nukes.

    He’s a reputable source now? It’s been debunked man. At best, there was never any proof. At worst, all signs point to anti-Assad forces and even the beloved white helmets, who are terrorist sympathizers, as having a hand in the attacks. The story has changed since 1 minute after the attacks when US intelligence pretended to already know who was responsible and begged congress to let us bomb them. Other groups actually did an investigation to find facts, imagine that. What they found was that nothing the US said was true, imagine that.

    My reference was to self-defense in a do-or-die attack on our country, so I certainly hope you're wrong, and I'm certain you are.

    This is why Libs are regarded as too risky for positions of defense, and ultimately POTUS.

    Obama's subservience to our country's most powerful and violent enemies has left America in the weakest "perceived" position worldwide, and several Psycho-leaders are rattling their swords. The surest way to put an end to all of those very credible threats is to erase the first one of them that crosses the line.

    If there's a risk of error, always best to err on the side of self-preservation.

    Nonsense.

    No such evidence/conclusion exists.

    Weaker lie than the Russian Hoax.

    Fake News.

    Venezuelans have been starving for nearly a decade, thanks to the Chavez/Maduro families stealing the nation's oil profits and bank accounts. The US under Obama was a partner in this crime and covered it up for years by propping the country up by buying the bulk of Venezuelan Oil.

    Russian hoax? Is it a hoax when several people were either found guilty or plead guilty and some are in prison now? Is it a hoax when the Mueller report actually outlined at least 10 separate counts of obstruction? What a hoax that was.

    It has not been debunked by anyone reputable. All the world's leading press agencies that have visited the region concur that the Syrians have attacked civilians with deadly gas.

    Really?? That's all you took from that??

    The only person on the planet you could "defend" draft dodging, chickenhawk John Bolton from is draft dodging, chickenhawk Trump.

    She wasn't so much defending him as much as trouncing trump for being a puppet.

    She's basically calling Bolton a war monger for NOT being able to go after Russia...

    Uhhh, what?

    How many deaths are on Trump compared to Bolton?

    Trump has too many already but he can never catch Bolton as long as Bolton "works" for him.

    A drop in the bucket for Bolton.

    I wouldn't sell Saudi Arabia a broken 9mm pistol.
