I'm so flattered you're taking the time to do a thorough study of my posting habits! It's true, I do seem to do that from time to time. I really miss the "edit post" feature on message boards because sometimes I hit send too early

d. I somehow doubt that John Larkin can actually find a left-wing political figure who will defend Assad's right to use gas on civilians (or anybody el se).
lsad dropping some of his own stocks.
don't have the gear to deliver sarin effectively, so why would they hang o nto stocks of it? It's nasty stuff to have around if you are being bombarde d on a regular basis.
ction of Hillary Clinton in conspiracy with the CIA.
want to smuggle sarin into Syria? Assad had enough of his own chemical war fare agents already there, most of which got cleaned out in 2014 under UN s upervision.

Uh-huh, and which smart delivery system is this that manages to single out children and leave all the adults standing? Sarin is not effective when exp loded with a dumb bomb, it needs to be aerosolized and sprayed over the tar get.
stealing and smuggling all sorts of arms into Syria from Libya.
be harder to demonstrate.
The UN did just that in the 2013 incident of a chemical agent use blamed on Assad. So the rebels and their allies have already been caught doing this before.
-called missile attack. The idiots didn't even effectively shut down a runw ay, the same airbase was used to launch new airstrikes 12 hours later. The U.S. of course lies about the damage done, all they know how to do is lie.
ut they can be filled up remarkably quickly, as people have been demonstrat ing ever since bulldozers were developed.
Not really. There are systems with big bombs that obliterate the surface wi th deep penetration combined with what's call area denial bomblets making i t difficult for repair crews to get in there.
nerate a lot of publicity, which seems to be what he's most interested in.
Neither made anything clear.

You know that? How?
The decision was made by his national security council, reportedly unanamously.
It would be
Then the Russians bombed them.
Even more constructive, stop dropping nerve gas bombs.

The pictures of dead children were pretty dramatic, too.

I doubt it. Why would you think that building a new runway would be easier than repairing say 20% of a damaged runway?
During WWII we built runways using perforated steel planks in a few days.

So you wouldn't mind if your mother stood next to a live bomb paid for by non-US citizens?
If that is the case, it implies a lot about your relationship with your mother!
Ditto planting and exploding bombs outside a Macdonalds, timed to go off Saturday lunchtime when there will be children there. (In the Warrington case, one child died instantly, one took a week to die).
Sad. Not acceptable.
They always are, e.g.
Yes, they were. Sadly many children die every day in conflicts like this, and IMO no method of doing that is particularly more or less reprehensible than another. They are gone, and airstrikes will not bring them back.
The question is whether the attack will cause any meaningful reduction in the intensity of the conflict going forward. Your contention is that Assad will be cowed by it, my contention is that the chemical attack was a deliberate provocation by Assad/Russia to generate just such a response, i.e. a moderately sophisticated setup, to exactly what end no one is quite sure.
Time will tell, I guess.
Indeed, killing innocents for ANY cause is reprehensible and must be condemned ad prosecuted as a crime.
Governments have no more right to act unilaterally in these matters than do any of their citizens. They must have a legal basis to act, otherwise we face anarchy sooner or later.
US law on War Crimes:
It is unfortunate that many world leaders justify their morally and ethically challenged acts by appealing to emotion. If that is truly what is wanted then it is back to the inquisition and witch burning.

I don't think you have been paying close attention. Trump has many, many tightly held beliefs. It is simply that many of those beliefs contradict one another. But you can't say his actions are not in line with his beliefs... at least not all of them. But likewise his actions often are directly in contradiction of his beliefs, or at least some of them. It's all just a matter of picking Trump's beliefs that are appropriate for your claims at the moment.
This reminds me of the time that Trump criticized McCain for being taken prisoner of war by the Vietnamese by saying, "He's *not* a war hero".... "He's a war hero 'cause he was captured. I like people who weren't captured". As President he gives a speech in the CIA main headquarters lobby in front of the Memorial Wall, with its 117 stars for the CIA officers who have died in the line of duty. If Trump "prefers" people who weren't captured, I wonder how he feels about people who were captured and executed? Or is that another of his many, many contradicting beliefs?

Consider that he is judging you by his own standards. You linked killing children by gas with killing by other means. He is the one saying it implies all are acceptable.

Did they find all that printed on the warning label?

I hadn't dreamed of that "train of thought".
I find it difficult to interpret his sentence in that way. Maybe I like watching happy carefree children too much.
It is difficult to dumb down arguments enough to make them clear to John Larkin, It's particularly difficult where his exaggerated self-image prevents him from admitting to ever having made a mistake.

The Weekly Reader would be more his speed or maybe something with more pictures.
It's hard to ignore when looking at the message pane. I can understand how it would be difficult for you (as is including everything in one post). It's *NOT* "sometimes". You are an idiot.
Jets tend to be a bit pickier about their runways. A little FOD will ruin your day. But it still doesn't take a lot to repair a hole in a runway.
The journalistic standards of Time aren't intimidating lately. Just look up a bunch of insult words.
